    Has Television Lost Its Color?

    Commentary:  On the Media


    Has Television Lost Its Color?

    this is an npr audio report on  the lack of "characters of color" . the discusstion follows an     EW.com article http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20206185_5,00.html
    i think this discussion superbly shows the pathetic mindset of current black intelligentsia that works in mainstream media, yes npr is still part of the mainstream. its all about how the "jobs for persons of color" are drying up. okay, these are "media experts", but aside from discussing network and cable tv in america, no discussion of internet media channels, or bringing programming in from overseas or forming a global black consortium of actors/producers to make original content. and all this "diversity" bs.... fair skinned latinos have access to multiple channels of programming in this country, in some markets unlike black folks, who chose not to create vibrate, independent industries and gave their wealth away and wait for the jobs to show up.  not quite  the same situation.   just a bunch of corporate employees talking about why there arent more house slaves in the plantation.

    News & Notes , July 4, 2008 · Long gone are the days of The Cosby Show and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. More recent shows like Girlfriends and All of Us have ended their runs, as well.

    Has TV been whitewashed?

    That's a question Entertainment Weekly magazine asked a few weeks ago, with a special report titled "Why Is TV So White?"

    We dig into the question with three people who keep a keen eye on media and its cultural impact: Eric Deggans, TV and media critic for the St. Petersburg Times; Miki Turner, entertainment writer for MSNBC.com; and Melanie McFarland, TV editor for IMDB.com.
