pressed associations

Yo, on the real, I wanted to post something else. I mean I still have Recess-is-on and this Billy I wrote a few weeks ago called pomegranate p***y. But I will drop them sooner or latter. Any how, I’d like to thank my folk at Bucknaked politics and Poor and stupid for the impetus for this. I mean, I read blogs, not just so-called black blogs. The problem is that politics to me is more than just the Election and Barack Obama.

As such, a blogger that is, the media serves a major role in how I get mad at shit and re-evaluate what they regurgitate to me under the auspice of news and information.

If you aint heard, the Associated Press (AP) has decided to give the business to bloggers who reference (not publish) their news reports. Even direct quotes from folks that they don’t even own – LOL.

The way I see it, they should be happy folks linking to they bitch ass on line because it increases their exposure. Nothing I write comes from them with the exception of stories I may get from them that I provide a direct link to their site.

But again this is the age of the fk boy or as one blogger called it the bitch man, for they are complaining about DIRECT quotes ranging from 39 to 79 words – a paragraph. I just don’t see why they get to make or define what fair versus excessive usage is? The AP aint the courts and last I heard the courts define laws and not a single media conglomerate. I just say face it folk, this is the new media jones. Yawl basically obsolete with the exception of quote feeding. I mean that’s what yawl do for them 1500 plus newspapers yawl get loot from. I’d figured they would be better served exposing the 2 U.S. senators, the two former Cabinet members, and the former ambassador to the United Nations who got point waived and lender fee waived loans from Countrywide Financial. But why pick on Senators Christopher Dodd (chairman of the Banking Committee) and Kent Conrad, of North Dakota (chairman of the Budget Committee and a member of the Finance Committee) , or former U.N. ambassador and assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke when big fish like no named bloggers can be thrown in the frying pan? But then again, what do I know?

Folk: I need that stack, if u aint heard Celtics won
