An ongoing historical record of mainstream media exclusions of Andrew Yang (
Last Updated: 11/19/2019)
A Visual History of the #YangMediaBlackout
Back in June of 2019, I tweeted about the latest egregious example of MSNBC
excluding Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang from their ongoing
coverage of the 2020 Presidential candidates. There had been previous
examples, but that was the worst up to that point because they had photos of
all 20 candidates who were going to be in the first debates, and instead of
including Yang as one of them, they included someone who wasn't even going
to be there. I then started to add each new example as a new reply, and that
ongoing thread has now been covered over and over again with each new
example as a source of entertaining absurdity. It's been covered by
traditional media outlets like The Guardian, Vox, and The Hill. It's also
been covered by new media like Ethan and Hila Klein of the H3 Podcast for
their two million subscribers.
I have gotten many requests to put the entire thread in one place outside of
Twitter, so this article has been created to meet that request. Each time a
new example occurs, I will update the thread on Twitter, and update this
page on Vocal too.
I have also made a point here of expanding on the thread in a way I can't on
Twitter, by expanding the timeline with earlier examples that had occurred
before I started my thread. So instead of starting in June, this timeline
starts back in March...
March 18, 2019:

April 25, 2019:
Andrew Yang excluded again from list that has grown to include Joe Biden.
April 28, 2019:
During an interview with Andrew Yang, to his face, he's shown this list of
all candidates, which again excludes him, even though they're talking to him.

May 17, 2019:
With the list of candidates now exceeding twenty, Andrew Yang is excluded
yet again, despite outpolling seven of the candidates listed.
June 9, 2019:
Andrew Yang excluded again from list of candidates running, despite
outpolling half of them.
June 22, 2019:
Listing all twenty candidates who will be in the first debate over two
nights, Andrew Yang is excluded to make room for a candidate who didn't even
qualify for the debate. This marks the beginning of my thread on Twitter.
June 25, 2019:
On Morning Joe, every candidate's name in the top eight is read aloud,
except for Andrew Yang's. Be sure to watch the video.
June 26, 2019:
In their coverage of a MoveOn poll, MSNBC excludes Andrew Yang, despite
their obviously being room for him, and it looking odd to do so.
June 27, 2019:
Despite outpolling half the stage, Andrew Yang is asked the fewest questions
at the first debate hosted by NBC.
June 28, 2019:
In one of the more amusing examples, MSNBC's graphic is turned off right
when Andrew Yang's name is mentioned.
June 29, 2019:
In another odd-looking example, Andrew Yang is excluded despite it looking
weird to do so with four names on the left and three on the right.
June 30, 2019:
Yet again, Andrew Yang is excluded in a way that makes the graphic look like
something is weirdly missing.
July 4, 2019:
In this example, Andrew Yang is either missing entirely or is located in the
lower left-hand corner behind the chyron.
July 11, 2019:
Given the opportunity to describe Andrew Yang's platform, MSNBC chooses to
exclude all three of his main policies: The Freedom Dividend, Medicare for
All, and Human-Centered Capitalism, and instead lists six of his lesser-
known policies.
August 4, 2019:
Having invited Andrew Yang to speak about the mass shootings in Ohio and
Texas, MSNBC cuts away while speaking to Yang to cover Bernie Sanders.
August 9, 2019:
In their coverage of the poll that qualified Andrew Yang for the fall
debates, MSNBC excludes Yang.
August 14, 2019:
In this example, MSNBC includes Andrew Yang, but makes sure to put him in
the very back and block him from the shot.
August 15, 2019:
Given a poll where three candidates polled at 2%, two of them are included
while Andrew Yang is not.
August 27, 2019:
Given a poll where Andrew Yang polled 7th highest, CNN chooses to exclude
him and leave four spaces empty.
August 28, 2019:
In their coverage of a Quinnipiac poll where Andrew Yang ranked 6th highest,
CNN decides to exclude Yang and instead include Beto O'Rourke who didn't
even make the top six. In a correction, they later remove Beto, but continue
to exclude Yang.
September 2, 2019:
In a graphic that is obviously ordered from highest to lowest ranking in the
polls, Andrew Yang is moved from 6th to 9th, while Klobuchar is moved from
10th to what should have been Yang's position.
September 5, 2019:
Listing the 10 candidates who will appear in the September debate, MSNBC
lists only nine candidates. Andrew Yang is missing.
September 6, 2019:
On NBC's website full of candidates, for some reason Andrew Yang had no
listed profile. This omission was later corrected.
September 9, 2019:
In one of the more infamous examples, Andrew Yang was listed as John Yang
while crowdsurfing, causing #WhoIsJohnYang to trend on Twitter.
September 12, 2019:
Analysis of ABC coverage reveals Andrew Yang had been provided with two
seconds of coverage despite outpolling others given orders of magnitude more
time.
September 21, 2019:
Reporting on the Iowa Steak Fry, MSNBC created a graphic that excluded not
only Andrew Yang, but also Bernie Sanders and five other candidates who
attended the event. Snopes reached out to MSNBC to comment on this one. They
did not respond.
October 3, 2019:
After hauling in $10 million in the third quarter, CNN chose to exclude
Andrew Yang and instead include Cory Booker who raised $4 million less.
October 5, 2019:
In a graphic with one error, its Andrew Yang where the mistake was made.
October 13, 2019:
Reporting on the results of a Fox News poll, CNN chose to include Cory
Booker, but not Andrew Yang, despite both getting 2% in the poll.
October 19, 2019:
In their reporting of the candidates with the most cash in hand, MSNBC chose
to exclude Andrew Yang, and instead include Cory Booker who had less cash
on hand.
October 22, 2019:
Deciding to do a special on climate change where the top seven Democratic
candidates are asked about their climate change policies, the Weather
Channel chose to exclude Andrew Yang, despite being ranked 6th.
October 24, 2019:
Reporting on a new poll where six candidates polled at 1%, CNN decided to
include only Beto, while excluding Andrew Yang and four other candidates.
October 31, 2019:
When Andrew Yang achieved his first qualifying poll for the December debate,
MSNBC chose to exclude him from the poll results, despite showing Tulsi
Gabbard. They both got 5% in New Hampshire.
October 31, 2019:
When 300 schools in Iowa held a mock election, Andrew Yang got the 4th
highest number of votes. Local ABC affiliates chose to display Pete
Buttigieg in 4th. They later corrected their story and said all the votes
hadn't come in yet at the time of reporting, but nowhere in the original
story did they say the results weren't final, and despite Biden, Yang, and
Pete all being virtually tied at 7%, they chose to show only Biden and Pete.
November 10, 2019:
In a report on how cable news is disproportionately covering the
Presidential candidates, MSNBC chose to exclude Andrew Yang from a graphic
which listed 10 candidates, including Beto O'Rourke who had already dropped
out of the race. For the record, only five candidates were outpolling Yang
during the week listed, and he got 0.5% of the coverage.
November 17, 2019:
In one of the most egregious examples so far, MSNBC reported on the results
of a Des Moines Register poll by including every candidate who polled over 0
%, except Andrew Yang who polled at 3%. Notable in this exclusion is their
inclusion of Michael Bloomberg who has yet to officially announce that he's
even running, and the fact there's an empty spot.
I will continue updating this story with new examples for as long as there
are new examples to list. Place your bets on what the next example will be
and when it will occur...
