chatham harrison is tending a new garden: It should be perfectly normal to talk about politics on a major non-political platform when a political program is designed to take over so much of our lives. Some will call this extremism, but it's pure citizenship.

“Taraji P. Henson made Project 2025 the talk of the BET Awards. The host of this year's BET Awards warned viewers on multiple occasions about the far-right plan to dismantle and remake the government in Trump's image.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Taraji P. Henson made Project 2025 the talk of the BET Awardswww.msnbc.com The draconian plan supported by conservative groups to dismantle the government if Donald Trump is elected was the talk of the Black Entertainment Television Awards.

context: the owners and executives of major news platforms consistently reject any public interest ethic in favor of distracting & deluding infotainment. & then came Trump & a collapse of GOP & chamber of commerce resistance to the fash right

That's why something like this can be so effective. Literally taking control of the microphone. BET Awards aren't a big enough stage by themselves but it's a damned start.

Hope to see something similar on MTV and Nickelodeon (is that still a thing?). I recall MTV not shying away from politics.

MTV deleted their news page archives

Oh, right. Damn that blows! I don’t even know what’s aired on the channel anymore. Haven’t watched MTV in yrs.

i left it in the mid 90s. they're just a spam channel anymore, forcing cable subscribers to fund it

I miss TRL and music videos

Headbangers Ball, Saturday night concert specials, and all the various electronica bands they'd play
