Taibbi and other members of the Media


My opinion on  sensationalizing the death of anyone?

it’s disgusting but gotta say i turned the channel and station after station only made  comments about what was bizarre, strange and weird side of this man’ life…  made me upset

the man was dead or dying, these vultures needed to have some f’ing RESPECT for what was happening … and chose not to

listening to taibi and other commentators not only disgusted me with the nasty negative comments about michael jackson and his past …  it is disrespectful to not only MJ but to his family and kids

i accept taibbi’s opinion, but again it showed a disregard of  the death of a human being …  and totally unacceptable …
keep the negative awful comments to yourself  during  this time

i hope the people from the hospital who leaked info to any media companies get into trouble as well as any medics who called cable stations … totally unacceptable

roland burris … org post 5/17


is … guilty of a lot of things but of pay to play?

Blago has been under surveillance for quite sometime … if burris was guilty i believe he would not have gotten this far,  the authorities (the FBI) would not let burris go through the process of getting elected if the tapes or transcripts had evidence of  pay to play … no matter how hard chris matthews uses his cable slot time to manipulate the fate of RBurris …

his Political behavior just seems par for the course … just on the edge of being legal.

when burris finally got into office … it was apparent his appointment was only going to last until 2010 anyway

public polls? are the numbers accurate?


i didn’t get polled…

i will admit i don’t put much merit into Polls because the sample could be biased … who did they call? was the average person included? what part of the country did they call and how many were republicans?

53% voted Obama into office and according to this  poll 56% give or take a -3/+3 which for me could be a plus 59/60% and the minus 53%   the very number that voted him in …          Right?

jus sayin

MSNBC lineup… or just a sad joke?


i am just one of several million who watch MSNBC on mainstream tv(nbc) cable and on-line …

BUT …

i— would like to ask for a ” call to action” a massive email, twitter, facebook whatever to get the line-up of … reporters? changed

give tamron hall and david shuster more time and  less time to the morning giggle crew after morning joe …

they have— on several occasions proved to me to be less than worthy.    i love a good laugh but when the secret laughs or secret comments interfere with the news  story … you have to wonder

there are many qualified reporters … tamron hall and david shuster are good reporters maybe better than contessa and her morning friends …

i stopped watching morn joe … it’s too relaxed, somewhat cynical and whole lot of jaded behavior going on … there are many unemployed people in the US and while cable news among other things lacks discipline … most of us like news we can actually use… i had to turn the channel

i vote to keep the giggle crew on in the morning but give david shuster and  tamron hall more time to do the real news .

NEWS alert *** lol

for those who didn’t know,  MSNBC hired Dylan Ratigan formerly with CNBC for the 9-11am set… 2 hours?  hardly an improvement

CW cancels ‘The Game” and Everybody hates Chris”


Is The Game Over for Black Television?

Protesters be damned, the CW is still trashing The Game and Everybody Hates Chris. Brace yourselves for a Tyler Perry existence.

  • By: Erin Evans | Posted: June 3, 2008 at 6:24 AM

Fans of The Game have been all over the Internet for the past several months, trying to save the canceled CW show with online petitions, Tweets, Facebook-status dedications and e-mail chains lamenting the show’s unceremonious demise. In an effort to save the show, the cast recorded a YouTube video, Change the Game Campaign, to get fans to blow up the message boards on CWTV.com.

To capitalize on the uproar, BET last week aired an eight-hour The Game marathon. I took the bait and ended up having a two-hour Tweetfest with friends, debating our favorite episodes and characters.

But the save The Game campaign isn’t just about missing its snappy one-liners. The recent cancellation of The Game and the also popular Everybody Hates Chris has drastically reduced the number of black faces on network television. It’s as if network producers have decided that only Tyler Perry’s brand of pandering, lowest-common-denominator blackness is fit for prime time.

my response to this 2008 article …

it’s  still relavant … Afro-American faces are far and few on (mainsteam tv) and as the new 2009 season starts we can look forward to Hawthorne with Jada P smith (cable) … hopefully more shows will be included … we have to commend Tyler P for keeping Black actors employed… in 2008,  while most Black Shows were being dropped he was going strong … to be continued …

we need to write letters to get more Afro-Americans on Mainstream tv …
