30. "Starting Point" with Soledad O'brien is on M-F
Fri Aug 17, 2012, 08:26 PM
Aug 2012

@4 AM PT 5AM MT 6AM CT & 7AM ET on CNN.

We were just saying she was reminding us of old style Mike Wallace on 60min. "The Newsroom" might be egging her on but she's been like this for awhile. (love her eye roll)

CNN for awhile has been aiming their news programming for a more international audience. I say tape, dvr, or watch her so the ratings will go up. Being once in the music/media business I know how most networks are driven. "The Newsroom" (I love it I love it I love it) is truthful as far as corporate is concerned. I do not know how to cut paste etc., but you all need to look up yesterday's episode of "The Cycle" on MSNBC. Turre used Dr. Cornell West's adjective "niggerization" in relation to Rmoney camp saying "take your hate back to Chicago" & his point was coded racism. He spoke out yesterday (Turre), & today on TYT they showed his IMHO coerced apology. His job was on the line for speaking truth to power since the Rmoney camp went postal on MSNBC and with that, 24 hrs later, the apology.

WE NEED 2.0 before we sink as a society.
