Main Stream Media

im not sure if there is any rhyme or reason to what they actually do. to me ( im not the right person to ask- our friend kenny pohl and wife lisa are- they actually react to what is on the news)

anyway- dont you ever get the feel that the media is biased on everything- as in depending on what channel you are watching arent you just being forced fed that biased information? i guess im not talking about the nationwide evening news- well actually yeah i think i am

i dont watch it- why? cuz if it is local news it is all bad news- deaths ect

if it is national news it is what has president done today, a biased and non reality take on the war, middle east ect

if it is an O'reilly or Jon Stewart then you know what you are getting there- just got to pick which side of fence you on

and then if it is something along the lines of a Today show- well then it to me has become basically a tabloid- not sure when it become so important to report what Brittany Spears did the night before- we must be laughed at for how these quote unquote celebrities have taken over how much air time on national TV and internet space?

i dont watch it-

however- is their a pre determined boilerplate of negativity for black folks? or is it more common for them to report negative doings of blacks vs whites?

im not sure- if you are famous- black or white it will monopolize the media's attention

do more black crimes get reported then white crimes? probably- especially when done to white person

i think the root of your issue is this- black on black crime, not a big deal- happens daily, goes under the radar- and i know you have opinions and previous arguments of why this happens- the actual crimes themselves, and how those people were potentially put into those situations to where it was inherent that crime would eventually unfold- and i think you are right

black on white crimes are a whole another subject- this is where the media portrays the outrage, the shock, and the circus begins

white on white? unless it is a husband and pregnant wife or someone famous it gets mentioned but not portrayed in the same manner


2 other things- i heard what tomlin said- thought of you- (btw wouldnt he be an example of a non athlete reaching and fulfilling his potential?)- (btw #2 that dude is you) ( btw #3- did you see his hairline on forehead? go back and look- it is crazy- it makes either his forehead or hair look fake- weird) and of course what he said made sense

other thing- you see Wilborns comments?
