TV One plans to cover Obama — but not McCain
TV One will cover the Democratic National Convention because — and only because — the party's nominee is black.
And yet, oddly enough, some of the people who will be involved in that coverage took umbrage at the suggestion that the cable/satellite network is, um, covering the Democratic National Convention only because the nominee is Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
"Yes, Sen. Obama running for president is a huge deal at TV One, as it is in the African-American community," said Johnathan Rodgers, the CEO of the network that, in his words, "targets African-American adults."
Will San Fran Nan's "Fairness Doctrine" keep things like this from happening?
Ummmmm.......I'm gettin' a NO.
