(New York) It’s a made-for-TV face-off with a possible chance of thunder and lightning.
Mayor de Blasio and Al Roker are scheduled to go mano-a-mano on the “Today” show Monday. Hizzonor has been invited to cut the ribbon on the NBC breakfast program’s new and enhanced plaza outside its Rockefeller Center studios.
But show officials announced Sunday that a de Blasio-Roker showdown is in store. (more…)
(Via Newsbusters) In an interview with the black website TheRoot, incoming MSNBC host Joy Reid repeated the usual network mantra that “Everyone at MSNBC has a different, unique perspective,” and she hopes her new 2pm Eastern show will be a “table-setter for prime time.” Translation: whatever “War on Women” or Bridgegate segment I’m doing at 2 will be repeated at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…..by one “unique perspective” after another.
Reid claimed to lament a political climate that she says has “just become really nasty” and made civilized disagreements few and far between. It’s thanks in part to what she calls a “very virulent strain that is sort of in the underbelly of society.” It’s racism, or the right wing’s horrid tendency to counter-accuse MSNBC of racism, like the accusation is a weapon: (more…)
Just when you think the Trayvon Martin story has apex’d away from insufferable you read something blood boiling LIKE THIS MIT media research study, replete with Ryan Julison interview smarm, and the blood pressure cuff needs another replacement.
Martin’s family was able to enlist the legal services of civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump on a pro bono basis. Crump had taken on a previous civil rights case and failed to convict, which he attributed to an inadequate media strategy prior to the trial itself (Caputo, 2012). Crump brought on local lawyer Natalie Jackson, who enlisted the pro bono services of publicist Ryan Julison.
Julison’s pitch did not emphasize the racial element to the story, but underscored agreed upon facts: a neighborhood watch vigilante, who was carrying a gun, shot an unarmed teenager, and was not arrested. Julison was particularly struck by the fact that a neighborhood watch captain would be carrying a firearm with no training of any kind other than a concealed weapons permit (Julison, 2012). Our manual analysis of stories confirmed that this detail had not appeared in most of the local coverage following Martin’s death. Later, Crump, when interviewed about the case, introduced racial framing around the story as the national media began to pay attention (Boedeker and Comas, 2012). (link)
A growing national database containing school students names, addresses, test scores, learning disabilities, attendance records, disciplinary actions, extracurricular activities, vocational and technical training….

RFID Tracking chips on school ID’s. Take home laptops with GPS and spy-cam functions. And… Oh yeah, and those pesky ALPR (automatic license plate readers) are for what use again?
NEW YORK – In an unprecedented move, education officials will hand over personal student data to a new private company to create a national database for businesses that contract with public schools.
Working with the city, state education officials are already uploading private information about students — their names, addresses, test scores, learning disabilities, attendance and disciplinary records — into a $100 million database called inBloom. (more…)
The real ‘war on women’ is a war of hatred against little boys and little girls…

The mainstream media, and even law enforcement, have consistently tried to claim the race-based “Knock Out” assaults are mythical in nature.
Various manipulations of labeling have taken place with some calling the attacks “a game”, or more specifically, “the Knock Out Game“.
It is also known on the street as “polar bear hunting“, or “Cracka’ Smacks“.
This past weekend another victim died. Until we honestly confront the reality of what is taking place we cannot expect to see this trend stop. Every single one of these attacks is a black youth, a specifically intended white victim, a random punch to the face/head:
Baton Rouge, Louisiana (victim killed)
St. Cloud, Minnesota (victim killed)
New York, New York (six victims from same thug)
North Carolina – An undocumented student at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill who became a national cause célèbre in recent weeks as a candidate for student body president lost his election bid Tuesday in a landslide defeat.
UNC junior Emilio Vicente, a public policy major who was thrust into the spotlight after publicly acknowledging that he is not a U.S. citizen, lost his bid to represent the students of the public research university by a vote of 4,760 to 2,681, or 62.9 percent to 35.47 percent.
Prior to Tuesday’s election, Vicente – who describes himself as a “feminist” – had become the darling of left-leaning celebrities, earning praise and endorsements from the likes of Al Jazeera and actress Eva Longoria, for example. (more…)

DETROIT – You don’t want to mess with this mom! – A Detroit woman surprised a trio of armed teen thugs when they came to try and rob her house.
Instead of sitting back and watching them steal her stuff, she locked and loaded a rifle — and then fired it as she chased them back outside. The dramatic incident was caught on surveillance camera.
Footage shows the three teens trying to kick down her front door. But, as they start to make their way inside, the woman pops up with a gun. She starts firing to try and scare them off, and they all run away.
One of the boys, armed with a handgun, tries his luck again and rushes the door. But he soon scuttles off again after hearing bullets being fired in his direction. (more…)
