To be fair, it wasn't as awful as I thought it would be, but to quote Ricky Gervais "Why do I care what the man in the street has to say? There's a reason he's in the street."
Charlie Brooker is a god amongst men. If you like his style check out News Wipe, Screen Wipe and he also did the Black Mirror TV series, the first episode has the Prime Minister forced to fuck a pig on live TV.
I was thinking the same about the "guy on the street" bit. The rest was pretty much as "news" as could be. Who, what, where, when, why and how. They got it.
that actually probably helped anthony, a black woman saying 'she attacked him first...she was wrong' also the reporter standing in the middle of a really busy times square (even though in anthony's pictures it looks like there's barely anyone around) and saying that 'it's almost impossible to take a picture without someone getting in frame'
No. DirecTV lets you program your reciever to skip unwanted channels. If I knew what channel Fox News was on, I could manually enter it & watch it. I don't care to watch Fox News, so I haven't bothered.
The Blaze is Glenn Beck's media outlet. Uberfan Stuntbrain works for The Blaze, so any article from that source should be taken w/ a shaker-full of salt.
I agree that Sirius won't turn around on this. Pretty sure Sirius had no intention of renewing the boys when their contract expires. R&F were moved to Raw Dog for a reason & there's a reason that ONLY O&A content (and the shitshow/preshow/aftershow) are aired on the O&A channel.
Dump O&A & move something else to their channel once the contract expires. Save millions! SXM doesn't give a fuck about the Hoo-hoo listeners. Why the fuck would they care about the O&A fanbase?
In this day and age white people get unreasonably offended for black people more than black people get unreasonably get offended. She also doesn't have to worry about being labelled a racist for not having the PC response.
Decent Black people hate trashy black people more that white people do, yet many decent Black people have to deal w/ their trashy counterparts far more often than decent white/Asian/Hispanic/any other race of people do.
I'm mixed race, and it's funny. The only time I have a black guy reaction is when I overhear, see some so ghetto he has to practice in the mirror level black trash. Cause I don't look it, there have been times I'm pretty sure my visible aggrivation made me look racist.
That and condscending liberals. I can't stand the hypocritical close to white man's burden censorship happy liberal guilt. It's insulting and they expect thanks, believe they are so great for it.
There is a spectrum of trashiness too. Uptight asshole (actually enjoys Martha's Vineyard owns salmon colored shorts), normal guy, slightly trashy (Ant is about here as are some pothead friends and guys working shit jobs on LI who I'm buddies with, fun to drink with guys), really trashy (girls Ant dates, woman who attacked him). White people aren't measured by their trash. On some level this outrage at him for reacting like he did, that's how liberals lump a minority with their worst.
I guess that's the other thing that pisses me off about this. Yeah what he said was racially charged but he was talking about those black people. It would be different if he didn't associate personally with any black people. He was assaulted, I would sound pretty racist if you took that, took jokes I've told as sound bites. Anyway I'm rambling and tired but this it just gets under my skin.
My wife and I, both in our mid-40s, honeymooned on Nantucket recently.
Salmon colored shorts and blue blazers seemed to be the required unifom on the island! Neither my wife nor I own salmon colored shorts nor blue blazers! We're both white, and she's upper middle class and/or the very bottom of the 1%. I'm just a working class middle-aged man. I buy my underwear at K-mart or a fucking Hanes outlet.
I'm a liberal, and I completely appreciate your 2nd paragraph, especially the last sentence.

He was assaulted, I would sound pretty racist if you took that, took jokes I've told as sound bites. Anyway I'm rambling and tired but this it just gets under my skin.
You know those guilty white liberals are going to attack you for that, right? I mean, they think they're smarter than you & you just don't realize that you've been insulted. They'll gladly feign outrage on your behalf & then look for accolades because that makes them a better person in their mind and the minds of their fellow guilty white liberals.
IMO, Patrice kept Ant in line. Ant respected Patrice as a human being & took his views on race relations to heart. And Patrice was the FIRST person to call BULLSHIT on Anthony's "racially charged" (racist?) rants. Patrice didn't just call him out, he engaged him in conversation & forced Ant to reconsider his position. I'm not sure Patrice ever made Ant change his point of view, but he at least made him consider another point of view. The one thing I know about the Ant/Patrice relationship is that they always LISTENED to one another, at least on the air.
Ant started going off the rails racially when Obama was elected. He got further off the rails when de Blasio was elected mayor of NYC.
Ant loves to view himself as a defender of the Constitution, but he's a fucking hypocrite. He's all for for the 1st and 2nd Amendments, but has no problem if NYPD violates "THOSE PEOPLE'S" 4th Amendment rights. (NYC stop and frisk, largely targeted at black and brown people)
Yes, stop and frisk cuts down on crime, but it also violates our fundamental rights as free Americans. Ant (at least his on-air personality) has a blind spot there. Perhaps because he's never been stopped and frisked.
I wonder why Anthony didn't talk to them? He probably thought they were going to make him look bad. In all honesty they did a good job, very neutral tone through out.
THAT'S RIGHT, BOBOSGENITALS! GOT PESKY LITTLE BALD MEN WHO BLINK TOO MUCH BUSTING INTO YOUR FRAMES? THEN COME ON DOWN TO TED'S FRAME EMPORIUM! WE'VE GOT ALL YER NEEDS FROM PICTURE FRAMES TO WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT! THEY'RE STURDY AND ECONOMICAL!
I fucking hate twitter and how it's used as a respectable source of information. He's said all this shit before, but it's only saying it on twitter that gets him lambasted.
If his opinion was abhorrent to SiriusXM and his behaviour was inconsistent with what they represent he would never of been fucking hired.
Also, enough with this fucking horse shit about Anthony not returning your calls. Bullocks.

Did Fox News cover this? Ant loves Fox, as it reinforces his beliefs. If Fox (not a local affiliate, but FOX NEWS) covered it, I'd like to see it.
Can't see Fox News at home. Wife has it blocked & I'm fine w/ that. There's generally nothing worth watching on that channel anyway.

you are correct sir. I could un-block it with a few keystrokes on the remote. I just don't watch that much TV & I don't give a fuck about Fox News.

Chris Rock hilariously points this out in BRING THE PAIN and he caught a bunch of shit for it. It's no coincidence that his next HBO special was titled "BIGGER AND BLACKER"
Trashy people are trashy, regardless of race/color/whatever.
Anthony is admittedly Long Island White Trash & he's attracted to trashy women. VERY YOUNG trashy women, at least since his split w/ Melissa Stetten.
