I ask a serious racism question

36 million of whom might vote for Obama.

 

If Fox News aired Ku Klux Klan rallies and their anchors read racist jokes on the air and hired David Duke as its lead anchor can you imagine the outcry?

Hypotheticals are fun.

 

And if you were intellectually honest, dools, you'd admit that if that were the case, there'd be a 30-page thread gleefully proclaiming how awful and racist FoxNews was.

 

Yes. That's because (all together now) Fox is supposed to be a news channel.

Show of hands. How many people have actually heard of this channel before today? It's a whole lot of nothing. Christ, who cares?

 

I've heard of it.

 

Nah, Pall, I'd would praise it for finally coming clean.

And if BET were the only source of convention coverage anywhere in the U.S., then markvid may have a basis for his chagrin.

 

Me too.

 

Doesn't matter to me if they are a news org or not.
Does MTV cover both or just one?

 

Last I heard MTV covered both and had the whole 'Rock the Vote' thing.

 

If we agree with you that it's racsim, will you shut up?

 

What does BET have to do with anything?

 

I have no idea why you're suggesting that a cable entertainment channel should cover an event (the GOP convention) that in all likelihood most of its target audience has no interest in. That would be a bad business decision.
