Anyone notice that African American voices have been silenced by MSNBC just

ahead if the election season? Is it intentional or coincidental? People who no longer have a voice there or have been minimized and replaced with idiots from Morning Joe include....Micheal Eric Dyson, Joe Madison, Joy Reid, Melissa Harris Perry, Al Sharpton, and some I cannot recall right now. Maybe, I am seeing too into the corporate glass ceiling, but something stinks. Some of the reason the genie is out of the bottles on the right and they cannot get him back in is the result of this kind of manipulation, for which MSNBC is also playing a part. Just wondering!

They have also shut down those African American radio shows that galvanized the electorate for Obama in massive numbers

Warren Ballentine
Michael Baisden
Working on Tom Joyner

Radio shows that African Americans listen to faithfully. There also some liberal talk show host who have been eliminated. Bill Press has been pushed off the scene, still going though. Their attempts took time but now you see it all falling into place. Damn! Damn! Damn! They caught us sleeping!

It is pretty obvious they are keeping them off air. MSNBC has become Fox lite these days. Between Joe S. and Mika who is "kept in her place" by the boys on that show and Rev. Sharpton relegated to the back burner time slot. They have become a mouthpiece for Trump, he doesn't have to buy any time, they give him the whole day.

Harris Perry and Joy have been off air for a while. I think corporate America has taken over the last bastion of liberal media and want Trump in office.

I hope Black America realizes what is being done and speaks out.

“Tom’s show has always been about community activism, education and social justice and he played a major part in helping President Obama get elected. They felt that the end of Obama’s term would be the ideal time for him to also leave.”

merely manipulating the news to fit their needs. Once again we the people are left totally out of the system.

I have news for them. I have not even turned my tv or radio on for the last 3 months. Why bother?
