Cynthia McKinney-Rosa Clemente BET

BET and Black-out Policies

It seems as if Black Entertainment Television has become a biased tool for those that are not so fair and balanced. As this 2008 political journey comes to a close, BET has been more than callous in their efforts to dumb down the "black" consumer of their content.

As there has been no coverage of Cynthia McKinney, daughter of a "Civil Rights Activist" and former congresswoman from Georgia, this can only lead one to conclude that the "Blackout" has transcended into the "Black Market" as well.

One could search BET's website only to find minimal content on Cynthia and/or Rosa:

Posted August 25th- Despite debate and controversy over hip-hops impact on Barack Obamas presidential campaign, (vis-а-vis Ludacriss Politics [Obama Is Here]) our troops are in full support at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicking off today in Denver. Support of whom, however, is split. While Kanye West, N.E.R.D., Wyclef Jean, and John Legend (premiering his new song, If Youre Out There) are slated to perform at the actual convention and theres been a sighting of RZA and planned attendance by Russell Simmons, Dead Prez was there performing yesterday (Aug. 24) at a DNC protest/rally for Green Party presidential nominee Cynthia McKinney and her VP, Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop activist and journalist. We are the hip-hop generation, Clemente said, according to FortCollinsNow.com. We walk to the mic, speak loudly and speak clearly with a political agenda. And that agenda is freedom. For coverage of the DNC, tune into BET live from Denver tonight (Aug. 25) Thursday (Aug. 28).

Interesting how the blogs above always found the need to speak about the drama and negative the "bloodhounds", rather than political stances.


Why have we not had much coverage of Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente?
Let us work on changing this...
