Fuck You News People.
Apparently, Ed Bradley has died.
As a result, we are getting news feeds and "special reports" concerning the life and works of a news reporter and what a special guy he was.
Approximately 1500 people die from cancer, in the United States alone, each day
Why am I hearing about this guy?
For God sakes, he looked toward a camera and read a teleprompter. When he wasn't doing that, we was reading (or, gasp, perhaps recalling from memory) questions that were written out for him before hand while pausing to make that "I am pondering your answer" head nod all "live interview" newscasters do.
How about the single mother of two who took the bus to the local Friday's in some back-water hole to earn some extra cash to pay the rent and had to try to catch forty-five minutes of sleep next to the loud-mouth on the cell phone because she had to report to her riveting job at 5:30 the morning who just died of lung cancer because her employer wouldn't give the proper NIOSH recommended protections?
What about her, or the 1,498 other people who died today?
Because Bradley was a "media figure" he is given special treatment?
Fuck You News People.

Wow, talk about bitterness. That is above and beyond hatred for MSM
This has nothing to do with the MSM, just the royal treatment he is given.
He was a groundbreaking African American journalist. It is not wrong to celebrate his acheivments.
If that was what they are celebrating, I would be fine with it. However, this is just like when Bill Beutel died. Just a bunch of people bemoaning the fact that one of "their own" has died with no apparent recognition for the fact that people die every day.
wow... you think it is for real?
Gee... I could really use an extra $800 a month.
Moreover, $800 a month does not seem to be such an outlandish figure so as to make the offfer seem impossible.
However, I wonder why an anonymous person would be bestowing such an opportunity on a total stranger.
I am so torn!!!
I think it is legit, those Nigerian Princes need a lot of help in this new world order.
The real question is what about this recent post triggered his filter? Must be the vulgarity.
You are probably right about that. I suppose the vulgarity does bespeak a lower level of intelligence.
That and the clear right wing politics you support. :-)
You are on the wrong post. The prior one is the one for that.
BTW... did you see my mysterious commenter?
