THIS IS CNN: Louis Farrakhan Uses CNN Contributor Marc Lamont Hill to Promote $260 Music Box Set.
Louis Farrakhan is using a photo with CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill to promote a $260 box set of music on his Nation of Islam website, TheWrap has learned.
Hill, a political commentator for CNN touted on the site as “one of the leading intellectual voices in the country,” told TheWrap that he was not aware his image was being used for commercial purposes and will ask for its removal.
“I don’t want to be used to promote anybody’s materials,” he said. “I am going to ask for it to be taken down as I don’t think it’s consistent with my values and my professional standards.”
The professional standards of the graphic designer who made the ad’s headline practically illegible are also pretty questionable.
