apparently, some media are more equal than others

High-ranking House Democrats are urging the Treasury Department to prop up minority-owned broadcasters suffering from a lack of capital and lost advertising revenue amid the economic slump.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is leading an effort to convince Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to take “decisive action” by extending credit to this sector of the broadcasting industry.

That is blatantly reverse discrimination but perfectly acceptable in this New World Order of Obama.

There is no such thing as reverse discrimination.

This is blatant racism. Period.

You're correct, it is actually blatant racism. But far too many honestly believe that racism can only be experienced by "African-Americans", and not by "European-Americans." I think a big part of the problem is that far too many people in this country identify themselves as hyphenated-Americans instead of just Americans. That practice is very polarizing and continues to reinforce the differences rather than the commonalities.

It's unfortunate that the D seem to have pitched any semblance of integrity or fairness, not to mention that dusty old Constitution, in favor of winning at all costs.

As Stalin said, "Why should I debate my enemies when I can destroy them?"

The difference between democrat party leadership and communist party leadership is diminishing daily.
