West is a hot-tempered, bad-mouthed foolish little man. Why does anyone care what he thinks about anything? He can spout off, play the victim, try to gain 15 minutes of fame. In the end, everyone sees him as a tool.
The real tool, and real fool, is Bush.
Ex-prez Bush is a shallow narcissist for saying Kanye West's comment was "the worst moment of my presidency." If that was the worst moment of his presidency, Bush is a thin-skinned brat and a major racist who doth protest too much about being called a racist.
Bush did abandon New Orleans and left its people without water and food for far too many days. I agree with Kanye that George Bush does not care about black people. It was clear for the world to see during Katrina.
During a speech in Mississippi, Bush called the destruction in New Orleans "this part of the world." Not this part of the country, the nation, the homeland. "This part of the world." That quote went unnoticed and spoke volumes about Bush's feelings about New Orleans and its people. We are like "third world" to him.
After Kanye's foolish upstaging and rudeness to Taylor Swift at the MTV awards last year, Kanye was labeled a racist and it hurt. That is why he expressed empathy to Bush with Matt Lauer. However, I agree with Kanye that Lauer screwed Kanye over to create a cat and mouse game between Kanye and Bush.
NBC, like most once legitimate TV newsrooms, has become sensationalist, lowlife junk. NBC is competing with CBS's Entertainment Tonight and Warner Brothers' Extra. NBC is owned by ultra right wing General Electric.
NBC recently displayed their disgusting behavior with the "indefinite suspension" of Keith Olbermann for making "unapproved" political contributions. Olbermann promptly was back on the air when 300,000 signatures hit NBC's front office demanding he be returned immediately.
The Times-Picayune became a sensationalist, lowlife junk newspaper starting in 1993 when New Jersey owners Newhouse brought trash-minded Newark management to town. Everyone has seen the embarrassing decline of our hometown newspaper over the years.
The Times-Picayune was once "the newspaper of record" and the pride of the state. It was the largest and best newspaper in a four state region: Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Baton Rouge, Little Rock and Birmingham now put the Picayune to shame. What the Picayune has turned into lately is literally not worth publishing, online or in print.
Editorially, the Picayune lost all moral decency and literally lost the right to be journalists by supporting David Vitter for U.S. Senate. Vitter admitted to committing crimes with prostitutes. Even though the DA did not have the guts to charge him, he is an admitted criminal, adulterer, and hypocrite “family values” candidate. Nevertheless, Vitter is good enough for the Picayune Board of Directors. When they look in the mirror, I wonder what they see, or what "lists" they are on.
It is easy to understand why "The Fourth Estate," now primarily owned by giant non-news conglomerate corporations, is going out of business. "The news," especially network news and daily newspapers, cannot be trusted and no longer serve the public good. The laughable Faux Fox News is a separate category, more like the comedy channel, but mean-spirited and destructive to the dignity of the United States of America.
Kanye West thinks NBC’s Matt Lauer screwed him over. MSNBC viewers think Keith Olbermann was screwed over. Moreover, Picayune readers, judging by the lengthy forum of negative reactions to the Vitter endorsement, think their daily newspaper screwed them over by supporting an immoral and criminal scumbag to be Louisiana’s United States Senator.
The Fourth Estate, Proud To Call It Gnome.
