TV One to cover Democratic convention -- but not Republican
TCA -- Given Barack Obama's historic run for the Oval Office, African American-themed cable network TV One plans to break from its usual entertainment programming to provide extensive coverage of the Democratic National Convention in August.

 "Sen. Barack Obama running for president is a huge deal for TV One as it is for the African American community," said Johnathan Rodgers, president and CEO of TV One, a channel in about 40 million homes. "African Americans have fallen in love with his candidacy, his family  … we will be covering the democratic convention all the time."

PS if that makes me a racist ...... I have no problem with that.

That's cool. Blacks make up around 15% of the population. Let these racists piss off the white population and Obama will get slaughtered come November.

The last thing McCain and his campaign workers should get into is race issues. The dumb asses on the other side will let their mocking bird mouth overload their alligator ass.

Lets see what happens to their ratings.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

Seriously? They won't change. Hell, they may go up.

As for the situation, FINE! Quell this "Fairness Doctrine" bullshit and you can have EVERYTHING you want on YOUR station, you race-baiting pricks.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Seriously.   Look at their lineup. 

Other than BHO's acceptance speech HE won't be on and can you really picture them watching anyone else ?

It is meaningless and I have no problem with it.  They know their audience - more power to them. 

As a whole, black Americans have rendered themselves politically unimportant to both major parties.  They still get polite lip service, but it is ultimately meaningless.  Their block vote is as predictable as the sunrise.

Yes, you know it's bad when the "black" candidate even ignores them. And why shouldn't he? This isn't the only cable or newtwork outlet Barack Hussein Obama owns - he still has NBC and CNN and the other cheerleading for him 24/7.

Should be great for them.  Sounds like a totally-sound marketing decision to me, given their target demographic.

It does, however, fly in the face of their constant drumbeat for re-institution of the "fairness doctrine".......

Shocker!!   

 :whatever:

If anyone ever watches BET...they'd know they don't even have whites in their commercials.  Since the Democratic Party(historically) is the black person's party, it only makes sence that they'd air only their convention.  Unfortunatley it will piss of the few black republicans...but I don't think they'll care.
And like Lacarnut stated, 15% of the vote won't really effect the election.  Didn't Kerry have the same amount of support from the blacks, and still lost?
