media bait …


is it obvious or what ?  Media bait … truths or something else?

the media, leveling some terrible things against MJ,   the mothers of MJ’s children  and any potential players regarding the Will, the money and land. the somewhat group Media effort  to bait all parties involved has begun … the best way to handle this … is to stay quiet …

reports of MJ being laid to rest at neverland is not somewhere i would have guessed … i watched a video once of  MJ stating he would never go back there … the interviewer asked him twice and he was adament …he will never go back there … with no disrespect and possible mis-information on my part but that just seems to be a place of un-rest and terrible memories

energy bill … jobs can be created


21st century living requires a huge amount of change no matter what is going on in other countries

72% want health-reform 70% are willing to pay a bit more if it means changing the environment …

people who have clout are saying that it will force jobs to other countries, that what difference will it make since other countries are not doing the same thing … the people voted  President Obama in to make changes … exchange coal-mining plants for solar and wind manufacturing plants … invest in natural gas …

watch any video of President Bush talking about the booming economy, the astronomical amounts of housing availability … the end result is our current financial crisis

the problem we have was a supply and demand in excess  … that the Bush government indulged in… they failed to self- regulate , enforce regulation on Wall Street and others in the private sector

is your tv or cable reporter a journalist or Lawyer?


while it’s obvious why so many on cable tv are lawyers/journalist … knowing or having the mind set to question the legalities , using it as credibility, informing on crossing the line and acting as experts …

still strange to see and hear them acknowledge each other as lawyers while acting as reporters and journalists… what ever happened ?

it is apparent they aren’t as personable, relaxed and or spontaneous as real journalists and makes you wonder how much are they getting paid …

is it a position that pays them for being a lawyer first then tv reporter? or are they tv lawyer commentators? … where are the tried and true tv reporters, journalist and or commentators who aren’t lawyers ?

isn’t anyone who went to school for journalism upset?

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 …
