Can I just say, I think the two latino stations only showed the speeches of Obama and McCain...the two running for president.
I don’t think they showed the entire RAT convention. At least they were fair. BET could be fined for not showing both.
Couldn’t they?
That’s pretty racist.
::snicker::
Maybe there are not all that many people out there interested in what Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, but there may be quite a few out there willing to listen to the other side.
Very likely the two different conventions drew rather different demographics.
OMG. I just watched the full speech on the internet-I don’t even want to read the pundits commentaries, it would spoil it for me-the last part moved me to tears, and I’m no wimpy liberal who turns on the faucet at the drop of a phrase. Nothing could be more moving than his story that lead to him saying “America saved me”. And I grinned from ear to ear when he said the part (paraphrasing) about not thinking that he was called of God to “save the country in its hour of need”, but that he felt honored to be able to serve her. I don’t care what the chatterati are saying, that speech moved me in a different way, as much as Sarah Palin’s did. I don’t agree with John McCain on everything-I have major disagreements with him on a couple of things-but my gut tells me that NO one, absolutely no one, could have the integrity as far as having a real desire to serve as elected that he will bring to the Presidency, even if I want to throttle him for some of his beliefs in the future.
BET would really love the Fairness Doctrine, wouldn’t they? Would it be enforced for them? No way. In this case the Fairness Doctrine would be just for the weak-minded whiteys who might be persuaded.
Oh Noz! I bet Barama’s head is spinning!
I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree, but here’s my two cents worth:
At 72, Mr. McCain just made another sacrifice for his country; He gave us what seems
to be another ‘real’ conservative which may just carry us for the next twelve years.
He’ll be gone, but his mark will remain.
I’d like to know what BET’s normal # of viewers would be for a Thursday night and compare it to BET’s actual #s for last night. It could be said that the difference in viewership was the group watching McCain. Might be one way to evaluate black interest in McCain/Palin.
“””BET and TV One apparently decided that with Barry O already pulling 90-95% of the black vote, they needn’t bother turning any precious airtime over to McCain.”””
It is sad that BET and TV One did not air the Republican convention. But I guess the Democrats and the Black Leadership would not want their minions to ever know the truth.
BET wants to keep its viewers on the Democrat Plantation.
That’s pretty amazing. Palin vs. Biden’s ratings are even more dramatic.
I wonder if the media will hype the fact McCain just broke the record like they did for Obama...
I wonder how that breaks down in how much was spent by both campaigns to produce these results . I would bet Obama out spent McCain.
What kind of audience did “Plugs for Slugs” Biden draw? 5 relatives from Scranton?
There is a mountain of FEC violations. One that screams at me is all that free airtime that the dims received IS, if I’m not mistaken, considered a donation if the opposing party does not receive the same consideration. Do ya think the GOP could get away with that? Is the McCainPalin Campaign going to pursue this violation and further erode osabama’s chances? Just wondering.

That’s hilarious when you think about it: The DNC convention = “Black Entertainment Television.”
