"We keep seeing the same footage, over and over and over again, people wading through what must be diseased-ridden waters, trying to get somewhere, anywhere, and SO POOR, and SO BLACK and...uhh, surely that is bound to be something we will all be talking about."

Yeah, I'm not kidding.

Saying that we keep seeing the same photos of black people sounds pretty factual to me.

Then why demand a public apology. People seem to be more outraged at things because they think others will be outraged at it than because they're sincerely angry at it. It's so fucking stupid.

I'm not demanding an apology. I'm just saying surely the network will make him do so.

"surely he's gotta at least publicly apologize for this"


So he has to apologize to humor the rest of the media and all the stupid fucking 7 o clock news brief watchers that automatically believe whatever they're spoonfed, is what you mean.

I don't mind that either, but it's fucking ridiculous that he's going to go down at the hands of other newsmen.

Good thing it isn't a crime to say you're a fucking moron. It's amazing how one can get a post count so high consisting of nothing but trolling and an occasional link to some pussy shit or bad metal to preserve your cred. Fuck you.

If I had a beard like his I'd be showing it off 20 hours a day. It's a waste to keep such a beautiful mug out of the spotlight!

Not me. I never use that term, even if people use it in conversation with me referring to themselves or their community. It is a misnomer. and a load of horseshit as I see it.

Anyway, ol Wolf may go out like Cosell and Jimmy the Greek, but at least he was on Saddam's payroll once (allegedly)
