Regarding this, as an independent little peon I'm doing the only things I can do: I don't watch their programming, I don't attend their functions, and I don't buy any of their crap. Even when programs I do like tangent off into the sports politics garbage I switch stations or shut it off and find something else to do with what's left of my time here on earth.

Nice article, LibertyPen. Thanks for posting it in the Gulch.

The news yesterday reported that Bad Bunny hates America so much that he boycotted America on his current tour. I said, "OH! But, he'll show up for the halftime show!" Might as well have Osama Bin Laden for the halftime show. Or maybe some violent drug lord from South America.

I really don't care about race. But, I remember actually paying attention during the Superbowl about 5 years ago and noticing that about 9 out of 10 advertisements were all black people. I thought it was hilarious. The other 10% made fun of dumb, white, male fathers. Haha!!! Watch again this time and have a good laugh with me.

  I didn't watch any of it so I don't know what the ad demographics were. However, I don't think White males are allowed in commercials anymore unless they are depicted as evil, stupid, or gay. I do like to watch interesting videos on YouTube and White male use in ads is virtually zero. (Yes, I've deliberately started to capitalize "White" when referring to race to counter the MSMM deliberate capitalization of black but not White - childish game that it is.)

  I suppose some choose it for love of community or country and others for power and grift. It looks like very few can go into that swamp and come out not stained and smelling bad. Sad, really, as we need good leadership.
