Tuesday’s CNN This Morning anticipated the Supreme Court would rule against affirmative action and student loan forgiveness, cases which still were undecided hours later. Unsurprisingly, CNN preemptively decried possible outcomes and advocated for both liberal policies.
When asked to discuss the cases before the Supreme Court, Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic focused on the two cases affecting students, presenting both policies as black and white:
But the two that I'll highlight for us, Poppy and Phil, involve, you know, higher education and affirmative action for starters, whether racial affirmative action policies that have been in place for decades, and that have enhanced campus diversity, and really given black and Hispanic students a leg up, whether they will be ended. A group of conservatives have challenged that.
