		<description>we had a black CNN. it was sold out for booty music because booty music makes more money than news, apparently.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;i&#039;m WAY more concerned about soft-news and no-news than I am about conservative viewpoints.</description>

		<description>SquarePeg:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When Tom DeLay became Majority Whip, that&#039;s when Watts split the scene.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;DeLay pretty much told him he&#039;d be nothing more than water carrier for the ReThugs.  The Bugman was the one denying Watts those plum committee assignments that had been promised to him by Hastert and others for fronting for the GOP.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I personally lost respect for Watts when the Mark Foley Pedophile Page Scandal broke, and this clown was on Fox Network actually trying to defend his ass preying upon teenage pages.</description>

		<description>Remember what J.C.

		<description>Its a service that is long over due and needed since Bob &#039;booty shaking&#039; Johnson axed the news on BET, which was not the highest caliber show, but, better than the nothing that is here now. That said, I doubt if it would be picked up by most cable outlets, other than ones with large African Americans in the viewing area, which means, many of us who live in parts of the country with a small AA population would not see it, like mine where there is no TV ONE and my calls to the cable company, no demand for it. But, in the end, I say give it a try, if the numbers are low due to a right win freak show, it will be dropped, if its fair and shows both sides, it might have a chance to survive, after all Hispanics and Asians have their own news that thrive.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;With all due respect, I say let the black viewing audience decide if this idea viable. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If BTNC turns out to be a &quot;Fox News for da &#039;Hood&quot; remix AND viewers find the content objectionable, it won&#039;t stay on the air.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I agree.  Atlanta and Chicago are excellent markets for informative, inclusive and positive television programming by and for Black people.  If it starts to sell Black buffoonery, coonery or thuggery, it won&#039;t last.</description>

		<description>I think it would be wonderful to have a network where black conservatives and liberals, republicans and democrats, domestic and international discussed the news of the day that affects us and to a greater extent the world given that we do make up a large block of the population.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Black people are not the same everywhere, we are rich, we are struggling, we come from nuclear families, we come from single part homes or grow through extended family environments.  We are business people, athletes, entertainers, doctors, lawyers, farmers, shift workers, service professionals.    To just focus on one point of view would be a disservice to our races and the others that tune in.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So while I respect the poster who wrote:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;The right-wing conservatives have been trying to a least a decade to chip away at the black voting bloc to try and persuade some of us to vote Republican, even if it is against our own self-interest, by appealing to the selfishness of the me, me, me that is so prevalent in the Republican Party.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I think having a channel where black people on both sides discuss their positions will get us past accepting such absolutes for our race.  I am not defined by Al Sharpton or Michael Steele but I think both arguments should be heard. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And if they could get Condi in a debate with Tubbs-Jones, I would love it.</description>
