CORRECTION: Roland Martin Edition!
;)
Click to enlarge.Yesterdiddy in my story on what's up with MSNBC not letting black people fail at TV shows as much as they let white people fail at TV shows in light of Keith Olbermann getting the ol' heave-ho I listed my fair Roland Martin among the list of black people CNN who had shows even though the shows didn't make it to MLK's "promise land." (Or by dying terrible deaths ... did they?) Anyway, CORRECTION! Roland Martin, my favorite person in the whole wide world, all blue seas and all of the green earths, heaven and Bezeabulb's Playpen, did not have a show on CNN. He just filled in for Campbell Brown back when her show was something old people used as background noise during their naps to drown out how the absence of children has filled their life both loneliness and ... quite strangely, peace.
Therefore, apologizes, to Mr. Martin, my most favorite, most handsomest and valued reader! Let be know, henceforth in Snobland, on the days you hosted the Titanic it was just a quarter in. It went the full "I'll never let you go"/Damn-Kate-let-Leonardo-DiCaprio-freeze-to-death-and-drown route on Campbell's watch.
corrections, media, roland martin, the snob

I am sure "Brotha Baby Hair" will appreciate your retraction.

Spell check should be your BFF.
Sorry, but Roland Martin does not have the moxie to hose a major tv show.
Really Sammy? So who does? Surely NOT Piers or Larry-never-knew-how-to-look-at-the-camera-but-I-got-a-long-lasting-job-at-cnn-King? Loud & obnoxious women who have evening shows about female child abusers on cnn? Nutty people who have annoying chatty shows on fix news,cbs, abc, nbc, etc.? Who does Sammy? Not to mention barbara-I-also-faked-the-media-and-the-viewers-walters!
Why the sarcasm? I still think you're just hatin'on Roland. Don't fret. One day you'll get to guest host a show too.
@ K
Roland and I have a long, long history which the sarcasm is based on, which began with him yelling at me back in 2008 for calling him an Obama supporter when a few weeks later he came out as an Obama supporter. So it's not so much "hating." It's more "I find it absurd that Roland Martin, who is very successful, took the time out to reach me, who has no TV show, back when my blog only had five readers."
My larger point is, Roland Martin is too big to fight with folks on Twitter. Especially folks much smaller than him. But, you know? Whatever. I appreciate the page views.
Point taken. And about the page views: my pleasure. I like reading your blog.
