There is sad news in Hollywood today. Paul Newman has died at the age of 83.
Paul Newman was a great actor, and had been in entertainment since the 1950’s, made 50 films, was on television and performed in the theater. He was of a generation that could act in all the formats, [...]
In My Name - Will.i.am, celebrities, dignitaries, and you around the world
Written by Michael Vass
I realize that over the last couple of weeks the main issue facing the nation has been the bailout of the financial markets, and the mortgage crisis that spurred it. But that is hardly the only thing that has been happening in the world, or this nation.
While the major news media has [...]
The bail out deal: Polispeak and political campaigning instead of action
Written by Michael Vass
I love listening to Harry Reid. He is absolutely partisan and 2-faced. He is the best example of what polispeak means. Listening to hear him talk today you just can’t escape this.
He is speaking about Republicans that didn’t want to go to the meeting at the White House yesterday, but he has [...]

Written by Michael Vass
In August of 2007 I wrote a post highlighting my disgust at the major news media. That feeling of absolute sickness came from the fact that the major news media could not bear to spend a moment of time to discuss a travesty in the American legal system.
I said in that post

Tyler Perry helping more families than Congress right now
Written by Michael Vass
I have often said that the major news media gives short shrift to celebrities and entertainers that are doing the right thing. With all the media swirling around the mortgage bailout plans, you might think that all other news has been thrown to the wayside but that would be untrue.
A casual look [...]
Senator Obama speaks as financials fail
Written by Michael Vass
Today the economy is the big issue in the Presidential race. That’s not to say that the Presidential candidates weren’t paying attention to that before, it’s just that they are panicking to look strong now.
“The Fed has been providing banks extra money to ensure their solvency, but not requiring that loan [...]
Reuters slaps Oprah Winfrey over donations
Written by Michael Vass
When it comes to entertainers and African Americans the major news media really can’t say a positive thing. In fact when they do, you virtually always find any positive surrounded by or minimized by negatives. It’s disgusting.
Let me give you an example.
The worst example that was readily available is the news on [...]
September 11 - seven years ago and now
Written by Michael Vass
In less than 8 hours America will be observing the 7th anniversary of 9/11. The attacks that day were the worst in American history, and many of us can still recall where we were as the planes hit the Pentagon and the Twin Towers.
Politicians have used 9/11 as a weapon and shield [...]

Now on the left, especially the far-left, Bill O’Reilly is seen as the fanatical face of the [...]
Frenchman disses 24 and American movies
Written by Michael Vass
Well here is a strange thought. A French man is complaining about America. Your shock must be intense.
To be more exact the complaint against America is about the movie studio, 20th Century Fox I believe, which helped to fund and distribute the movie Babylon A.D. The French man is Mathieu Kassovitz. If [...]
