Those who wonder why Janine struggles need only read "Coverage of Obama and Ethnicity Says More About The Media." Her bad article certainly says a great deal about how far allegedly honest brokers will go to whore themselves out.
Bi-racial Barack is turned into "Black" by Janine Jackson. That's insulting and frightening enough but to see what a real whore the liar is you have to read the following:
Obama could also prove himself to be the right sort of black leader--the kind who places responsibility for black people’s problems largely with black people themselves--with an embrace of the Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind law. USA Today (1/6/09) draped the case in appropriately patronizing tones with the cringe-worthy "How to Turn Obama’s Success Into Gains for Black Boys":
"You can see the message on brick wall murals in inner cities: Yes we can. You can hear it in the music of Black Eyed Peas' frontman will.i.am: Yes we can.
"You can imagine hearing it pass the lips of thousands of black mothers, perhaps after awakening their sons early to complete homework before they head off to school, just as President-elect Barack Obama’s mother did: Yes you can."
Black mothers encouraging their children? Just imagine!
Where above does Janine Jackson say one word about sexism? Women's roles, their only visible roles, for Janine is as mothers who birth men. "Sons" are not "children." "Sons" are male children. That and the absence of daughters doesn't even register with Janine Jackson. An alleged media critic, one not swinging that fat and tired ass for Barry, would take a moment to note that. But Janine has no time for that. Just like FAIR, during the Democratic Party primaries, had no time to call out sexism.
In May, as the primaries wound down, this was the only critique of sexism FAIR (in any of its forms) offered of sexism on display during the primaries:
CNN viewers were treated to one pundit explanation that people might call Hillary Clinton a bitch because well isn't that just what some women are.
That is their critique of sexism in full.
To underscore how damn little sexism means to them, Janine shows up babbling like an airhead, unable to grasp the sexism in the passage she herself quotes. Unable to grasp it, unable to care.
That doesn't merit a Katrina because it's not just stupid. It doesn't merit a Bronze Booby because it's far more than embarrassing and shameful. It's damaging and whore is the only term to describe Janine Jackson.
Congratulations Janine for actions so despicable we had to invent a new category. Along with the award, we offer you a tip, before you speak in public, be sure to wipe the cum off your lips.
