Black Radio on Obama Is Left’s Answer to Limbaugh

The NY Times has an article on something called “black radio” as the answer to Rush Limbaugh during this election. Ever ready to create racial divisions, the Times makes it appear that “black radio” will negate Limbaugh and increase black votes for Obama.

From the article:

While debate may continue over whether Mr. Obama is drawing an inordinate share of attention from mainstream news and entertainment outlets, there is generally little pretense of balance in major African-American media outlets. More often than not, the Obama campaign is discussed as the home team.

And …

The favoritism extends beyond talk radio.
This month’s Ebony magazine lists Mr. Obama first among the “25 Coolest Brothers of All Time,” alongside Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. Caribbean stations play songs about him, like “Barack Obama” by Cocoa Tea and “Barack the Magnificent” by the calypso star Mighty Sparrow. “We spin them three, four times a day,” said Sir Rockwell, the morning D.J. at WDJA in Delray Beach, Fla.

Lest anyone get worried, the unfortunate fact for the NY Slimes is that the black vote has been in the bag for Democrats for decades and going from 95% of the black vote to 96% is not going to put Obama over the top.

The secret to the election will be who gets the “bitter clingers.” In that race, the gushing media may well find out that their over-the-top coverage is actually going to re-bound against Obama. Nobody likes a suck-up, especially the “bitter clingers.”
