Quick Shock: The Medium Is The Message

"Our prisons are overflowing with gang members, gangsta rappers are daily being shot dead in the streets, the media continues to mindlessly pander to a hateful, violent and criminal gang culture that lays us all low . . .

. . . and on a Sunday night Fox opens Game 2 of the World Series with a partial number by Eminem and 50 Cent, a number that in full includes unprintable vulgarities, glorified references to weapons and shootouts, the word "nigga" and the requisite designation of women as "bitches."

Two weeks earlier, Fox fired Steve Lyons for a perceived ethnic crack."

The media panders because the panderees vote the Democratic ticket. Brothers to the cause.
