This is interesting. Imagine if Hip Hop (and Nas) had been acting like this ALL DECADE! Now is the time for the hip hop movement to stand up for media independence. UPSET THE SETUP
Hip hop star Nas will join members of ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org on Wednesday to deliver 620,127 petition signatures demanding that FOX end its pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans including presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. The group will make the delivery at 2:00pm on Wednesday, July 23rd at FOX in Manhattan.
PETITION DELIVERY EVENT DETAILSWho: Hip Hop artist Nas, ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org members in New York City
Where: FOX Headquarters, 1211 Ave. of the Americas, Manhattan (48th St. between 6th & 7th Aves.)
When: Wednesday, July 23rd, 2:00pm
What: Nas joins ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org members to present over 600,000 petition signatures demanding that FOX stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.
“FOX poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news,” said Nas. He caught ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org’s attention with a new song called Sly Fox, which has lyrics like, “Watch what you watchin’, FOX keeps feeding us toxins, Stop sleeping, Start thinking” and “I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth/Not the biased truth/Not the liar’s truth/But the highest truth.” Nas’s new album called [Untitled] was released last week.

Hooray for Nas, Color of Change.org, Move On.org and the 620,126 other people who, like me signed the petition against Fox News amd its not so sly, racists innuendos. In the bad old days it was called ‘Yellow Journalism”; amazing how some things never seem to change
