An 18 month study revealed that just 8% of the guest on Sunday morning political talk shows were Black.
More than 2100 interviews and Blacks appeared only 176 times. 122 of those were by puppets Rice and Powell.Black journalist Juan Williams is panel member on Fox.
Meet the Press ( 4.4 mill weekly viewers), Face the Nation ( 3mill), This Week( 3 mill), Fox Sunday ( 1.3 mill) , Late Edition (613,000) and Black people have to wait until Al Sharpten to be guest to see there reality discussed.Farakahn, Micheal Dyson, Cornel West, Tavis Smilley...etc.
9 cororations influence mainstream media: AOL-Time Warner, Disney, Bertelsman, Viacom ( owns BET), News Corporation, TCI, General Electric, Sony, Seagram. Sponsors of these companies have to be boycotted if things do not change.
Most of the black people I know are highly intelligent. If someone has an interest in being a guest on Sunday morning political talk shows, what more is required than simply offering your political knowledge and expertise?
Did the 18 month study happen to mention the number of white people who were interviewed and did not fit the criteria?
If you can find population percentages for me on how many white and black people are living in America, I may be able to juggle some facts and figures for you. While you're at it, can you also find the percentages of the number of men who outweigh the number of women in politics?
Also, if you have the time, could you please let me know which percentile the black and white performers and presenters at American music awards falls into?
This is just an assumption, but go ahead and mention to black South Africans what your take on Sunday morning "apartheid" in America is. I'm sure this is a mission they'll stand behind all the way. They may even move to America to fight for justice with you and boycott the media corporations in the name of the very important issue of talk show "discrimination".
Sorry, I really don't understand what's the topic of this thread (and I did try to make heads and tails of it), I just saw Malcolm and apartheid and my mind instantly went to New Orleans.

Look at political shows Sunday and see how many guest will be Black. Will a credible Black person be invited to explain the New orleans disaster? Credible Black people are not invited as guest on these Sunday morning political shows to explain the promblems Blacks are experiencing. Unlike me, there are Black people who can explain the promblems Blacks are having. Farakahn, Dyson, Sharpton, Jackson, Cornel West are just a few who have the skills to be frequent guest.
White men run the world, why in the world would they have a black man explaining the goings on of such an elaborate process? Really malcolm why would they?
How many times you seen a white woman on Sunday morning talk shows?
Quite frankly I am tired of looking at old bald headed or white haired men on Sunday morning talk shows who pretend to run the country.....so I go to church....that way I don't have to look at all those bald and white haired wrinkled old geezer white men.
Try that Malcolm. Go to church. That way you aren't tempted to watch all those bald headed white haired geezer white men on TV on Sunday morning.

Did you that Black Men use to run this world? Indians use to "run" this country? Scottish people "run" New York? Palestinians " run" Israel? Hitler " run" Europe? Sadaam "run" Iraq?.. etc.
Nothing is set in stone. Stop putting your head in the sand and fight! You set the tone for young people like myself.

Actually I was being very very sarcastic.
Fight who? fight what?
I first had to realize that like everyone else, I was rotting away in my own sin....and that Jesus is the only way of salvation....
not political leaders, not my stupid arrogant self, and surely not any talking heads on Sunday morning...because we are all on this sinking ship together, regardless of race, gender. And we can only make one choice in life that really matters....spiritual life and this only comes from the one who loves and died for us all.
