Jimmy Dore reviews an interview that went on Fox 8 news with a rock star called Boots Riley. Fox 8 to declines to air the interview. Follow Jimmy on Twitter: ...
stupid comments like the one below mine irritate me. It's makes me realize
how stupid you are to try and make that point. Which then makes me look at
myself to see if I've ever done something that stupid. I fucking hate
myself because of people like you.
Wow, the guy who runs this show is a dipshit. Sitting there and chuckling
like a teenage boy telling fart jokes, about a person he doesn't know
talking about a concept he could never comprehend.
This is a great example of how corporate media sets narrow parameters for
political discourse. You can't even be a Marxist on television unless
you've been brought on specifically to reinforce the status quo by using
you as a prop to make your ideas seem crazy.
Boots Riley isn't a rock star. He's dabbled in and collaborated WITH rock
music/rock stars, but he's a founding member and emcee of the underground
hip-hop group, "The Coup".
I was thinking the same thing lol! Boots isn't a "Rock Star", but rather a Hip-Hop artist and activist. Still can't believe that he was on Fox News of all places, and they failed to do any kind of research HILARIOUS, LMAO!!!!
They got it right the first time, then someone called him a rock star for no reason. Hip-hop artists have a history of counter-culture anti-establishment views as well, it's not like calling him a "rock star" somehow made that point stronger.Still, what do you expect from a bunch of old white dudes?
