Michael Baisden's Show off the Air in Los Angeles?


Well, I knew that something like this would happen. I am an avid Michael Baisden Show listener. A couple of days ago, the Bad Boy was sent a memo while on air asking him not to discuss the violence going on in Los Angeles.

I live in the Chicago listening area and was puzzled about said violence. Apparently, there is violence connected to the shooting of a high school football player who was murdered steps from his home in L.A. by an illegal Mexican immigrant recently released from jail. Apparently, Mr. Baisden was going to discuss it on his show that day and was asked not to do so by station managers and or producers. The Los Angeles radio station that carries his nationwide syndicated show threatened to take him off of the air in L.A. if he discussed the violence that has ensued there behind the senseless killing of yet another promising Black youth.

The Bad Boy was flabbergasted that he would be asked not to reach out to the community in which he too lives.
Yesterday it was announced that the station in L.A. was being sold and they would not keep his show on the air for whatever reason.
This is a travesty. How can that station's owners deprive all of L.A. of Michael Baisden? Every black person with ears listens to this man and some whites and Hispanics and everybody!
Why attack the messenger?

Michael Baisden is a very popular afternoon drive time radio talk show host. He is a connection between all of us in this country who want to be involved in our community.

But naw--not talking about things like single parenting, race relations, male/female relations, personal finance is best for L.A.
Why not take Rush Limbaugh off of the air? I don't listen to him nor do I think what he says is important. He is divisive and should be investigated by the FBI for interfering in the US Election process. However, to my knowledge he can keep spreading his typhoid across the airwaves unchecked.

I hope the people of Los Angeles stand up for Michael Baisden and his show--and in effect, themselves. They should sound off to the new owners and ask for a reversal of the decision to end the Bad Boy's show.
Mike also said that listeners who want to stay in touch should go to MingleCity.com and sign up for the newsletter.

Barack Obama N.Y. Economic Speech video

I blinked and it was over. I switched from channel to channel and no one was there. By the time I got to sit at my desk to stream Dem. Presidential Candidate Barack Obama's speech on the economy, he was wrapping it up and saying good day folks.

Well, there was breakfast to make and waiting for the computer to boot up just to get the stream, but it wasn't like last time.

Obama was on every channel and there was lengthy commentary afterward. Matter of fact there was more chatter about Rev. Wright during Obama's economic speech than any commentary on the speech itself.
Once again I had to scourge the 'net to find out what was said.
However, behind the speech about repairing the economy, of course Fox, msnbc and the crew were still talking about race and Jeremiah Wright.

The economic plan Sen. Obama talked about was stumped by racist news politics. Most of these people aren't Obama supporters and aren't going to vote for him so why should Obama and his supporters care. Like Rev. Wright or not.

Does Rush Limbaugh care about how a black democrat feels about stuff--or anyone in the GOP? No, they don't. They don't even seem to care about the poor and jobless who still want to cling to so-called conservative GOP values--the folk in their own party.

So, why should Sen. Obama care about a racist that has no plan to cast a vote in his favor? No one is going to appease the racist news poltical commentator ever again.

Anyway, I'm still looking for that video. Okay I found the video.

Who Wants Milk?

Wal-Mart Offers Private Label Milk Produced Without Artificial Growth Hormone

Suppliers pledge to provide milk from cows not treated with rbST

BENTONVILLE, Ark., March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wal-Mart announced today that its Great Value milk is now being sourced exclusively from cows that have not been treated with artificial growth hormones like recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST). Sam's Club is also exclusively offering milk selections from suppliers that have pledged not to treat cows with rbST.

While the FDA has stated that milk from cows treated with rbST poses no risk to human health, many Wal-Mart customers have expressed a desire for milk choices. Today's announcement is evidence that Wal-Mart is committed to keeping its product selection in line with what customers expect to find when shopping its stores.

"We value our customers' opinions and understand how important variety is in all aspects of the business," said Pam Kohn, senior vice president, general merchandise manager, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. "We've listened to customers and are pleased that our suppliers are helping us offer Great Value milk from cows that are not treated with rbST."

Wal-Mart's entire dairy selection -- including organic and conventional offerings -- meets USDA and FDA standards. Suppliers of the company's Great Value milk have pledged to source exclusively from cows that have not been treated with artificial growth hormones.
