Sharpton paid to keep quiet about lack of black TV programming: suit
 

shame on you! :321GFY :disgust:disgust:disgust

The Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network had their silence bought ? with a hefty $3.8 million in ?donations?? ? to not complain about the lack of black TV programming, according to an explosive new lawsuit filed by a national black-media group.

The Association of African-American Owned Media charges that Comcast and Time Warner carry barely a handful of channels that are completely black-owned ? and Sharpton and other key African-American advocacy groups aren?t screaming about it because they were essentially paid not to.

Comcast even sweetened the deal for Sharpton by allowing him ?to maintain his hosting position [on the Comcast-co-owned MSNBC] for more than three years in exchange for Sharpton?s continued public support for Comcast on issues of diversity ? despite the notoriously low ratings that Sharpton?s show generates,?? the suit says.

Sharpton blasted the suit Monday as ?frivolous at best.??

He denied to The Post that he and NAN received nearly $4 million from Comcast, insisting,?Never, did not get it.??

The activist said that while his group has gotten some donations from the media giant, ?It?s nowhere near $1 million, much less $3 million.??

Sharpton also insisted that his show is at the top of the ratings heap for its time slot ? and even suggested that the head of AAAOM is the one guilty of being sleazy.

?I would welcome it,?? Sharpton said of the suit. ?We could then be deposed on what this gentleman asked us to do to help him get programming, which we frankly considered below our standard and unethical.??
A Comcast rep also denied the claims in a statement.

?We do not generally comment on pending litigation, but this complaint represents nothing more than a string of inflammatory, inaccurate and unsupported allegations,? the company said in an email to The Post.

?We currently carry more than 100 networks geared toward diverse audiences, including multiple networks owned or controlled by minorities.

?Comcast has engaged in good faith negotiations with this programmer for many years. It is disappointing that they have decided to file a frivolous lawsuit.?

wtf is "black tv programming"? I thought we are all humans? Unless you care what race someone is - which is what racists do...

Your lack of IQ makes you think that this article is in favor of your gfy agenda, while it is the exact opposite :thumbsup:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:2 cents::2 cents:

Another proof of black racism. How can we kick the sense into libtards though? I mean they blame white racism not seeing the exact opposite being more truth :helpme
No wonder you must be retarded to be a librard :1orglaugh

Should this surprise you.

Sharpton might have started with the best of intentions, but that went out the door once he discovered there was profit in it.

I wish him nothing but the worst.

.

Yeah, because double standards may be called right intentions :)

man you are a fuking pest :2 cents::2 cents:

Why is brassmonkey always stirring racial shit on GFY?

Why does the board administration tolerate this?

He posts nothing but racial baiting and shit stirring. Srsly?

skip over it :2 cents::2 cents:

tv is market generated... you're an asshole... not all assholes are black and not all black people are assholes but you sure the fuck are... fuck you and your race bating threads :321GFY

This comes as a revelation.

I've heard people say there's a lack of 'black programming' because generally it's not very entertaining or intellectually stimulating.

Lack of demand translates to lack of supply.

This is crazy as he is like the only person I know that can tell the IRS to fu#$ off and not go to jail even though he lied on his returns and owes millions in back taxes. Meanwhile, the rest of us are fried and slammed in jail for owing much less no questions asked. Welcome to America. blah

You're illiteracy is showing once again. The first characters in his post were "shame on you! :321GFY :disgust:disgust:disgust."

That obviously shows disdain for either Sharpton or the black organization suing him. He is clearly upset with a black person or people, but it is not clear which.

Fucking banned. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fucking clown.

i suppose the thread about 'jigaboo music' with references to 'darkie, porchmonkey' was entirely ok.

not to point out the obvious, but why ban the obvious minority for things that get posted by non-minorities with little or no recourse or 'complaints'? i believe that falls under the definition of 'discrimination: 'the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.'

racism has many different forms, and while the outright racism that seems to be an everyday event here is quickly becoming overshadowed by the reality on how this OP was banned, and other OPs are not even noticed.

FYI, someone hacked this account (HoneLynn). This isn't me :Oh crap

he is a scumbag :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

yes he is :2 cents::2 cents:

The phrase "selfish opportunist" fits him well.

well i mean if someone paid you 3 million would you refuse it?

you could look at it from another angle and say that the payments were blackmail hush money or Sharpton would cause a fuss?

of what??
