New York (CNN Business) Media outlets are ramping up their coverage of anti-Asian violence following last week's Atlanta shootings, but many Asian-American journalists feel the issue has been ignored for far too long. "We have been miserably late," journalist Connie Chung told CNN's Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. Chung said " anti-Asian hate started the moment it came out of President Trump's mouth," adding that it started picking up the moment Trump called Covid-19 The China Virus or the Kung Flu. Anti-Asian hate crimes have more than doubled during the pandemic, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. Since then, stories about anti-Asian violence have filled the news.
