Lennon Baldwin, 15-Year-Old Allegedly Bullied At School, Commits Suicide (VIDEO)

Here we go again. However, this time the bully happens to be African American. What you bet he will be found guilty and given the maximum sentencing. I bet no New Jersey judge will give him a light sentence nor will members of GLAAD come out in support of the culprit, as was done for Dharun Ravi. Ok media you can play the race card now.

U.S. Child Poverty Second Highest Among Developed Nations: Report

Hold on, it will get worse with all the single family households. Unfortunately, Dan Quayle (I know of all people) spoke out against this some decades ago when he attacked the fictional character Murphy Brown, for having a baby out of wedlock. At time many thought why is he picking on a TV character? Well, now we have life imitating art.

Eric Holder: Voter ID Laws Threaten Voting Rights

I don't get it. What is the big deal with presenting an ID? This is 2012 and to receive services of any type in the US you must have a valid ID. Why should it be different for voting?

Wait, are the comments considered racist because he is a white tea party member and made the comments? Or is it racist because the media deems it to be so? If he were a black or hispanic comedian making the comment or not even a comedian would the comment be considered racist? Just asking.

CNN Hit 20-Year Primetime Ratings Low In May

Here is my assessment of the situation with cable news. Cable news is like a friend. CNN is the friend who tells you what you should know. MSNBC tells you what you want to hear and Fox tells you what they want you to hear and know. From its inception decades ago, CNN has tried to report the news in a fair and balanced manner. Unfortunately, many news watchers today don't want straight news. People today want to know what the journalists are thinking and whose side they are on politically or in general. The news can't just be reported on without an opinion. Pop culture is dictating that journalists become commentators and provide their personal feedback.



CNN has an attractive stable of smart journalists (minus two or three who should go), but the station doesn't know how to best use them. If the station could get its arms around programming and better utilize the staff it might have a chance.
