...The One-Minute Pundit

Thursday, January 13, 2005


I'd have mentioned this yesterday, but the FREDDIE THE FREELOADERS OF MOUNTAIN VIEW wouldn't let me; happily NRO gives me an excuse. To wit: stories like this are wearisome. Essence's readers and [C]RAP fans are two different audiences. And even if we buy the argument that this is parents speaking to children, we know all too well that RUPERT!!!!!!!!!! and SUMNER and the membership of THE RECORDED-MUSIC CONSPIRACY are kids' true parents now. Moreover it's too easy for news hacks to get into THEIR GLIBERAL MODE and CHORTLECHORTLECHORTLE about PRUDES. (Never mind most blacks aren't REPUBLICANS.) And as I said yesterday, reform is impossible in a business that is plaintiff, defendant, prosecutor, defense attorney, judge and jury in one. I am very sympathetic to Essence's cause -- not least because [C]RAP is unmitigated JUNK -- but I have no illusions this will succeed, for SUCCESS IN SHOW-BIZ IS ALWAYS MEASURED BY DOLLAR SIGNS, and PARENTS AREN'T CONTROLLING THEM.
