NBC News Launches An African American News Site

[Blue_Tires]

NBC News and Three Part Media LLC have teamed to launch TheGrio.com, a "video centric news site" aimed at the African American community.

The site will aggregate related video and news stories from NBC News, O&Os, affiliates and msnbc.com, as well as feature contributors like Rev. Al Sharpton.

The Website's managing editor is David Wilson, who was profiled in an MSNBC documentary last year. Ford Motor Company has signed on as the exclusive sponsor during the Website's launch.

Pimp My News.

5. Perhaps at some point, they'll want to use it as a way to spread their propaganda.....

after all, it has proven very difficult to sway Black Folks into not supporting this President. I'm sure this gets frustrating for those corporate media channels. That's how I see it.

6. We'll have to wait and see if this is just another opportunity

to sell a bill of goods to the black community. I'll certainly be lookin out! LOL!
