CNN May Ax Piers Morgan!

CNN is planning on bumping Piers Morgan off the primetime slot.

The struggling cable news network is getting ready to put its hammer on British tabloid journalist Piers Morgan.

After three years on air, CNN is getting rid of Piers Morgan Tonight tells David Carr of the New York Times.

Morgan took over Larry King's 9PM timeslot in 2011. Morgan's ratings were consistently low.

CNN sources confirmed the news to Politico.

As Carr points out, Morgan's contract is up in September. There's no word on whether he'll get another show or not.

“It’s been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings,” Morgan told Carr. "I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it."

The most memorable moments of Piers Morgan is the debate between extremist Alex Jones and him over the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy. Jones wanted Morgan deported for his stance on gun control.

Morgan also had Rachel Jeantel on his program before and after the verdict in the controversial George Zimmerman trial. The racist right was attacking Jeantel for being a big Black woman who had that "attitude".

Al Jazeera America: [We're] Not Fox Or MSNBC!



Tuesday launches the newest player in the cable news agitating industry. Al Jazeera America is coming to the households of 40 million viewers.

It's a start, right?

Okay, we all know that the country's most ignorant minds won't see this network as award winning journalism. These individuals will see this network as the voice of terrorism and Islamic extremism.

But Al Jazeera America is dismissing that notion. The network is promising that it's news programs will cover issues that the three cable news agitators refuse to talk about.

They make it clear that they're will be no junk food media stories.

Ali Velshi, David Schuster, Sheila MacVicar and even legendary anchor Soledad O'Brien have joined the network.

Time Warner, the nation's largest cable provider has threatened to not put Al Jazeera on the lineup.

They fear the potential of a backlash or the possibility of competing with CNN, a product of Time Warner.

In my honest opinion, I think it's a great way to get the news agitators thinking. Al Jazeera is a network that has straight news and award winning documentaries in a market that lavishes on controversy. Sometimes having controversy is a good thing especially if you're a network that gives both sides to an issue.

I expect the folks over at CNN, Loserville and Obama News will have something to say about the network!

If given the opportunity, I'll watch it!

What's you're thought on it?

Taaffe Time!

The "friend" of acquitted shooter George Zimmerman is chatting with White extremists. He surely acts like one!

The controversial verdict in Sanford, Florida has opened up a major divide among the Black and White race.

The U.S. Justice Department is looking into the case.

Many Whites (especially conservative minded individuals) felt that the acquitted shooter George Zimmerman was in the right when decided to pull the trigger killing of Trayvon Martin. They believe that President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, and Attorney General Eric Holder rushed to judgement. They believe that these men had no business turning this situation into a "race event".

Many Whites (especially conservative minded individuals) believe that Trayvon Martin was the aggressor.

Even though, Zimmerman was told not to follow Martin, Whites (especially conservative minded individuals) believe that Martin was first to attack the acquitted shooter.

Whites (especially conservative minded individuals) believe in the talking points that Rachel Jeantel lied under oath, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin are money hungry whores, Trayvon Martin pounded Zimmerman's head to the ground MMA-style, and this whole ordeal isn't about race.

Some of the most controversial figures in the defense of Zimmerman have a history.

Besides That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka That Scumbag On Loserville), there's Ted Nugent.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win was the first to get the talking points and interview with Zimmerman.

Nugent was going to conservative blogs to call Trayvon Martin, a "dope smoking wannabe gangsta" who got "justice" at the taste of a gun!

We haven't forgotten about his dad and brother. Robert Zimmerman, Sr. and Robert, Jr. have been on the speaking tour as of lately. Robert, Jr. was on the social networks making some racially tingling statements about Black youths and crime. Robert, Sr. has written a book on the case and he slams the NAACP, the family of Trayvon Martin and the liberal media for painting his son as the "devil".
Frank Taaffe may have influenced the mindset of George Zimmerman, the acquitted shooter of Trayvon Martin.
This character today was missed by the liberal agitators. This character appeared over 40 times on HLN (Headline News) has said some outrageous things while on Dr. Drew On Call. He gets into a bout with these Black extremists named Shahrazad Ali and Crystal Wright.

Even on social networks he's been a truly condescending asshole.

This character was featured on CNN, Loserville, Obama News and other outlets. He's been promoting himself as the "unofficial spokesperson" of George Zimmerman.

He said some pretty racially-charged statements about Trayvon Martin, his family and the Black community in general.

How could we have missed this?

There's nothing worse than hearing this Frank Taafee character. He's a product of these White extremists.

This knucklehead has been on the television calling Trayvon Martin a "hoodlum" and Rachel Jeantel "Precious".

Mother Jones got a bombshell out there. They write that this man was arrested for driving under the influence. This man was also a feature on a white extremist podcast.

Now it's clear that Taaffe's statements may have gave the theory that Zimmerman may have "racially profiled" Trayvon Martin.

How could we not have seen this coming?

Mother Jones also noted that Taaffe isn't the first member of Zimmerman's circle to be caught making racially charged statements. In March, Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr. (another outspoken defender), tweeted a photo of a black Georgia teenager who allegedly murdered a one-year-old boy with a gunshot to the face, alongside a picture of Trayvon Martin. Both teens were flipping off the camera. The caption read, "A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?"

CNN and its sister network, HLN, have repeatedly invited Taaffe to weigh in on legal and technical aspects of the Zimmerman case, from the implications of witness testimony to the meaning of forensic evidence, such as the grass stains found on Martin's pants.

Taaffe sparred on-air with attorneys about the finer points of criminal law and tangled with forensic experts—including Lawrence Kobilinsky, the chair of the science department at John Jay College of Criminal Justice—over whether the small quantity of THC in Martin's blood could have made him violent. (Taaffe insisted that it could; Kobilinsky called this argument a "red herring.")


Past interview with Soledad O'Brien. Yahoo News obtains a portion of the transcripts of the interview between Soledad O'Brien and this asshole.

The asshole said to her that: "[My house] was being robbed, and George on his nightly rounds watched this burglary in progress, called Sanford P.D., waited for them, and helped ensure that nothing bad happened to my house," Taaffe said. "And it's documented in the 911 call for February 2.  That was my residence that George Zimmerman helped stop." Zimmerman shot and killed Martin on Feb. 26.

"Neighbor-hood, that's a great word," Taaffe said.

Taaffe said that "young black males" were the perpetrators in the attempted robbery of his home. "We had eight burglaries in our neighborhood all perpetrated by young black males in the 15 months prior to Trayvon being shot," Taaffe said. "It would have been nine."

Taaffe denied that he told the New York Times that burglaries were done by "Trayvon-like dudes with their pants down."

"I never said that," he said. "I never used that term."

But on CNN, Taaffe followed up the denial of an incendiary comment with another one.

When asked if, based on the string of robberies, Zimmerman should have been profiling Trayvon Martin the night of the shooting, Taaffe said: "There's an old saying, 'If you plant corn, you get corn,'"

"It is what it is," he added. "I would go on record by stating that of the eight prior burglaries in the 15 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting, all of the perpetrators were young black males."'

Man, how could we have missed this one?

I'm still pounding my head into the concrete.

No pun intended.

Megyn Kelly In, Greta Van Susteren Out!

Loserville gives Megyn Kelly a primetime slot.

Loserville turdporter turns 43 this year and she's going have a big present handed to her. She'll be on the primetime stable with the likes of Bill-O and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

That assures that the primetime stable's anchor is likely leaving. I heard talk she'll be jumping back to her old home at CNN soon. I mean who would of thought that the deck chairs are moving around so fast.

Greta The Ambulance Chaser has covered everything from The Palin Da Ass, Natalee Holloway, Anna Nicole Smith, and the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.

She denies she's getting the boot. But you know when you're denying the inevitable, it's likely evitable.

Once Megyn Kelly comes back from her maternity leave, she'll return to continue the ongoing hostile coverage of President Barack Obama and his allies in the progressive movement.

Is it the end of the road for Greta?
Besides being a blonde bombshell and another leggy conservative agitator, Roger Ailes promotes this woman to hold a torch. Delivering to the millions of misinformed views and likely Republican voters stuff that would clearly be irrational.

“Megyn [Kelly] is an exceptional talent who has successfully filled and surpassed each role we have given her at the network,” Loserville chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said in a statement.


“Her ability to command the screen, delve into the facts and lead a debate is what makes her one of the most sought-after anchors in the business.”

To hold the 10pm slot is a risky spot for the blonde conservative agitator. She'll compete with liberal agitator/actor Lawrence O'Donnell and the repeat of Anderson Cooper until the struggling network finds a suitable program host.

Although, I don't give two farts about this woman, that network and the constant agitation this network does to President Barack Obama, it's no surprise that the network gave her a chance to excel.

Howard Kurtz leaving CNN by the end of the month. Soledad O'Brien joins Al Jazeera. Ed Schultz demoted to weekends.

Man, I am not going to be having cable anytime soon. I'll just get it off the internet and SiriusXM until they screw that up.

From this point, I will acknowledge Megyn Kelly as "Megyn The Ambulance Chaser".

Former Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton spars with Megyn The Ambulance Chaser.

Soledad O'Brien Joins Al-Jazeera!

Veteran reporter joins Al Jazeera America.

It seems like veteran reporter Soledad O'Brien has departed from CNN.

It appears that she's moving to the Al Jazeera America. In a surprising move, the network has announced that it's signing on her and Ali Velshi to the roster.

The network is based out of Qatar and it's coverage is worldwide. Now in the United States, the network will move into a market saturated with political warfare from the likes of CNN, Loserville and Obama News.

Al Jazeera is probably more qualified in coverage of international affairs. It doesn't give the one sided story of "good vs. evil" as those America cable networks spin news out to be.

It's pretty controversial. The turdporters over at Loserville were decrying Al Jazeera as propaganda arm of terrorism.

But it's likely going to make real journalist work harder for their awards. Never seen a

It replaces liberal network Current TV. The Current TV network was started by former vice president Al Gore. The former politico wanted to compete with cable agitators by establishing a "progressive themed network" with talents that are free to express opinion unfiltered. It leaves the liberal agitators Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, John Fugelsang, and Joy Baher in limbo.

Former governors Jennifer Granholm and Eliot Spitzer departed from the network earlier this year.

They've fired Keith Olbermann in 2012. Olbermann was fired from Obama News a few years back.

Deadline confirms that the 46-year old reporter is joining the network. as “special correspondent.”

O'Brien’s production company, Starfish Media Group will produce hourlong documentary specials for the cable network. “I look forward to beginning a relationship with Al Jazeera America, which has made a commitment to producing quality programming and pursuing underreported stories,” O’Brien said in the announcement, confirming speculation that started last week. As a correspondent, O’Brien will contribute short-form segments to the primetime current affairs mag America Tonight on the new network, which is funded by the government of Qatar.

O'Brien stepped down from CNN in March when network chief Jeff Zucker scrubbed her program Starting Point; he gave the time slot to Chris Cuomo's New Day. At the time she left CNN, she formed Starfish Media, which, in addition to the production deal with Al Jazeera America, now also has a production deal with CNN, and development deals at HBO and National Geographic Channel.

Don't worry people, Soledad O'Brien still does Black In America and Latino In America for CNN.

Al Jazeera America launches in August.

Howard Kurtz Joins Loserville!

Longtime media critic joins Loserville. Expect him to attack the media for being in the tank for President Barack Obama and many numerous talking points generated from the Republican Party. Loserville is an extremely conservative network that openly advocates subliminal messages and dog whistle politics to paint President Barack Obama in a negative light. A viewer of that network is likely to think of the president as being some perceived fear.

The hits keep coming and media boss Jeff Zucker couldn't stomach anymore of Howard Kurtz antics.

The longtime CNN (aka Last News Network) is out. He's joining his peeps over at Loserville.

Put your tin foil hats on, you may see Kurtz on Loserville Watch, a weekend show that covers the latest political bias in the news.

Yeah, I'm right.

Mediaite first reported the news, and an official release from the network soon followed. Kurtz will anchor a new version of the network's weekend media show.

Presumably, it will look a lot like "Reliable Sources," the weekend media program he currently hosts.

"I'm excited to be bringing my independent brand of media criticism to [the network that constantly bashes President Barack Obama]," Kurtz said in a statement.

Before his arrival at Loserville, we want to take time to recap the Kurtz saga.

After being send his walking papers from The Washington Post, Kurtz went over to Tina Brown's The Daily Beast.

The Beast is a blog that merged with Newsweek magazine and has the talents of Brown, Kristen Powers and Meghan McCain.

Kristen Powers is a token liberal on Loserville. Meghan McCain is a token conservative on MSNBC (aka Obama News).

Brown sent Kurtz his pink slip after he caused a major screw up in his writings. He claimed NBA player Jason Collins wasn't involved in any relationships with women during his "coming out" party of last month.

Kurtz had to backtrack his story after it was revealed that Collins was engaged to his college sweetheart before he acknowledged he was a gay man.

Now without a home, he worked on his side project called The Daily Download. This a website that contributes to the constant drumbeat of conservative talking points.

Kurtz was walking on egg shells after the media dismissed him as a wonk reporter. He knew that his boss Zucker didn't want to look like Loserville. The ax had to fall and Kurtz was on the chopping block.

Kurtz will reprise his role as a media critic.

Kurtz constantly would slammed his new home for partisan media coverage. Now joining this network almost assures that he'll be likely the guy who claim that his old home is in the tank for the president. He'll take more time to bash his competitors over at Obama News for taking on stories that paint Republicans as the idiots they're known to be.

Joining Roger's house means discipline. The network takes pride in being the only network that carries the most anti-Obama stories ever to hit the television. Where there's no controversy, Loserville host and commentators will create one.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) are welcomed with open arms on Loserville.

Almost never you'll see Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Florida, Democratic Chairwoman), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader), Senator Al Franken (D-Minnesota), President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden ever make any appearance on Loserville.

They all know they'll never get a fair shake over there and it's not worth their time to give a bunch of assholes the opportunity to hear them out. They already know they're not going to vote for them or support their policies.

Anyways, Kurtz will be on the network that continues to annoy the hell out of President Barack Obama.

Since Loserville is interested in credibility and regular Obama bashers, they should grab that leaker Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and that washed up celebrity Victoria Jackson. They'll make wonderful Loserville commentators.

Roland Martin Fired From CNN And He Fires Back!

CNN axes Black liberal agitator Roland Martin. He launches an attack on the network and the boss Jeff Zucker.

They let the door hit him on the way out. Now firing back at his former employers, Roland Martin launches into a tirade about the direction of CNN under Jeff Zucker.

On the Huffington Post Live section with host, Dr. Mark Lamont Hill (Columbia University professor and Fox News and Black Enterprise: Our World contributor), Martin lays it down!

He said that his dismissal from the network was not only an insult to the viewers, but to the many Black journalists and professionals who contributed to making the network a global leader.

Unfortunately in Jeff Zucker's vision: Business is business!

The old guard had to go. There's no need to have James Carville and Mary Matalin. There's no purpose to keep Erick Erickson. There's no purpose to keep you Roland. You guys were not on the agenda. He had to get rid of you.

He plucked Jake Tapper, Chris Cuomo, and is hoping to grab Ann Curry. He wants to build a network that would make founder Ted Turner proud. He wants CNN to return back to the news and not the spin as MSNBC and Fox News promote.

If you don't have the magic like Anderson Cooper, Robin Meade, Piers Morgan, Brooke Baldwin, Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, and Howard Kurtz, you're not going to be there much longer.

Martin criticized CNN executives, whom he described as “largely white male,” for not being comfortable with the idea of “having strong, confident minorities” in more prominent positions on the network.

“There’s still this fear, there’s this fear of actually making a leap… you have largely white male executives, okay, who are not necessarily enamored with the idea of having strong, confident minorities who say, ‘I can do this’… We deliver, but we never get the big piece, the larger salary, to be able to grow from there.”

Letting go of Soledad O'Brien was a mistake though. She was one of the most credible journalist on the network. Despite the conservative outrage over her interviews with Republicans and conservative agitators.

Soledad O'Brien Signs Off!

CNN anchor is signing off her program.

Thank you Soledad O'Brien for being there for all journalist of color.

Today ends her morning program Starting Point. Soledad O'Brien will continue to work with CNN for the time being. But her replacement will be Chris Cuomo and he'll begin his new program on Monday.

Well wishes to Soledad O'Brien from Journal de la Reyna.

CNN Acting Like Fox News!

Letting that perennial loser Mitt Romney act a fool and now Steubenville! Candy Crowley: What's going on with you?

The Steubenville rape trial has concluded and the teenagers Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond will spend a portion of their lives in the juvenile iron college. At least until their twenties.

The Ohio rust town became the center of a national scandal that involved rape and cover up by local officials.

It got mainstream coverage after the hackivist group Anonymous hacked into the suspect's social networks.

The two star high school football standouts were charged with delinquent rape and were sentenced to the juvenile iron college.

Fredricka Whitfield
Hopefully, the victim will move forward with her life. This incident tore the rust belt city best known for its star high school football team.

CNN was once the most respected news organization in America. It's so lagging in ratings, the network has to revamp its image or face certain disconnect. The new president Jeff Zucker is cleaning house. He's getting rid of the old guard and replacing it with fresh faces. Some are coming from ABC, NBC and CBS.

The old guard are certain to fly right or get the papers.

Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow and Fredricka Whitfield, you better get in line or else you're getting the pink slip.

The controversy brewed up with the CNN anchors throwing their sympathies to the convicted teens.

When Candy Crowley went to covering the breaking news on the verdict she made the comments that attracted the ire of the media watchdogs.

The New York Observer reports that  Candy Crowley and Poppy Harlow spent their segment exploring the effect the conviction would have on the "star football players, very good students," now that their "promising futures," as Harlow put it, will involve a stint in juvenile hall and a lifetime as registered sex offenders.

Let's remind these women that the teens "RAPED" a drunk teenager. The teenager didn't had to be sexually assaulted by these guys. Whether she was drunk or not, they took advantage of her.

Her life will never be the same. Why are we blaming the victim?

What makes it's so bad, her former friends have turned on her!

Two former friends threatened her online and they'll be facing the judge shortly.

State attorney general Mike DeWine warns that this is far from over. That "NO SNITCHIN'" stuff ain't going to fly with him. He will pursue other charges against teenagers who refused to assist in the case.

Poppy Harlow
Also what this attracts is conservative ire and White supremacists. The fact that one of the accused is Black and the young girl is white will certainly rile these extremists up! 

This would lit up their forums with ugly racial slurs, word vomits about Black on White crime, and of course an Obama name drop! This will be a reason for these extremists to paint Blacks as sex crazed NIGGERS who voted for that MUSLIM SOCIALIST WHO DISGRACED THIS COUNTRY with his GUBMINT GIVEAWAYS. 

The conservative/white supremacist bubble will name drop Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Trayvon Martin in their word vomits. 

White supremacists already label Black people as "animals", who obsess with their women.

Despite this incident, I think they've should have been charged as adults. They should have been found in adult court for this incident.




Thousands of women, young and old are brutalized in rape. And to make this clear, this is human rights abuse that continues to spread. I haven't posted about the incident in India. A woman was gang raped and murdered by ten men. One of the main attackers was awaiting trial. While in custody, he committed suicide.


We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to the victim of this tragedy. No one should be brutalized by anyone.

In other words, I say "RAPE IS RAPE".

Please let the Republican Party and its conservative allies understand that!

Is CNN's Soledad O'Brien On Her Way Out?



Numerous outlets are reporting that veteran CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien is on the chopping block.

The era of Jeff Zucker begins.

The former NBC executive became the president of the struggling cable news network. His first mission is to clean house. As president of CNN, Zucker made it clear that he wants CNN to be on top. With his network struggling in ratings, he's finding the old guard isn't feasible, so he's letting go of the familiar faces.

In the early months, Zucker canned John King, James Carville, Bill Bennett, Mary Matlin, and Erick Erickson. He hired former ABC reporters Jake Tapper, Chris Cuomo and is gunning for Ann Curry (once NBC lets her go)!

With this new vision, some heads will roll. Erin Burnett's primetime program canceled. He wants to put her in the morning spot. So that was done and it left Soledad O'Brien without a spot.

So what's left for her?

The possibility of quitting the network she's been on for nearly 8 years.

The New York Post reports Soledad O’Brien is on her way out at CNN as new boss Jeff Zucker moves Erin Burnett into her morning slot.

We’re told award-winning journalist O’Brien has indicated she is ready to leave after she was initially promised a plum prime-time slot, but that role has so far failed to materialize.

A source tells us: “The deal to move Erin to the morning alongside Chris Cuomo is basically done. Soledad had been told she’d get a prime-time slot, but that hasn’t yet happened, and now she is telling friends she is likely to leave.”

The source added, “Soledad is talented at producing in-depth, serious pieces of journalism, and is a tough interviewer. That doesn’t seem to fit the direction the network is going.”

Another source added, “Soledad is a big star, and would only stay for the right show. There’s word there will be a flurry of announcements at CNN very soon, including Erin’s move to the morning.”

O’Brien jumped from NBC to CNN in 2003, anchoring “American Morning,” and then moved on to anchoring specials. She’s anchored the current morning show, “Starting Point,” since January of last year.

She said in a recent interview that she was sure she would not be hosting a lighter morning show once Zucker, her former boss at NBC, took the reins. “I’m fairly confident that I’m not going to be cooking salmon and doing fashion shows on CNN,” she told the Times.

She added, “Listen, I have been doing this gig for a while. People go crazy with speculation every time there’s a shift in leadership. I can’t comment on every rumor, but so far I’ve read reports on me, Anderson [Cooper], Piers [Morgan], Ann Curry and Erin Burnett, and all that’s clear to me is that somebody’s busy dialing Page Six.”

Soledad, who fronted documentaries “Black in America” and “Latino in America,” was a favorite of former CNN Worldwide president Jim Walton, who stepped down at the end of last year. A CNN rep said, “We don’t comment on speculation.”

Fox News Serves Dick Morris His Walking Papers!


And to be quite frankly, he deserved to get fired from Fox News. After all, who would want the worst political pundit in the history of the United States?

Oh, wait he's appearing on CNN!

Isn't this a joke?

They bump off Soledad O'Brien, an actual reporter and replace her with the prostitute toe sucker who promised President Barack Obama would lose in a landslide election against perennial loser Mitt Romney!

Why conservative agitator Dick Morris was fired from Fox News?

Network spokeswoman Dana Klinghoffer said Tuesday that Fox wasn't renewing its contract with Morris, who was steadfast throughout the campaign in his prediction of a big Romney win over President Barack Obama. He has made few appearances on Fox since the election.

Morris had also been criticized for accepting paid advertisements on his website from candidates that he discussed on the air at Fox.

Please bury this person in the sand because he's washed up!

This year Fox News canned former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin and renewed Karl Rove's contract.

Karl Rove is at odds with conservatives. Rove decided to create a SuperPac to fight against Republicans who may be too extreme. Rove hasn't made many friends in the conservative media. Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and conservative agitators on radio have went hard on the former Bush adviser.

The moderate Republicans warn that if conservative overreach continues, they'll be defeated again in the next presidential election.

President Barack Obama warned Republicans that if they continue to take marching orders from Rush Limbaugh, the National Rifle Association and Fox News, they'll be doomed for failure.

Iowa Republican Senator: Urban Crimes Reminds Me Of Black Killing Blacks!

Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa runs his mouth! He doesn't look at urban gun crime as a problem! 

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is a conservative Republican. He's not as nutty as his governor Republican Terry Branstad or Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), but Grassley is one with them!

In Grassley's warped mind, the notion of bringing up gun control when incidents involving firearms reached an all time high this month alone is an assault on the Second Amendment.

Soledad O'Brien debates Grassley.
Tell me, Republicans how many of your freedoms were lost under President Barack Obama?

How many amendments are in the U.S. Constitution?

Grassley with a majority of Republicans are going against the president's proposals to stop gun violence.

An overwhelming majority of Americans would like to see strict background checks and ways to prevent those with mental issues to own firearms.

But that's tone deaf to the Republicans, the National Rifle Association and those in the conservative media.

The nation's oldest cable network CNN is going through a major shakeup! This will soon put Soledad O'Brien on the sidelines. With Jeff Zucker at the helm of CNN, the network will go through a major overhaul of reporters, media personalities and network programming.

In the meantime, Soledad continues to bring the facts to the table and have Republicans and their conservative allies screaming!

Soledad reads from the Centers for Disease Controls report that links youth culture and gun violence and the Iowa senator didn't want none of that.

Also in mention to Hadiya Pendleton's tragic murder this week, Soledad mentions the issue about gun violence in Chicago.

Grassley stated: “Well, I think that’s the place in our society where you would study the issue of black violence on blacks.”

Now again, we got to look at how WHITE CONSERVATIVE MEN think!

They think with this macho bravado of how the United States is always "leading the world!"

They consider themselves the vocal opposition to gun control, Obamacare, immigration, gay rights, urban revival, women's rights, and climate change. Things that paint them more like a bunch of idiots and bigots instead of serious people.

Most of these recent violent incidents happened because of *gasp* WHITE MEN!

They use this phony patriotism to harbor single minded issues like the unanimous support of Israel. They'll go totally batshit over a critic of the Jewish nation, but in turn attack the president! They never think that attacking President Barack Obama is anti-American. This constant hate of Blacks, Latinos and Muslims led to multiple incidents that involved young men and women being killed by WHITE CONSERVATIVE men.

This incident in Chicago as well as many urban communities across the nation are looked upon the conservative media as "failed Democrat policies and President Barack Obama's sons and daughters!"

Instead of pointing out the issues with gun violence they'll scapegoat this as "black on black violence" or the faults of the entertainment industry (i.e. video games, rap music and movies). Stuff they've seen on the late local news.

Sure enough if this incident made it to the suburban school, church or business, then you'll hear non-stop coverage on the major news networks with each political agitator pointing fingers at one another.

(NOTE: Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) is retiring and it's going to be a competitive senate race in 2014).

CNN Cleans House!


Jeff Zucker is cleaning house over at CNN headquarters. The nation's first cable news network is trailing behind the partisan rancor of MSNBC and Fox News.

It's up to Zucker to save the network from demise.

American cable news has gotten too controversial. If you're not shouting at one another or making an enemy out of the opposition, you're not getting the ratings.

Soledad O'Brien loses her morning spot. Erin Burnett will take the helm of the morning.

Jeff Zucker brought on Jake Tapper and Chris Coumo. They both bounced off ABC to join CNN.

Jeff Zucker is cleaning house.
The married political couple Mary Matalin and James Carville are sent their walking papers. They've been longtime fixtures since the days of CNN's old show Crossfire.

Conservative blogger and founder of RedState Erick Erickson is gone. He's has no immediate plans to run for the seat of retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia). He may join Fox News.

The old fixtures Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Howard Kurtz and Candy Crowley are still up in the air.

The Daily Beast reports the huge shakeup.

Zucker launched his makeover Tuesday by announcing the imminent arrival of ABC News anchor Chris Cuomo to take over the troubled 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. slot currently occupied by Soledad O’Brien. According to network sources, Cuomo, who was said to be unhappy at ABC’s 20/20 since being passed over in 2009 for the top job at Good Morning America, will be joined in the morning by the current anchor of CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, leaving a hole for Zucker to fill at 7 p.m.

CNN veteran O’Brien’s fate is up in the air, though it’s probable she’ll receive a plum assignment. “Soledad is very important to the network and we are discussing various options with her,” a CNN spokeswoman said in a terse statement.

That sort of decisive leadership is exactly what Zucker was hired to bring by Time Warner chief executive Jeffrey Bewkes, who lured the former chairman of NBC Universal from his perch running Katie Couric’s syndicated daytime show.

The 47-year-old Zucker started his first official day of work at CNN Jan. 21 by kibitzing in the Washington control room of the outlet’s live presidential inaugural coverage. He was, by most accounts, on his best behavior, mostly observing instead of ordering camera shots punctuated by shouted obscenities—his M.O. two decades ago when he was the precocious, wildly successful executive producer of NBC’s Today program.
Gone from the network they've called home, Republican Mary Matalin and Democrat James Carville. They've been a married political couple and two longtime fixtures on CNN.
The previous week at a town meeting in New York for 600 CNN employees, Zucker made it clear that one of his top priorities would be trying to fix the cable outlet’s troubled morning program, and Tuesday, he was as good as his word. Among other programming changes, former ABC White House correspondent Jake Tapper is expected to anchor the 4 p.m. slot, appropriating an hour from The Situation Room's Wolf Blitzer, and former ESPN personality Rachel Nichols will preside over a weekend sports show.

Meanwhile, attendees of Tuesday’s regular 10 a.m. news meeting on the fifth floor of the Time Warner Center found the bald-pated Zucker sitting in the captain’s chair normally occupied by CNN Managing Editor Mark Whitaker, who’d announced his resignation a couple of hours earlier.

Soledad O'Brien loses morning show.
“We have a new leader with his own forceful ideas about where to take CNN’s reporting, programming, and brand,” Whitaker wrote in a lengthy memo explaining his departure, which he and Zucker have been discussing for the past few weeks. “For him to succeed, I believe he deserves his own team and management structure and the freedom to communicate one clear vision to the staff.”

Whitaker, a former editor of Newsweek, had been part of a management triumvirate that included CNN/US President Ken Jautz, based in New York and in charge of programming, and CNN International’s Atlanta-based vice president Tony Maddox, who runs news operations. The arrangement, by many accounts, fostered conflict and confusion, with no clear lines of authority—a problem immediately solved by Zucker’s decision to run the 10 a.m. meeting for the foreseeable future. More executive departures and arrivals are in the offing, CNN insiders predicted, and Zucker will likely recruit such longtime loyalists as Michael Bass, a member of Team Zucker at NBC and currently co-executive producer of Katie.

Meanwhile, CNN’s relationship with political contributor Erick Erickson, the major domo of the right wing Red State blog, has also ended; he's jumping to Fox News. Zucker also said goodbye after 11 years to James Carville and Mary Matalin.

“It makes perfect sense to me,” said Carville, who, in a friendly phone conversation 10 days ago with Zucker, was told that CNN’s pundits will be on-camera in studios in Washington and New York instead of from remote locations like Carville and Matalin’s  New Orleans. “It’s kind of the Fox Five model," Carville said, noting that he is plenty busy with speeches and international and corporate consulting. "I’m not surprised he wants to bring in his own people. I think he has every right to.”

Some years ago, Jeff Zucker became a controversial figure in the comedy feud between Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno. When Jay Leno "retired" from The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien became the new host. But when ratings started to sink, Zucker demanded that Jay Leno to return back to the show. That caused a major feud between O'Brien and Leno. The Tonight Show went back to Leno and O'Brien went to TBS to host his show on weeknights.

O'Brien got the support of David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel. Letterman and Kimmel continue a longstanding feud with Leno. It spawns back to when Johnny Carson retirement and NBC pushing Leno over Letterman. Letterman was hoping he'll host The Tonight Show but was passed over. Letterman left for CBS to host The Late Show. Jimmy Kimmel went on to host his show around the time at 11:35pm to compete with Letterman and Leno after his ratings improved.

It Was Bound To Happen: Rapper's Reality Show Agitated Right Wing Media!

The Million Dollar Controversy Man!


Shawty Lo, the 36 year old rapper from Atlanta, Georgia  is snapping his fingers and rolling his camera on his HUGE family. The rapper's reality show All My Baby's Mamas which is a feature on the Oxygen Network is driving outrage from Civil Rights groups and of course practically begged the conservative and White supremacy bubble to rant about it.

Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, and numerous other agitators in the conservative media are fumed up over the rapper's television special being aired on the network.

The rapper fathered 11 children by ten women and he's proud to have them! But since he's strapped on cash and probably facing legal issues, Shawty Lo wants a controversy! So what does he do?
Shawty Lo appears with T.I. at a concert. The rappers are putting their families in the spotlight with reality television shows based loosely on their lives. 
Put his HUGE family on the television!

It was bound to happen! I knew the WHITE EXTREMISTS would rush to either their local racist waterhole! They'll listen to Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Neal Boortz, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity for outrage. They'll go online to conservative agitating blogs,The Drudge Report, The Blaze and The Daily Caller to toss a word salad of racial slurs and anti-Obama rhetoric.

I knew the Civil Right groups would rush to The Huffington Post, Bossip, SOHH, ThisIs50, WorldStarHipHop and AllHipHop for the news.

What these people failed to realize about this controversy: It's assured somebody's gonna watch it! You keep on mentioning it!

Jersey Shore, Buckwild, The Real World, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, TI and Tiny: The Family Hustle, Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, The Apprentice, and American Idol are television shows that promote controversy.
Still bitchin' about President Barack Obama beating that perennial loser Mitt Romney, Sean Hannity and Neal Boortz now waste their time finding outrage with Black entertainers who create controversy. They now automatically assume that any Black entertainer who drives controversy is an example of an Obama voter!
So what! Not a huge freaking deal?

These individuals are entitled to shame Shawty Lo (born Carlos Walker). I find no care for it! It's reality television, it's supposed to be chalk full of controversy.

They find it outrage with it because they think liberals promote racism. They figured out since this rapper has "baby mamas" he's automatically an Obama supporter who supports the GUBMINT.

They didn't complain when Jon and Kate Gosselin had promoted their children in the spotlight.

They didn't complain when Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar promoted their 20 children and 2 grandchildren.

They didn't complain too much about Mike and June Thompson promoting their daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" for the cameras.

They didn't complain because these people are Republicans.

They complain about The Kardashians, Jersey Shore and Buckwild because these people are young, vibrant and likely liberal supporters of Barack Obama.

But since he's a rapper and the hip-hop slang for "baby mama" was used: Sound the alarms, proof there is such a thing as "liberal racism"!

Shawty Lo and his children.
Shawty Lo also can celebrate this. It helps him generate buzz for his albums and concerts.

The rapper is a former member of the hip-hop group D4L. The group was known for the song "Laffy Taffy" and "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me!" The rapper also released a solo album. The single "Dunn Dunn" and "Dey Know" helped created a buzz for the rapper. Shawty Lo is affiliated with 50 Cent's G-Unit by association. The rapper is signed to Asylum Records, a Warner Music Group company.

Shawty Lo had a minor feud with T.I. (born Clifford Harris) in 2009. They since ended their feud.

T.I. has his own reality television show and his wive Tameka Cottle-Harris has previously hosted a reality show with Lil' Wayne's former wife Toya Cater.

Since people like Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, Bill O'Reilly Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin and others on television rambling on about Black racism, they'll end riling up Black voters and in turn spark another high turnout against Republicans.

By the way, I stated this before! Rachel Maddow will surpass Sean Hannity in ratings in late 2013. People are getting tired of the right wing carnival. Sean Hannity's ratings are pummeling fast. This is the latest reason for people to change the channel. A middle aged man worrying his ass off about reality television.

Hey Hannity! It's all fake! It's nothing but a ruse to generate ratings! Just like your Fox News program!

This video coming from NewsNinja2012 has the conservative agitator debating phony liberal Tamera Holder and Black extremist Deneen Borelli over the reality show and the phony outrage about it. I bet you that Hannity drops President Barack Obama's name in the segment.

Soledad O'Brien Bouts With Semi-Racist Right Wing Agitator!


The Republican former governor Mitt Romney has sent his staffers out on the media circuit dismissing the president's strong showing at their second debate. CNN anchor Candy Crowley got most of the flack from conservative agitators in the media.

The Republicans are scolding the media handling of how Crowley injected facts deflating his argument. The Republicans are hasty over this controversy involving the timeline in the Libyan attacks.

The political agitators in the media have been debating over how this incident occurred. They can't get over how President Barack Obama's claimed an anti-Islamic movie caused the tragedy. The media can't understand why Mitt Romney licked his chops when the U.S. embassy in Egypt sent a cable seeking calm in the potential of a threat!

Soledad O'Brien comes back to CNN as the lead anchor of Starting Point. It's been over five years since her days hosting American Morning. CNN is going through some major overhauls since the longtime cable network is suffering in the ratings against hyperpartisan competitors Fox News and MSNBC.

CNN is trying to come off as independent. They don't want to be perceived as too liberal or too conservative. But to much of those who agitate political sides, it wouldn't matter anyway, CNN is hammered for its coverage of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

O'Brien talks to the controversial former Republican governor of New Hampshire John Sununu. The former governor came under fire when he made a comment about the president being on drugs and lazy. As a representative to Republican nominee, Sununu has been a lightening rod. His comments come off as borderline racist. And once again, Soledad O'Brien interviews him.

Former governor John Sununu says some of the most nastiest comments about the president and many in the media never call him out on them. He comes off as a borderline racist.
For Sununu to disrespect a woman of color is another reason why many Blacks and likely women avoid Mitt Romney when they vote.

Before we go into the video, I want to say this about the Ohio issue.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a request from Jon Husted, the secretary of state of Ohio. The Republicans wanted to make the case to prevent voter fraud. But for them to end early voting the last three days before the election, the Democrats and the Obama Presidential Campaign took it court.

Well after a federal appeal for a fast-track to the Supreme Court, the Republicans were handed a major defeat. Early voting hurts Mitt Romney. The president knows the advantages of early voting and he's used it in the 2008 Presidential Election. So far over 250,000 Ohio voters cast their ballots early. The Republicans fear that Mitt Romney may lose momentum in the state of Ohio.

No Republican won a presidential election without carrying the state of Ohio.

Blame Game: Libyan Embassy Killings!



Okay, we're in the last quarter of the most hostile political election in history. Republican nominee, perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney has pulled slightly ahead in the polls (with likely voters) and President Barack Obama still has the electoral college lead but it's declining.

Tonight, Vice President Joe Biden will debate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) at their vice presidential debate tonight in Danville, Kentucky. The president needs a bounce back in the polls after two weeks of criticism from the media over his lackluster performance at the first presidential debate.

The Republicans are smelling blood in the water, yet again! They're going to play politics once again over the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. The U.S. Consulate Embassy was attacked by militants affiliated with the two main factions of al-Qaeda of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Libyan officials and the FBI are investigating how this happened. Many opportunities for an attack came forth when a filmmaker put on the internet a controversial YouTube video mocking the Prophet Mohammad. The Egyptian press got a hold of the video and it launched it into massive protests across the Middle East and the Muslim world.

September 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Cairo, Egypt was mobbed by protesters  apparently in response to an anti-Islamic online video known as Innocence of Muslims. A group scaled the embassy wall and tore down the American flag to replace it with a black Islamic flag. This incident (and the coinciding armed attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that was widely misreported as a reaction to the film) launched a series of worldwide demonstrations against the film outside diplomatic facilities of the United States and other Western countries. However, other underlying issues of discontent have fueled the protests in some countries. The protests that continued in the ensuing weeks also expanded to other Western-related locations, some of which turned violent, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The protest lays down in the groundwork for a sneak attack to infiltrate the U.S. Embassy compound in Libyan by militants. They ended up killing four Americans which included J. Christopher Stevens, a longtime ally to the president.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary Susan Rice have condemned the attacks and claimed that the American who made that video created a diplomatic mess. President Barack Obama demanded those who committed this act were to be sought and brought to justice.

Caught up in the mixture is the politics of it, did the president mention terrorism or said movie?

At first, many were claiming that Mitt Romney was looking for political gamesmanship when he told the press that he felt that Egyptian embassy and President Barack Obama were apologizing for the uprising over the movie. He was roundly criticized for jumping the gun over the issue. The American press was waiting until the facts were determined. National security advisers and the U.S. Justice Department have determined that it was an act of terrorism.

The Libyan attack happened when protesters were storming the embassy walls. Some members of a local militant group were armed with rocket launchers and they proceeded to the compound. At first, the Ambassador Christopher Stevens and his team were caught by surprised by this. So they escaped. It's was an inside job by some of the members of the Libyan security team.


Republican Party members took issue with the Democratic Party controlled administration, accusing the White House and State Department of overplaying the role of the protests against a trailer for a controversial anti-Islamic movie in the case of Libya and the government's alleged reluctance to label the attack as "terrorist".

Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has questioned whether there were any protests at all in Benghazi, saying: "I have seen no information that shows that there was a protest going on as you have seen around any other embassy at the time. It was clearly designed to be an attack." According to critics, the consulate site should have been secured better both before and after the attack.
Romney and Ryan trying to hang issue around Obama's neck!

On the 20th, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a classified briefing to U.S. Senators, which several Republican attendees criticized as uninformative.

GOP legislators also took issue with delays in the investigation, which CNN attributed to "bureaucratic infighting" between the FBI, Justice, and State. On the 26th, Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia) said he "cannot believe that the FBI is not on the ground yet."

The Washington Post Fact Checker blog reported on September 27 that the Obama administration's response was a "case study of how an administration can carefully keep the focus as long as possible on one storyline [the video] — and then turn on a dime when it is no longer tenable."

During an October 3, 2012 guest appearance on a Fox News national security program hosted by former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs K.T. McFarland, DEFCON3, Congressional counter-terrorism adviser Michael S. Smith II asserted that one area of criticism the Obama administration should prepare to address in the wake of the September 11, 2012 attacks in Libya pertains to its policy of “inaction” when opportunities arose “to go in, especially into Libya during the Arab Spring, and begin to capture, recapture, or kill a lot of jihads like the individual who’s believed to have led the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi.

The policy, however, was one of inaction.” Asked by McFarland if he thought events in Libya like the September 11, 2012 attacks reflect an example of success with al Qaeda’s possible efforts to “hijack” Arab Spring revolutions, Smith stated: “I’m not absolutely certain about that. I think what we see in the post-Arab Spring era is much stronger influence being asserted by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, I think we might want to look upon the September 11, 2012 attacks and similar events in this light: Al Qaeda … has had a much easier time exploiting policy vacuums in Washington than leadership vacuums in the Arab Spring.”


Now here's the kicker, Republicans admit to cutting the security forces for their stupid obsession with trying to stop massive spending. These guys are fucking ridiculous!


Congressman Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, said Wednesday he "absolutely" voted for cutting funding for embassy security.
Pressure's on the president to answer Libyan attack!

Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations, accused the White House of lying about details of the Sept. 11 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, according to The Hill blog.

Chaffetz is leading an investigation into the Libya attack and security preparedness along with fellow Republican, Congressman Darrell Issa of California.

While speaking to CNN, Chaffetz was asked if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."

"Absolutely," he replied. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things."


The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been holding hearings over the attack in Libya, with security officials testifying about the preparedness of the security teams.

The Daily Beast noted that a memo prepared for House Democrats by the committee did not dispute the claims of a fragile security situation, but also pointed out the funding cuts for diplomatic security and embassy construction.

"Since gaining the majority in 2011, House Republicans have voted to reduce embassy security funding by approximately half a billion dollars below the amounts requested by the Obama administration," read the memo.

Chaffetz was the only House member to go on a fact-finding mission to Libya, said the Daily Beast.

Democrats said they were not given enough advance warning about the trip, and as a result no Democratic House members were able to go with Chaffetz.

Soledad O'Brien Smacks Down Romney Supporter!



CNN is trailing behind in the ratings due to the hyperpartisan rabble rousers of Fox News and MSNBC.

CNN has been in the game since the 1980s. But competition is rising. And CNN tried to fend it off!

CNN is considered the most fairest network in political coverage. It's hated by both the left and the right.

Soledad O'Brien is one of the toughest in the news.

A few days ago, former New Hampshire governor, Republican John Sununu gets into it with the host of Early Start. Sununu is one of those pain inducing conservative agitators who doesn't care about facts.

All he wants to do is get his own television show on these freaking cable news channels.

Soledad O'Brien goes at it with John Sununu.

Sununu made the news recently by claiming the president was smoking something while attending Columbia University. Sununu is a birther and borderline racist.
