A letter to the Media

I'm am disturbed about the media. It is very scary how they operate. I'm glad you feel that way about them because the weak minded can't see it. I am not sure when the change happended or was it the fact that I'm able to recognize more with age. The media is now owned by the large infrastructure companies, and all of their stories support the general themes and thoughts of their editors and leadership. I think writers get told what to write about my nanagement, and will spin any story to meet those ends. I read the sports writers and they flip flop each and every week. They are looking for sensation nowadays so they will say anything to support the sensation they desire to generate. Disney, GE, Fox are all sending their personal messages through the media. Instead of informing the public of facts and allowing them to draw a conclusion, they inform the public of their conclusion and only provide facts that support them. That is what is disturbing to me. I read news from all over the world to find the common truth in all of them and create my own conclusion based upon that. I think it will get worse. Remember V for Vendetta. It was based upon a society where media ruled the world. Things are becoming eerily familiar in that regard. The mainstream media can affect the gullible and uninformed. The problem is that 80% of our country falls into that bucket. They get led by media.

Athletics, all aspects, is an arena for brothas to succeed. There is a reason why. The results are obvious in sports and therefore objective. Most other jobs are driven by subjective results. Except Sales!!!!!!! That is why there are so many athletes and bruh's that can find success there. Objective Results Man, straight up. Negative connotations, culture, stereotypes play a part in subjective evaluations, but not objective ones. This is a key factor right here. Dolphas and I spent a whole XMAS reviewing this concept.

Tomlin is real. His hairline gives him a prominent forehead. It has the same magic power as the jawline or chin depending on your point of view, hehe.

I read Wilbon's article before I wrote last night's comment. That is what set me off. I was mad at first until I reread it. I see what he is doing. He did the same thing Jamele Hill did for ESPN. She works for conservative Disney and Wilbon works for the conservative Post and they guide his writing topics. He failed in his attempt to deliver the message. He missed his target. He had an intent vs. impact problem. I dominated critical thinking and arguementative writing classes so I can see the literary tactics at play. He was setting up his point by recognizing the opposition's point of view. It allows your writing to be more powerful because you are refuting their reply in advance. A pre-emptive strike per se. He was saying that he isn't supriseed that young black man died early and probably at the hands of another young black man. He is saying that it happens so much below the surface(poor areas) that to see that crop up in mainstream society is not a suprise.
