Using Media To Empower or Destroy Minds w/ R Lee Gordon

Last night we discussed the passing of Andrew Breitbart and how he used media to make an impact, albeit a negative, the body politic. Tonight we will be joined by Mr. R. Lee Gordon of National Black Teen Empowerment to discuss using media to make a positive impact on the lives of teens and their parents. We will also discuss the latest news on the controversy surrounding rapper Too $hort XXL's video encouraging young men to be sexually agressive towards females. Too $Hort is now saying that the video was taken out of context. In addition, their is an interview Too $hort did in February that has not recieved the attention the XXL video garnered. In this article he discusses something we have discussed several times on the program and that is how the recording industry suppressed conscious music and was only interested in green lighting so-called "Gangsta Rap" and rap heavy on Misogny which he made a career on. Stay tuned for the News Briefs segment for a discussion on the top political and social news stories from a Black perspective after our interview.

Andrew Breitbart, lying racist scumbag dead at 43

Conservitive blogger, video editor and all around lying scum Andrew Breitbart died just after midnight last night according to reports and the cause of death is a mystery. Reports have ranged from an enlarged heart to unspecified heart problems. The coroner has yet to issue a report for the exact cause of death. From conservative rags to so-called liberal outlets like the New York Times, many are trying to gloss over the fact the Breitbart was a racist and aliar who used manipulated and staged videos to attack political enemies on the left including voter registration groups like ACORN and his edited video of a Shirley Sherrod speech directly led to her being fired by the Obama administration.

Tonight I am joined by Marty Owings a former Blog Talk Radio host who now is a reporter and livestream host for the independent news organization Minnesota Capitol News.
