So Who is 'News'worthy in the Mornings?

Ahhh..the news! We read it, watch it, live it...hell..we are it! I love getting my daily does of current events. I dont know about you but I prefer to start my mornings off with a good dose of news. While some people prefer radio and others to read the paper. For me, it's NBC's "Today Show".

Although I haven't completely warmed up to Meredith and I think the show is way overdue a black lead anchor, I am still a faithful watcher. As long as Al Roker remains, I really can't be mad. Yeah he's a little goofy at times. But it could easily be a white goofy man in his place. Like Willard Scott!!!


Every now and then I like to check out the other morning shows just to see who is on there representin'. ABC's "Good Morning America",has the effervescent Robin Roberts as third anchor. I have to admit, had I not been a faithful Today Show watcher I'd probably make the switch to watch Ms. Robin.



And over at CBS, "The Early Show's" Russ Mitchell adds some hue to this white-washed morning show.


CBS...don't you worry. We will find you some real black folks yet. Just you wait until my television show is ready for production. I am going to demand that it airs on CBS.

But..CBS is not nearly as bad as Fox. Fox's morning show is called "Fox & Friends". This morning show is hosted by not 1, not 2 but 3 white people. Talk about wanting your morning coffee light! No asian, hispanic or african american anchors out there in need of a job Fox? I thought that was the case. You might want to change that morning show title to 'Fox and White Friends".


Not sure if CW11 or My9 has a morning show. But I'm gonna need someone to create an all black anchored morning show asaNOW!

What you think? Would it last?

Speaking of the news, I would like to extend my prayers to the Magassa family and all who are suffering right now as a result of the 8 lives taken in that tragic fire in the Bronx. This story is heart wrenching.

God Bless.
