Did You See…….
…………last week’s “Bill Moyers Journal” report on media ownership by people of color?
No?
Well, then, here it is.
NOVEMBER 19th UPDATE: Here’s the follow-up on the larger issue of consolidation.
I Don't Know If The "Blackout" Worked…….
……….but a syndicated Black talk radio host got some CNN coverage, and that ain’t chopped liver. Too bad the coverage wasn’t for Black radio’s role in Jena.
He's BAACCK! Do You Care?
Clash Of The Talking Heads :)
As tired as I can—and do—get of West and Smiley at times, I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this dialogue. Of course, I’m a HUGE fan of “Charlie Rose.”
Learned A LOT About Writing (And The Artist's Balancing Act)……….
………..from Bruce Springsteen in his recent Rolling Stone interview.
You gotta get the mag to read all of what I read, ’cause most of it is not online.
Mumia, Inc. (Fourth In A Long-Running Series)
As the documentary film premieres in Europe, The Guardian did an interview with the man in question.
“I spend my days preparing for life, not preparing for death,” he says. “They haven’t stopped me from doing what I want every day. I believe in life, I believe in freedom, so my mind is not consumed with death. It’s with love, life and those things. In many ways, on many days, only my body is here, because I am thinking about what’s happening around the world.”
As always, Mumia Abu-Jamal uses nommo (the power of words) to penetrate the soul and generate thought. Not bad for somebody who doesn’t have his own blog. 😉
Megan Williams. Remember The Name.
And never forget what happened.

"But First, This is PROMOTION On NBC"
“Today” was clearly one for hyprocisy. As usual during the first half-hour, my favorite morning program found a way to promote at least one of its shows on NBC, MSNBC or CNBC. This time, after hawking “Meet The Press” this Sunday (see below post), pretend outrage abounded about Ann Coulter’s latest on-air statement.
Interviewed on his sister network’s morning show, CNBC’s Donny Deutsch talked about how the media keep wanting to talk about her, and that’s why she won’t go away. Right. Thanks for that insight, Donny. Gee, that’s a real “Big Idea” there. He must have a good show. 🙂
“Today” LOVES having Coulter on, and will do so again. Ah, the smell of money being made so early in the morning……… 🙂
