Black Agenda Report was founded as a radio and TV program in 2006 by Glen Ford, Bruce A. Dixon, Nellie Bailey, Margaret Kimberly, and Leutisha Stills. [6] Ford had previously worked at the program Black Commentator, but left in 2006 to form the Report with other previous staff members. [2] [7] During the presidency of Barack Obama, journalists of the outlet severely criticized the president and accused him of being backed by corporations.
