Amy Pascal Calls Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson: "I Want to Accept Responsibility"
 
Tatiana Siegel, Dec. 11, 2014, Hollywood Reporter

In the wake of the leak, speculation mounted that Pascal might be forced to step down, but she says she has the full support of her parent company, Sony Corp., and her bosses in Japan. "That is completely untrue," she said. "I still have the full support of the company."

She also has been receiving support from the community, with Aaron Sorkin and George Clooney rallying around her.

98% of Networks' Jobs Stories Ignore Black Unemployment --But can spot a 'racist' Tea Party sign a mile away

April 03, 2014 ABC News , Black Unemployment 0 Comments
By Sean Long, Apr. 3, 2014, Newsbusters.org
There is a jobs crisis in the U.S. that is going virtually unnoticed by the broadcast networks. The unemployment rate for African Americans towers over the national average, upsetting conservatives and liberals.
In spite of bipartisan outrage, the three broadcast networks gave just 10 seconds combined to the black unemployment rate around the monthly jobs reports in the past year. Liberal Rev. Jesse Jackson was one of many frustrated people. He has complained that “the media [is] dismissing it as not important.”
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data revealed a severe jobs crisis for African-Americans even in recent months. While the national unemployment rate for all races was 6.7 percent in February 2014, the black unemployment rate was almost twice that at 12 percent. There is little doubt that the March jobs report which will be released April 4 will continue to show a devastating gap between the two rates.
The Media Research Center’s Business and Media Institute looked at broadcast network news coverage during the week surrounding the monthly release of jobs data going back for a year. BMI found that the subject of high black unemployment was completely ignored by 98 percent of jobs stories.
Of the 145 jobs-related stories during those weeks, the networks only mentioned the disproportionately high black unemployment rate in two stories. Both were on NBC and spent a combined total of 10 seconds on the “discouraging” black unemployment rate in reports about the overall jobs situation. ABC and CBS completely ignored black unemployment during this period, although they aired 100 stories about jobs.

"5 Things Americans Should Still Be Ashamed Of Doing"--(Electing and re-electing Obama should have accounted for 2.)

March 25, 2014 Al Sharpton , James J. Braddock 0 Comments
John Hawkins, Mar. 25, 2014, Townhall
The only time most people hear the word "shame" in any setting these days is when someone tells them, "You don't have to be ashamed." Unfortunately, in a society full of reality TV shows, overhyped marketing, and millions of people competing for attention on the Internet, we could use more shame, not less. The fact of the matter is that shame can be a very healthy emotion if you've done something shameful. Shouldn't rapists feel shame? How about the Westboro Baptist Church members who've protested at funerals? What if you stole a poor kid's lunch and it was the only thing he had to eat that day? There are times when shame is very appropriate.

Unfortunately, in an interconnected world where every malcontent, misfit, and misanthrope on the planet can get together via the Internet, there is no perversion, sickness, or cruelty that human beings can do to each other that won't be heartily applauded in some dark corner of the web. Over a decade ago talented liberal humorist Zack Parsons (who would undoubtedly hate this column) wrote an extraordinary piece about how the net helps encourage shameful and weird behavior.

"Sorry, Jesse Jackson: South Africa Has Photo ID Voting"--(And that crazy translator still got in)

March 20, 2014 Breitbart.com , Fox News' Special Report 0 Comments
By Joe B. Pollak, Breitbart.com


Rev. Jesse Jackson appeared on Fox News' Special Report on Thursday to comment on the passing of Nelson Mandela--and to exploit Mandela's death for his own campaign against "voter suppression," i.e. laws requiring photo ID at the voting booth on Election Day.

Unfortunately for Rev. Jackson, South Africa requires photo ID to vote. South Africa's Electoral Commission notes in its FAQ section that "you can vote in national and provincial elections as long as you have your valid, green, bar-coded ID and you are registered to vote." The ID includes a photograph.

That does not prevent fraud. While in South Africa, this reporter has personally witnessed members of the ruling party handing out photo ID books on Election Day. So even photo ID is not a panacea. But it certainly makes fraud more difficult--something Mandela understood.
