CNN and Washington Post Taking Advantage of CNBC Screw-Up, So Can You

Posted on March 17, 2009 by Ed

If you are watching CNN this week, they are focusing very hard on covering what regular people are going through on the economy. They are bringing on pundits, consultants and authors to discuss how people can find a job, save money and stay healthy. They doing this to counter CNBC who been exposed as nothing but cheerleaders, horsing around with some of the most shady CEOs that help hurt the economy. Then you have Washington Post stating they will shift some of their front page news to covering business. I pretty much know Washington Post move is to counter the Wall Street Journal who was right there in bed with CNBC, covering White Privilege and focused too much on trying to discredit Barack Obama as a African-American presidential candidate.

What CNN and Washington Post is doing is what I have explained many brothas or sistas can be doing with their own untapped and ignored talent that the world would like to consume. Some of you brothas and sistas been through hard times before – yall know how to make fish and spaghetti and you can easily create videos to distribute worldwide to show cats how to grind. Some of yall know how to make a meal for four people for under $15. Some of yall know how to make soap, braid hair, make cheap makeup look good. And you can sell these advice you learned as a brotha or sista worldwide on video and preview clips on YouTube to promote.

I was talking to some about Sunrise Earth and I was like, I wish someone made something like Sunrise Hood that shows the hood up in Brooklyn, East St. Louis, Southeast DC, Liberty City, FL, South Side Chicago and East LA in the morning because some of us love the sound of the city in the morning more than some bird chirping and waves splattering. Show me in full HD of street hustlers selling newspapers and used bus cards on the side. Sound of traffic building up and the train rolling by to pick up people for work. Pack of roaming rabid dogs running up and down the alley and pigeons on roofs as the sun comes up in the hood. And occassional emergency sirens and brothas driving by with the radio all loud. I’ll pay for that DVD set and know a lot of other cats will do.

Look at these shows such as G. Garvin, Big Daddy or Laura Lake – people worldwide love that stuff and want to see us doing us. I hear it all the time from people all over the world – they don’t like seeing Black people propped up by White people, they want to see Black people doing them. When are cats going to figure this ish out?!

I’m mentioning CNN and Washington Post but the real subject is the idiots at CNBC because CNBC represents the White Privilege that you brothas and sistas can take advantage. CNBC don’t know how to stop being about White Privilege or stop ass-kissing CEOs because that’s all they know how to do. They can’t change their business model overnight because they built themselves up to be cheerleading and horsing around with CEOs to tell the public their companies doing fine while touting EBITDA numbers that don’t mean ish.

You saw how quick CNN converted to talking about regular people in the economy because CNN knew that CNBC was attracting a demographic of regular people to understand what’s going on but CNBC couldn’t deliver. Instead, Rick Santelli told the new demographic of regular people to go f*ck off while he raise his hands to rally fellow traders who were helping sell out America. So CNN took advantage of that. Same with WSJ as Washington Post realize that many people see WSJ as nothing but a right-wing rag, not a business publication. Washington Post want that audience because that’s a money audience.

Remember the audience because this is important. For CNN, they want the regular people so they can get advertising from general advertisers like consumer product brands who have the biggest advertising budgets. CNBC still trying to pitch advertising to these investment cats who are shedding jobs and asking for federal bailout like a dumbass. For Washington Post, they are looking at the I-95 and Acela Express cats to take away from the Wall Steet Journal. See, both CNN and Washington Post realizing a consumer base is not being served and now working to take them from these clowns as CNBC and Wall Street Journal who are trying to just remain status quo.

This is what I keep explaining to you brothas and sistas – most of these mainstream clowns, including these Black media outlets are not serving the Black community and you and I both know that to be true. This is the entrepreneurial opportunity for you cats to come in and take the audience that these mainstream media clowns are not taking care of and bring these consumers and their money your way. Even if you have a blog and can charge 2,000 people from a worldwide base just $4/month access to your video, content or whatever – that’s $8,000/month ($4,000/month after taxes), you got pocket change to pay bills and do what you like. And trust me, you’ll be a lot happier with that little $4,000 doing what you like than $12,000/month doing plantation work for some corporate bigot.

In summary, the best advantage a brotha or sista got is to straight take from these White Privilege cats who know nothing but White Privilege. I do not know what some of you brothas or sistas are so f*cking scared of, it ain’t like they are trying to hire you or even if you got a job, they dangling that job over your head to make you do things you would not do if the economy was better. Just like CNN and Washington Post are trying to take from CNBC and WSJ, many of you brothas and sistas can try to take from these major brand bigots.

Yall brothas and sistas need to wake up – this is their recession and nothing more than our opportunity to step up, take and make ish happen from them not being able to maintain.
