Bye HATER!
Is this guy bitter or is he telling the truth?
We thought the appeal factor for his show was his dilemma and the promotion of the show was CNN’s??
That is a lie. If it is not, you can prove it right? | |

That thread was already off topic. I wasn't the first to bring up Robin or Mj. I think you need some kind of therapy. It is not that serious. You need to think about your addictive actions toward me. It is not healthy.. ......
All you do is comb through everything I write on here & try to tear it apart. Its sad & pathetic. [Edited 3/26/13 10:16am]  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"!

So I guess everyone has 4gotn when F.O.X NEWS(FASCIST OPPRESSIVE Xtremist NAZI ENTERTAINMENT WHITE STUPIDITY) was down 4 the Bush Jr. camp since 2000, then used all the tactricKKKs they could 2 help X President George Hitler Bitch Jr get re-elected in 2004. Now that President Obama got re-elected FOX NEWS does everything but talk about his mama or call him the N word. Which I am sure that will happen soon by "accident"...of course. Let's face it most AmeriK.K.Klans hate President Obama is in office and it's so simple Y when u are used 2 things being a certain way i.e. Presidents being old ass white men then of course u get a bit upset, but as I was told when Bitch Jr. got re-elected HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT 4 THE NEXT 4 YRS .....DEAL WITH IT. CNN is just doing what all networks are doing get'n rid of the "Darkness" in their lives and make their network a bit Whiter xxxcuse me I meant brighter. U are so right no Media outlet should be down 4 any specific issue,person in office, etc. it is suppose 2 be bias | |

You said it Sirnasstee...I also didnt get the line by Imago:
"And of course, with Obama, they are letting Obama get away with far, far too much due to his popularity."
I guess Obama being a SECRET Kenyan, Muslim, Anti-Christ, Hitler and all is what people REALLY mean when they say he's "Gotten away with too much"...LOL...You gotta laugh at the Right wing... | |

I don't think it's a scheme agains coloured.
I mean without jokes about women, there would be just sheer silence in the media
At least the American people voted for a black man.
And hopefully people will start to realize how and why the media is influencing their brains.
That is something Prince has been singing about for decades and I agree with him wholeheartedly.

RoRo was hired on as a Contributor. He HOPED like most Contributors that a SHOW would jump-off..Well that's the Biz & sometimes it doesnt happen when you want it to. He DID get a show BECAUSE of his Voice on CNN. TV1 came-a-calling, gave him a contract and a Salary. He PROBABLY would not have gotten that Gig if it wasnt for his MANY appearances @ CNN...He didnt say that but I'm saying it for him...
Race & Ratings do play a role all over TV and in the Media that's a life-long Factor...But he's WRONG for saying that CNN overlooked him when giving out shows when they COULD have released him from his 7yr Contributing contract years ago...
I Like Roland. I've watched his TV1 show "Washington Watch" and it's a good 1hr show and his Political Panel is Cut-throat and tell it-like-it-is....
In my opinion CNN was good to him for 7yrs and he was good for them. If CNN begins kicking off the remaining Black Anchors then we'll have to do more than scratch out heads...But for now The Network deserves to have Space & Time to revamp....
We'll be watching to see if they plan on White-Washing the entire network...Jeff Zucker made MSNBC as Diverse as a Network can get...I don't see him moving away from that type of Model now that he's with CNN.... | |

Dr. Michael Fauntroy: Stop Shedding Tears for Roland Martin by Prof. Michael Fauntroy
I got into a back-and-forth on Twitter this past weekend with someone who is a fan of soon-to-be former CNN political analyst Roland Martin. The writer took umbrage with some of my tweets regarding Martin’s departure from the network. My position? Let’s resist the urge to make Roland Martin out to be some wrongly aggrieved talking head. He is a marginally knowledgeable loudmouth who was more sizzle than steak. No academic training politics and government. No significant campaign experience. No experience as a political reporter at a major media outlet (He wrote opinion pieces at CNN). He is lucky to have had his turn. So to those who are shedding tears following the announcement of his departure from CNN: Your time would be better spent applying pressure to the cable networks to put minorities on who actually know something about politics and government.
America’s public discourse on politics and government is infested by too many people with thin or nonexistent credentials. They are on television and radio because there are either well connected, telegenic, or otherwise project the image the network wants you to see; expertise is not at the top of the list of traits. Their exposure gives them a level of popularity that legitimizes their analysis while, concurrently, inoculates them from criticism of their inanity (“they’re on X network, so they must know what they’re talking about”). While Roland Martin is the subject here, he is not the only person I’m thinking about. There are many experts on television, but in political media, those who know are almost outnumbered by those who don’t.
I wonder why we accept this. We wouldn’t listen to a science and technology analyst with no academic or employment history in the fields in which he or she is commenting. We wouldn’t listen to a Wall Street analyst with no academic training in corporate finance or employment as a stock and bond trader. We wouldn’t listen to a medical analyst with no academic medical training or employment. So why should we listen to a political analyst with a similarly thin background? We deserve better from our media. We deserve a political discourse that includes real experts, not just well practiced-talking heads.
Roland Martin is an overrated political analyst. But because there are so few political analysts of color getting serious run on cable news networks, we accepted his inane, somewhat self-promotional pundit routine (And were happy to see a brother on CNN). I hope as we continue to debate where CNN is going after reducing the role of talented people like Soledad O’Brien or not renewing Roland Martin’s contract that we also include discussions about the kinds of backgrounds we want in our political analysts. I also hope the conclusion results in our demanding more of an emphasis on expertise. We can have expertise and personality. We will all be better for it.
And if you’re interested, there is a long list of Black political scientist professors who actually know politics and government. Let me recommend a few (although I could easily give you 50 more names): Michael Leo Owens, Khalilah Brown Dean, Pearl Ford Dowe, Sekou Franklin, Wilmer Leon, Keesha Middlemass, Audra Gillespie, Mark Sawyer, Lester Spence, James Lance Taylor, and David Wilson.
I know it may not come through here, but I’m actually proud of Martin. Never before has a Black man gotten so far in political media knowing so little about politics.
Michael Fauntroy is associate professor of public policy at George Mason University.
