perhaps i'm being oversensitive, but i wouldn't, while showing black people who suffered from the hurricane, play a song in the background that contains lyrics like "my master's in the yard," even if does go, "i am overcome ... water in my lungs." the "master" part is a verse and could have easily been skipped. given "so poor, so black" and "refugees," they should be a little more careful w/ these things. |
my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour. links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias: the fair & balanced: the left: the right: *that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.    |
