Media Racism In The Age of Obama

A little over a week ago, a group of bikers in Texas made a splash in the headlines when they opened fire on one another in broad daylight. But a few days after the incident, the media fell silent. After all, a bunch of white guys shooting each other doesn’t add up to big ratings, and it doesn’t help to stoke the fears that drive up viewership. This is common for the corporate-controlled media.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and political commentator Chauncey DeVega discuss the media’s racism.

Thank you Ring of Fire for a frank discussion on how utterly irresponsible, racist and destructive the American Mainstream Media is. The fact that the citizenry tolerates the horrendous Fox News in America, says much about the nation. No other industrialized nation has allowed such madness to blanket their airwaves. This also goes for the right-wing AM radio stations that flood the country. Instead of the rest of alphabet Mainstream Media exposing Fox for what it is, they instead, have become like them. Right now, Mainstream Media in America is Public Enemy Number One.
