CNN Praises MLK For Being A Socialist "Before It Was Cool"
freebeacon.com
A CNN piece published Monday heralded Martin Luther King Jr.'s views on issues beyond civil rights, including his support for democratic socialism.
CNN's John Blake wrote about "Three ways MLK speaks to our time," published as a straight news article rather than an opinion piece. Blake wrote that on the holiday honoring his legacy, King's commitment to socialism, role as an "environmental hero," and congeniality towards his opponents ought to be considered alongside his racial advocacy.
"If you're more familiar with your smartphone than your history, try this: Think of King not just as a civil rights hero, but also as an app — his legacy has to be updated to remain relevant," Blake wrote.
King, he wrote, was "an environmental hero," despite never actually speaking out on the need for environmental protection. Instead, modern environmentalists maintain King "planted the seeds" for the movement by speaking broadly about "the interconnectedness of life."
Likewise, Blake writes King "was a socialist before it was cool."
