We're reminded of that all too often.
Maybe it's time for some rules or regulations?
For example, if you don't know the topic, maybe you shouldn't do a podcast about it?
Olayemi
Olurin is a podcaster and, unlike so many, she does the work required.
So maybe when -- BLACK POWER MEDIA, we are looking at you -- you put
three men on to jump the non-present Olay, maybe that's a sign that your
podcast shouldn't have happened. Not only did they not understand the
argument Olay was making, they presented her as a partisan. Olay does
not vote in US elections. Not only did they not understand her
argument, they didn't know who she was or that BPM's Renee Johnstone had
already Tweeted in praise of the article.
Maybe when three men want to attack a woman, that's your first sign that you've got a problem.
A second sign?
Briahna Joy Gray.
As podcaster or as guest?
Yes.
Both.
She's
worthless. She had her hissy fit with Kyle (and with Krystal) where
she turned her body away from both of them and pretended she was being
prevented from answering. Her wordy pretense took more time than her
measly answer. She's an idiot and she's a joke. The meeting of the
non-minds -- Bri-Bri and Sabby Sabs -- always seemed destined to be and
no one was surprised when the two of them teamed up to lie about
Marianne Williamson. It was so bad that THE VANGUARD felt the need to
call Sabby Sabs out. For those who missed it, Marianne Williamson,
candidate for Democratic Party's presidential nomination was kind enough
to go on REVOLUTIONARY BLACKOUT at Sabby's request. Where, as THE
VANGUARD noted in their critique, she was attacked. She was not allowed
to speak. She was ambushed and it was planned by the male members of
RBN. It was so bad that after Marianne ended her part of the interview,
Sabby was shaking her head and lecturing the "guys" about how bad that
makes them look.
But
there was Sabby pretending otherwise with Bri about how great that
interview had gone and how they had held Marianne accountable. Bri was
all over it, though THE VANGUARD boys couldn't call Bri out.
Bri
is a joke. She's a mascot for White people who want to feel 'radical' by
pretending to 'hang' with people of color. Until bonding with Sabby,
Bri was the equivalent of a crossover artist trying to ignore other
people of color. How White is Bri-Bri? This is a woman who did
multiple podcasts on . . . SEX AND THE CITY. It doesn't get any Whiter,
it just doesn't.
Bri's
known for her political tantrums. They tend to explain her constant
relocation and her forever disintegrating alliances.
Mainly, though, they explain her failures.
This week, she had US House Rep Ro Khanna on her BAD FAITH (perfect title) podcast.
Why?
To make nice with him? To play footsie?
He repeated the lie that October 7th saw mass rapes of Israeli women while Hamas carried out its attack.
Yes, Bri did push back on it. In a really pathetic manner.
And
he pushed back on her pushback, insisting that Antonio Guterres, the
Secretary-General of the United Nations, had said the rapes took place.
No.
No, he did not.
Instead
of forcefully addressing this, Bri-Bri turned shy and bashful and
accommodating insisting it could be hard to keep track of with all the
media's misinformation.
Excuse
the f**k out of us? He is a member of Congress and he is repeating
lies in front of you on your program and you're not holding him
accountable.
And
your excuses are embarrassments. A member of Congress isn't your Uncle
Ro watching FOX "NEWS." There's a higher standard that a member of
Congress should have to meet.
There's no point in having members of Congress on your program if you're not going to hold them accountable.
She's just as useless when she's a guest.
She was on THE VANGUARD recently and Long Hair explained he hadn't been following a topic. "Cornel West has been repeatedly throwing the Green Party under the bus. I don't have all the details from behind the scenes so I cannot speak," Long Hair insisted before speaking at length.
Shocker.
We should let that sink in, right?
He
never follows topics. He and his idiot co-host are a joke. They get
facts wrong on everything. Serious topics, light topics, entertainment
trivia, whatever. They can't nail down anything and should have stopped
trying long ago.
It
was cute a week or so back when they tried to 'explain' Cornel West.
They're a little sad. They should be a lot sad because they promoted
him and they're still lying about him. Lying for him. It was cute the
way his People's Party presidential nomination was dismissed as some
sort of unexplainable event.
Cornel
explained it on BLACK POWER MEDIA months ago and we covered it in real
time. The People's Party came to him and Chris Hedges. They wanted
them to be the candidates for their presidential ticket -- Cornel at the
top of the ticket. Chris' wife said "no" so Chris didn't end up on the
ticket. But this was all organized and planned. Yes, serial
plagiarist Chris Hedges lied and pretended otherwise in 'reports' he
wrote at the time.
But was
Cornel lying? Either Cornel lied about it (he didn't lie about it) or
the whole thing was a scam that Chris was part of.
VANGUARD
bois never tell the truth so they pretend like it didn't happen. And
no one rallies to Jared Ball's side to praise him for the interview
because he's made a fool out of himself in recent months.
We
really do not care who you vote for. We have stated that we are voting
for the Democratic Party nominee whomever that might be. We have
explained why. We made that announcement when we knew that's what we
were going to do because it's something that we felt requires
disclosure. It has no shaped our coverage. We have held Marianne, Joe
Biden and Dean Phillips accountable -- even crazy Kennedy Junior was
held accountable when he was running for the Democratic Party's
presidential nomination.
Hypocrisy, thy name is THE VANGUARD.
Marianne
goes on some interview with the Islamist Bill Maher who is also a
transphobe. He makes his transphobic remarks. Marianne does not push
back.
And THE VANGUARD bois?
Praise
Marianne for her silence. This was masterful and amazing and she just
ignored it, they insisted, allowing her to avoid being trapped in the
conversation.
Defending the basic rights of a group of people repeatedly targeted is being trapped?
If you can't defend a group under attack, you shouldn't be running for president.
And if you applaud a craven move by a politician as 'three dimensional chess,' you're not an honest broker.
Way too many podcasters have nothing to offer but hypocrisy. And there are way too many podcasters. Back in 2016, AMERICAN DAD had an episode entitled "The Dentist's Wife" (written by Charles Suozzi). In it, Francine informed Roger that dentist wife Meredith "runs the best book club in town." Roger replied, "Pfft. Book club. I pretend skied in Switzerland." Francine countered, "And she runs a charity to raise awareness." Roger shot back, "Pfft, charities. It's all about podcasts these days." And that was true.
In
2016.
Eight years later, surveying the landscape, it's obvious that
far too many people just aren't qualified to be doing podcasts and killing the need for podcasts in the process.
Obvious and getting more and more obvious each and every day.
