I need to make a list for an e-mail I need to send to NPR's new "African-American" oriented radio show "News & Notes with Ed Gordon." On todays show, they did a report on a Missing South Carolina "African-American" woman named Tamika Huston. In the News clip below, it was pointed out several times that Tamika Huston has not gotten the same MSM attention as "The Runaway Bride," what's her name (really, I don't care what her name is).
Then, in the discussion that followed (see second story below) Sylvester Monroe, editor of the Atlanta & the World section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, along with the other guest to a lesser extent, is blaming the "Lack of MSM T.V. News coverage of the Tamika Huston case, as compared to "The Runaway Bride" story to
Racism! :wow:
The "The Runaway Bride" is a "Rich White Girl," so that's why they're covering her story in the MSM...
Now I don't if the AJC's Sylvester Monroe has some sort of agenda here, or if the Black Community is just very confused by all this WH/MSM WMD (weapon of Mass Distraction) BS with the stupid "The Runaway Bride," Kobe, Lacy Peterson, etc., but I need to make a list of these Distraction stories and what they were distracting the public from (what should have been covered instead), so to include that info in my e-mail to Ed Gordon at NPR.
If you want e-mail him too, I'd welcome the help in this effort to enlighten more Americans about what a Crock of Sh*t our MSM has become. Goto this page, and don't forget to select "News & Notes with Ed Gordon" from the drop down list.
