Media companies are often part of large conglomerates. For the media to publicize these efforts that could potentially create a large swelling of public sentiment against certain recording artists would go against their bottom line. Viacom who owns CBS ALSO owns MTV. I'm sure they own at least one or more record labels as well. Why would they want to create protests against themselves?
It's really not that huge of a stretch. Viacom and other TV networks give screen time to the movies, books and other such ventures within their organization and they present it as part of the news (or the entertainment segment).
So that's my conspiracy theory.

ktsnake:
Viacom also owns BET (Black Entertainment Television)...
It you watch some of the shows, you can see what Bill is talking about...

On that note:
I could say many a thing and it would be too long to explain. So I will break it down to just this:
I think Bill Cosby is full of shit.
It has to do with a cultural asili and the utamawazo.
Bill has gotten too bourgeoise for "us"...
Is he a sell out, yet? I wouldn't go far as to say that.
Would I say, condemn the "white man"... I wouldn't say that either.
Of course some negroes need to own upto their problems like Bill is describing.
But the question is, how would he know what is going on in the "hoodie-G" when he ain't livin' in one???
I could write something glib, but I would rather not 'cuz I just do not want to go "there" right now...
I can write this as pithy as you'd like... But, I really would like to keep it civil...
I guarentee if this thread loses civility, it will get locked up--more than likely due to what I could say...
So let us ponder my comments--especially if you have seen them before and know how I write--and PM me if you want to further discuss...
