To krazeeinjun:

That’s pretty good, but you forgot the Council Member who hates Asians.

krazeeinjun Says:
My fertile imagination conjures up an image of what exactly is a “diversity council.”

Council Member #1: hates blacks

Council Member #2: hates jews

Council Member #3: hates gays

Council Member #4: hates latinos

Council Member #5: hates liberals

Council Board Chairman: hates ‘em all

That’s putting lipstick on a pig. It is not what they say they will do but what they actually do. Does anybody really expect Fox to change? Their niche is to keep the flames of hatred going. No amount of lipstick can cover this up.

I can predict what the diversity council at News Corp will be like: the various department admin assistants, and other low level employees, will get together to do flyers, posters, and to plan a “diversity lunch” were they will serve ethnic foods to symbolize their support for various groups. The managers and news readers will show up and eat and be gone in 15 minutes. They will then congratulate each other on their support for diversity and never give it a another thought.

RE – dbadass Says: “I’m melting”….

MY COMMENT: LOL! That photo/image does remind me of the Wicked Witch of the West™ melting (or a vampire caught in the sunlight)!

FROM WIKIPEDIA: “Wicked Witch of the West”

(EXCERPT) Another notable quotation, when Dorothy accidentally threw water on her, was “You cursed brat! Look what you’ve done! I’m melting! Melting! Oh, what a world, what a world! Who would’ve thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? I’m gone! I’m gone! I’m going!”

“Diversity community council”—-Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to put lipstick on chimpanzee cartoon controversy?

There’s not enough lipstick in the world to pretty-up what Murdoch has done to the field of journalism, nor what he has done to our democracy, nor what he, and his corrupt conservative outlets, have done to truth and honesty.

Andrew, what is your point in your headline “Barack Obama is the greatest, and he must be treated with respect.” followed by a harangue about how we have to be very scared of Presidential power abuse? The two things seem so disconnected – care to elaborate?

The company will form a “diversity community council” in New York City that will meet with senior company executives twice a year, NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said Wednesday. It also will include a statement of commitment to diversity in its annual report.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Murdoch and News Corp just don’t get it! The cartoon suggested
the assassination of a sitting President of the United States, who was legally elected by a plurality of the vote. A “diversity community council” is a joke. The cartoon was an affront to the very fundamentals of our system of government.

As far as I am concerned Murdoch is a traitor to this country and no apology or “diversity community group” can change this fact.

Murdoch is a traitor to his country.
