|
NOW, A PANEL OF JOURNALISTS DISCUSS MEDIA COVERAGE OF RACIAL ISSUES, INVOLVING THE REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT.... |
| 00:00:35 |
|
WE HAVE AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION HERE TODAY. THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET HERE EARLY,... |
| 00:01:13 |
|
HELLO. [APPLAUSE] I AND THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN RADIO. MY NAME IS TOM JOYNER. |
| 00:01:27 |
|
IT FEELS LIKE I'M AT A CONCERT, NOT A PANEL. AND A TV AND MEDIA CRITIC FOR "THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES",... |
| 00:01:44 |
|
ON THE HARDEST WORKING PRIEST. [LAUGHTER] FATHER MIKE FLEGPFLEGER, SINCE ABYDOS CHURCH. |
| 00:01:57 |
|
AND THE HARDEST WORKING HOST. |
| 00:02:04 |
|
IT'S ON NOW. |
| 00:02:09 |
|
AND THE HARDEST WORKING HOST WITH SHORT HAIR. I'M MICHELLE MARTIN, HOST OF A SHOW ON NPR. [APPLAUSE]... |
| 00:02:18 |
|
I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE WORKING. [LAUGHTER] , BUT YOU'RE REPRESENTING "THE RITZ -- I'M UP HERE REPRESENTING... |
| 00:02:35 |
|
FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING AT YOUR PROGRAM WONDERING WHERE IS SUZANNE, I'M NOT HURT. PUT YOUR SEAT BELTS... |
| 00:04:05 |
|
I MIGHT BE IN THE MINORITY ON THIS, BUT I DO NOT THINK THE GAME HAS CHANGED THAT MUCH AT ALL. THE... |
| 00:06:39 |
|
I WANT TO GET JIMMY AND, ON THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS INTERESTING GOING ON.... |
| 00:07:09 |
|
THE REASON I TIE IT TO HER IS BECAUSE I THINK THE JENA ORGANIZING ALL OF THE EXACT SAME PATTERN. ... |
| 00:07:26 |
|
THE PROBLEM WITH THE MEGAPHONE EFFECT, CERTAINLY AS IT INVOLVES THE BLOGOSPHERE, IS VERY OFTEN THE... |
| 00:08:27 |
|
I THINK ALL OF YOU HAVE IT WRONG. AND I'M USED TO IT. IT IS THE POWER OF BLACK RADIO. RADIO HAS ALWAYS... |
| 00:10:27 |
|
CAN I JUST INTERRUPT AND INTERJECT SOMETHING RESPECTFULLY? ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MEDIA... |
| 00:11:07 |
|
BUT BEFORE JENA 6 GOT BLOGGED OR TALKED ABOUT ON MAINSTREAM RADIO, -- OR TALKED ABOUT IN MAINSTREAM... |
| 00:12:52 |
|
TOM, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOUR SAYING, BUT I THINK PART OF THIS IS HOW DID JENA MOVE... |
| 00:13:48 |
|
YOU HAVE BEEN A LONGTIME ACTIVIST HERE IN CHICAGO. AS TO THIS QUESTION, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BLOGOSPHERE,... |
| 00:14:13 |
|
I CERTAINLY LEARNED THE POWER OF YOUTUBE. [LAUGHTER] IN THE POWER OF WHITE PEOPLE THAT WATCH IT. BUT... |
| 00:15:58 |
|
YOU RAISE A NUMBER OF INTERESTING THINGS -- CONTEXT, THE POWER OF YOUTUBE. WHEN BROADCAST ORGANIZATIONS... |
| 00:16:43 |
|
THE GREAT THING ABOUT YOUTUBE, IS THAT IT IS A WIDE NET. WHEN ABC NEWS DID THEIR ORIGINAL STORY ABOUT... |
| 00:17:43 |
|
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN IT WAS HARD TO FIND AFTER A CERTAIN POINT THE SERVANTS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE... |
| 00:18:17 |
|
I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS INITIALLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF FEAR OVER WHAT ABC AND FOX REPORTED. PEOPLE... |
| 00:19:28 |
|
I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT THE TENSION THERE. IF SOMEONE TURNED IN TO TOMMY MORE, THERE WOULD HAVE HEARD... |
| 00:19:43 |
|
EVEN THOUGH I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT ERIC IS SAYING IS TRUE IN THAT THE STORY DOES CATCH UP WITH... |
| 00:22:31 |
|
MICHEL DESCRIBED THE BLOGOSPHERE AS AN ORGANIZING TOOL. DO YOU ACCEPT THAT DEFINITION? |
| 00:22:39 |
|
I ACCEPT IT AS ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS, BUT IT IS MORE LIKE A TOILET OF REIMS, BASICALLY. IT IS KIND... |
| 00:22:57 |
|
THAT IS CALLED ORGANIZING. |
| 00:23:01 |
|
YES, IT IS CALLED ORGANIZING, BUT THESE PEOPLE START OFF IN THEIR OWN LITTLE CAMPS AND BUILD A CONSENSUS.... |
| 00:23:41 |
|
WHO IS SUPPOSED TO FILTER? WITH THE BLOGOSPHERE, YOUR TRACK RECORD IS YOUR FILTER. YOU DEVELOP A REPUTATION... |
| 00:24:30 |
|
OBVIOUSLY, WE ALL LISTEN TO TIME, EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT AGAINST ME, BUT I THINK THAT'S TOM JOYNER... |
| 00:26:34 |
|
NOT EIGHT MILLION. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:26:39 |
|
BUT IN ANY GIVEN QUARTER HOUR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO EITHER ME OR BAZDEN... |
| 00:27:36 |
|
BUT THAT WASN'T THE AUDIENCE. THE AUDIENCE FOR THE CLIP WAS NOT GERMAN. YOU CAN SAFELY ASSUME MOST... |
| 00:28:01 |
|
THE EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE LISTENING TO YOU, TOM, TRUST YOU AND THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO HEAR SOME... |
| 00:29:02 |
|
I DON'T EXPECT MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO SERVE BLACK AMERICA. I'M NOT CONCERNED. I'M HERE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS.... |
| 00:29:42 |
|
I KNOW I'M GOING TO BE FORGIVEN. |
| 00:29:46 |
|
YOU KNOW, [LAUGHTER] I NOTICE SOMETHING NOW. EVERYBODY THAT HAS GOTTEN IN TROUBLE ABOUT STICKING UP... |
| 00:30:28 |
|
THEN IT WILL BE THE SECOND TERM. |
| 00:30:31 |
|
SO PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO COME TO US FOR US TO CLEAR IT UP IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT MAINSTREAM... |
| 00:31:06 |
|
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT IT'S MY JOB AND THE JOB OF A LOT OF US TO BE THAT BRIDGE, TO TRY AND EXPLAIN... |
| 00:31:57 |
|
THE FATHER AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY, AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IS CAN YOU SPEAK... |
| 00:33:11 |
|
I WANT TO GET BACK TO SOMETHING. YOU AND YOUR LISTENERS, BUT INGEDN'T GET PAST THE IDEA THAT BUZZ... |
| 00:34:07 |
|
JIM MI, HOW IS SHARING AN OPINION WITH SOMEONE TELLING THEM HOW TO THINK? |
| 00:34:13 |
|
I HAVE HEARD ON RADIO THEY ARE TRYING TO MOTIVATE THIS PERSON TO DO THIS, THAT OR A THIRD. GET A... |
| 00:34:27 |
|
OUR STORIES ARE ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC. ROSE SA PARKS WAS ONE OF A KIND, A PERSON KIND OF SELECTED FOR... |
| 00:35:12 |
|
WHAT I'M SAYING IS I THINK OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN HARMED. IN MY WORK I TRY TO ENCOURAGE READERS, LISTENERS,... |
| 00:35:43 |
|
I WOULD SAY REAL QUICK -- I WOULD SAY REAL QUICK THE PROBLEM -- |
| 00:35:45 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. |
| 00:35:47 |
|
I WOULD SAY THE PROBLEM I SEE IS THAT -- [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:35:51 |
|
IT'S HARD BUT FAIR. |
| 00:35:53 |
|
THE PROBLEM I SEE WITH THE FOCUS ON JESSIE AND AL, TOM SAID AL OFTEN HAS THE FACTS FIRST. AL OFTEN... |
| 00:36:45 |
|
I WANT TO ASK ANOTHER QUESTION HERE. WHILE I ASK THIS QUESTION I WANT TO INVITE PEOPLE WHO HAVE QUESTIONS... |
| 00:38:11 |
|
WE WERE BEING CHALLENGED BY THE PEOPLE TO SAY DO YOU HAVE TO WHISPER TRUTH, AND I'M NOT GOING TO WHISPER... |
| 00:38:46 |
|
WOW. |
| 00:38:49 |
|
AND NOT JUST -- THEY COME INVADE YOUR PRIVACY OF YOUR HOME, FAMILY. MY 96-YEAR-OLD A FATHER WHEN ... |
| 00:40:29 |
|
I WAS GOING TO SAY THE ONE THING THAT SEEMS KIND OF COUNTERINTUITIVE WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF... |
| 00:41:39 |
|
I WANT TO BRING THE AUDIENCE INTO THE DISCUSSION. CAN YOU PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF? |
| 00:41:44 |
|
THANKS. I'M A JOURNALISM PROFFESSOR AT GEORGE TOWN. FATHER, WHAT'S UP? I WAS WONDERING IF THE PANEL... |
| 00:42:53 |
|
TOM, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE THAT? |
| 00:42:58 |
|
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN JENA, LOUISIANA? 50,000. THEY WERE MOSTLY ON THE YOUNGER END OF THE DEMO.... |
| 00:43:49 |
|
MICHEL, I WANT TO BRING YOU IN. I WAS AT MY PARISH THAT DAY. TO GO TO THE QUESTION THE PROFFESSOR... |
| 00:44:11 |
|
I THINK TOM IS RIGHT ABOUT THAT. THAT'S ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, THERE... |
| 00:44:48 |
|
IS THE REALITY THAT PEOPLE PERHAPS HAVE A BROAD MEDIA DIET THAT THEY LISTEN TO -- |
| 00:44:55 |
|
YES, THEY DO. HOW DO THE PEOPLE GET THEIR INFORMATION? MAINSTREAM MEDIA. THEY USE IT, AMPLIFY IT,... |
| 00:45:36 |
|
WHEN WE WANTED TO GET ATTENTION -- |
| 00:45:40 |
|
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT TO ME IS DIFFERENT IS THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES STORY A PART IS BECAUSE... |
| 00:45:58 |
|
I WANT TO SAY QUICKLY YOU CAN LOOK AT MEDIA PLATFORMS AND SEE THERE ARE DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS THAT... |
| 00:47:01 |
|
ONE IMPORTANT POINT WAS THAT JENA WAS MANUFACTURED ON THE NET. LET'S NOT FLIP IT, SWITCH THE GAME... |
| 00:47:21 |
|
TRY TO KEEP YOUR QUESTIONS BRIEF BECAUSE WE HAVE MANY OF YOU. |
| 00:47:24 |
|
I'LL BE BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. I'M A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE NABJ AND ALSO A JOURNALIST PROFFESSOR. I... |
| 00:48:32 |
|
ONE COMMENT TO AGREE WITH YOU, SIR, IS THAT OF THE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF EMAILS THEY GOT OF HATE... |
| 00:49:06 |
|
YOU WERE DOING WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, FATHER. FREDDY, ME, WE ALL -- ALL THREE OF US HERE. ... |
| 00:50:07 |
|
LET'S GET ANOTHER QUESTION. |
| 00:50:09 |
|
HI, I'M A STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON IN TEXAS. I WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND QUESTION.... |
| 00:51:05 |
|
IS YOUR QUESTION WE AS COLOR ED PEOPLE? |
| 00:51:10 |
|
IT CAN'T BE ANSWERED. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF VARIABLES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT. THE IDEA THERE'S... |
| 00:51:24 |
|
AMEN. |
| 00:51:26 |
|
THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD ABOUT WHEN SOMETHING LOCAL BECOMES A BIGGER STORY. SOME HAS TO DO WITH... |
| 00:53:07 |
|
I WOULD HAVE TO RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE SEEN, ESPECIALLY IN... |
| 00:53:45 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF I AGREE. |
| 00:53:46 |
|
THIS IS SOMETHING WE SEE TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I COVERED AN INCIDENT IN MIAMI WHERE A BLACK GIRL WENT... |
| 00:54:35 |
|
ANOTHER QUESTION. |
| 00:54:36 |
|
GOOD AFTERNOON PANEL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INFORMATION. I'M FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA. MY SOAP... |
| 00:55:27 |
|
SHE'S ASKING WHAT CAN MEDIA DO TO INSTILL CHARACTER IN OUR CULTURE. I'LL PUT A FINAL POINT ON THAT.... |
| 00:55:37 |
|
YEAH. |
| 00:55:39 |
|
I'M JUST RAISING MY KID RIGHT. |
| 00:55:40 |
|
YES. MAYBE YOU ARE, BUT A LOT OF THEM AREN'T. |
| 00:55:44 |
|
I WRITE ABOUT THAT A BIT AND I GET IN TROUBLE FOR WRITING ABOUT KIDS BEHAVING BADLY. BUT GUESS WHAT?... |
| 00:56:15 |
|
BUT YOU KNOW, I TELL YOU THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAVE A PARENTING SEGMENT ON MY PROGRAM.... |
| 00:58:16 |
|
I HAVE TO ASK IF WE COULD MOVE ON. WE ARE PASTIME BY ABOUT 50 MINUTES. I THINK WE COULD CONTINUE... |
| 00:58:33 |
|
I'M AN AUTHOR HERE IN CHICAGO. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAS TO BE DONE OR WHAT DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO... |
| 00:59:12 |
|
BY HAVING PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE 9.00 MEETING DECIDING HOW THE STORY IS GOING TO BE TOLD AND RUN.... |
| 00:59:24 |
|
AND YOU KNEW IT WASN'T 9.00. [LAUGHTER] ERIC? |
| 00:59:31 |
|
THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT. I FACE IT ALL THE TIME ON MY BLOG.... |
| 00:59:50 |
|
WHO WAS THAT? |
| 00:59:53 |
|
POOKKI WHO KNOCKED OVER THE GAS STATION. I'M NOT QUITE SURE. I THINK -- YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE... |
| 01:00:20 |
|
TO THE EXTENT I EXPLAIN THAT STUFF. WHAT EXPLAIN IS SAY CLEARLY, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO TOUR GUIDE. ... |
| 01:00:43 |
|
SO I GUESS THAT WOULD MAKE ME YOUR NEGRO TOUR GUIDE. [LAUGHTER] |
| 01:00:52 |
|
HELLO. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DISCUSSION. I'M A MEDIA ENTREPRENEUR, BROADCAST JOURNALIST AND... |
| 01:01:34 |
|
THE REALITY IS THEY DO. THE REALITY IS THAT THEY DO. THEY ALREADY WORK TOGETHER NOW BUT WE BUMP AGAINST... |
| 01:02:15 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 01:02:21 |
|
I'M A REPORTER FOR A NEWSPAPER IN PENNSYLVANIA. I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION. IS THERE A CERTAIN SET... |
| 01:02:50 |
|
YOU TAKE THAT FIRST. |
| 01:02:53 |
|
MY PERSONAL BLOG I'M VERY CAREFUL TO WHATEVER ARGUMENT I'M BUILDING, I LINK TO REPORTING, AND I EVEN... |
| 01:03:40 |
|
DO YOU HAVE AN EDIT TOR AND A COPY EDIT TOR? |
| 01:03:43 |
|
YES. |
| 01:03:46 |
|
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT? |
| 01:03:48 |
|
ON THE ROOT I DO. BUT ON MY OWN PERSONAL BLOG, NO, JUST ME. |
| 01:03:54 |
|
I THINK THE POINT OF THE BLOGS, ESPECIALLY, IS THAT THERE ARE NO RULES. THERE ARE NO RULES. AND THE... |
| 01:04:34 |
|
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? |
| 01:04:35 |
|
SURE. |
| 01:04:37 |
|
IF YOU PICK UP A NEWSPAPER YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE STANDARDS THEY ADHERE TO. IF YOU LISTEN TO... |
| 01:05:04 |
|
IT MIGHT HELP BUT THE REASON YOU KNOW NPR IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN CONSUMING NPR FOR A WHILE. YOU... |
| 01:05:17 |
|
THEY HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT. |
| 01:05:19 |
|
THEY HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT BUT WHETHER THEY LIVE UP TO IT, THE ONLY WAY YOU KNOW IS READ IT.Ni... |
| 01:05:33 |
|
THERE ARE FEWER RULES IN JOURNALISM THAN PEOPLE THINK THERE ARE. IN AMERICA YOU ARE A JOURNALIST BECAUSE... |
| 01:05:50 |
|
SOMETIMES YOU GET PAID. |
| 01:05:53 |
|
WE ALL NEED TO BE MEDIA SAVVY WHETHER THERE WAS A BLOG SPHERE OR NOT. THERE ARE ARE MARKET STANDARDS,... |
| 01:06:31 |
|
LET'S POINT OUT, TOO, THAT THE FIRST JEREMIAH WRIGHT STORIES WERE DONE BY ABC NEWS AND FOX NEWS, ESTABLISHED... |
| 01:06:42 |
|
READERS ARE ATTRACTED TO WORLD VIEWS. IF PEOPLE LOG ON THEY KNOW HOW I GET DOWN. THEY ARE NOT SURPRISED.... |
| 01:07:24 |
|
I AM TOLD WE NEED TO VACATE THE ROOM SOON. I'M SORRY WE CAN'T GET TO ALL THE QUESTIONS. IN FACT I... |
| 01:07:37 |
|
GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M A PROFFESSOR OF JOURNALISM IN TALLAHASEE. ALL RIGHT. AND SPENT MY CAREER AS A... |
| 01:08:53 |
|
OKAY. |
| 01:08:55 |
|
IF THAT'S MISSING WE GET THE STORIES THE WAY THEY PLAY IT OUT. |
| 01:09:00 |
|
TAKE ME INSIDE THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHO SHOULD COVER THAT STORY AND WHAT KIND OF PERSPECTIVE THEY... |
| 01:09:11 |
|
OFTEN WHEN -- JENA IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A BIG STORY. USUALLY THESE STORIES ARE ABOUT ... |
| 01:09:52 |
|
BUT THIS STORY WENT RIGHT TO THE PRESIDENTIAL POLITICAL COVERAGE SO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A PRESS... |
| 01:10:00 |
|
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A PRESS CORPS THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CHURCH, BLACK CULTURE. YOU SAW MICHEL... |
| 01:10:28 |
|
YOU ARE TELLING YOUR STUDENTS TO KEEP YOUR JOBS FIRST BEFORE THEY GET UP THERE AND -- HOW MANY PEOPLE... |
| 01:10:44 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. SO YOU FIRST GOT TO KEEP YOUR JOB BEFORE YOU CAN CHANGE THINGS IN THAT ROOM. THAT'S... |
| 01:10:56 |
|
I'M FROM KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY. MY QUESTION IS WITH THE MAINSTREAM BLACK MEDIA COVERING STORIES... |
| 01:11:14 |
|
RULE OF COLLEGE MEDIA? |
| 01:11:16 |
|
I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT SOME OF THE COLLEGE JOURNALISTS, SOME ARE THE FINEST WE HAVE. THE FACT IS NOBODY... |
| 01:12:05 |
|
I HATE TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD BUT AGAIN, THIS SPLEDING BLOG SPHERE EQUALS THE PLAYING FIELD.... |
| 01:12:41 |
|
WE COULD CONSIDER THIS BONUS ROUND. WE HAVE TO KEEP QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUICK. |
| 01:12:47 |
|
LET ME SAY I'M A LEADERSHIP SPEAKER IN THE COLLEGE MARKET, AUTHOR, HOST OF A LOCAL AND POLITICAL SOCIAL... |
| 01:13:07 |
|
ASK THE QUESTION. |
| 01:13:08 |
|
I'M ON MY WAY. |
| 01:13:10 |
|
NO, GET THERE. |
| 01:13:13 |
|
WHEN YOU DEAL WITH JENA SIX AND REVEREND WRIGHT I THINK THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. THE RADIO... |
| 01:14:00 |
|
OKAY. WHAT LESSONS CAN WE LEARN? |
| 01:14:08 |
|
I'M GOING TO PASS THAT ON TO THE FATHER SINCE HE HAS BEEN THERE. |
| 01:14:12 |
|
CAN I SAY ONE THING? I THINK THERE HAS TO BE A PRESUMPTION OR MAYBE WE HAVE A PRESUMPTION THAT MAINSTREAM... |
| 01:15:47 |
|
I'M WITH THE CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND, AND I WANTED YOU ALL TO TALK ON THE POINT THAT THERE HAS BEEN... |
| 01:16:24 |
|
IT IS BOTH. THAT'S WHAT'S SO COMPLEX ABOUT THIS. THE BLOG SPHERE IS RIFE WITH INACCURACIES. IF YOU... |
| 01:16:56 |
|
THE JEREMIAH WRIGHT THING BOTHERS ME BECAUSE MOST MEDIA WHO COVERED IT DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH. I DO... |
| 01:17:54 |
|
I DON'T HAVE THE MERCEDES, BUT PERHAPS SOMEONE ELSE DOES. |
| 01:17:58 |
|
I DON'T HAVE A MERCEDES EITHER SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT. YOU NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY NOTHING. |
| 01:18:17 |
|
LET ME PUT IT A DIDN'T WAY. HOW MANY BLACK JOURNALISTS DON'T GO TO BLACK CHURCHES? |
| 01:18:22 |
|
IS THAT IMPORTANT? |
| 01:18:23 |
|
THE REASON IT IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE YOU IMPORT WHAT YOU KNOW. YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE REVEREND... |
| 01:18:43 |
|
PLEASE GIVE ME HELP ON THIS, TOM. |
| 01:18:45 |
|
I THINK THAT WAS A QUESTION OF BAD REPORTING ALL THE WAY AROUND. WELL, THAT, TOO. I THINK WHAT HE'S... |
| 01:19:11 |
|
SOME OF THE BEST REPORTING I SAW ON TRINITY AND THE WHOLE WRIGHT ISSUE CAME FROM BLACK JOURNALISTS.... |
| 01:19:25 |
|
ONE OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES THAT OCCURRED IN THE CYCLE WAS A SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH JEREMIAH... |
| 01:20:20 |
|
WHEN I SAW THE FIRST ABC NEWS STORY I THOUGHT WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? |
| 01:20:25 |
|
WE HAVE TO -- WE COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON, BUT I'M TOLD WE HAVE TO END THIS CONVERSATION. WE HAVE... |
| 01:20:39 |
|
I WENT TO TRINITY. |
| 01:20:41 |
|
YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF A QUESTION. [APPLAUSE] A QUICK QUESTION, BUT A QUESTION. I'M GOING TO USE THAT,... |
| 01:21:00 |
|
WE GO TO TRINITY. |
| 01:21:01 |
|
ALL RIGHT. WORK TOGETHER. COLLABORATE ON ONE QUESTION. |
| 01:21:08 |
|
I WANT TO TALK TO FATHER PFLEGGER. I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE BECAUSE I WANTED THE ASSOCIATION... |
| 01:22:37 |
|
AND THE QUESTION COMES FROM -- |
| 01:22:41 |
|
A NETWORK GUY ASKED ME, HE'S NOT CRAZY. |
| 01:22:43 |
|
I'M NOT CRAZY. I HAVE A COMMENT THAT -- |
| 01:22:47 |
|
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH? I'M SO SORRY, BUT -- |
| 01:22:51 |
|
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. |
| 01:22:53 |
|
WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE WHO NEED THE ROOM. |
| 01:22:56 |
|
I JUST NEED YOU TO GET TO YOUR QUESTION. YOUR QUESTION. |
| 01:22:59 |
|
MY QUESTION IS BECAUSE I HEARD FROM THE PANEL THAT IN A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION THAT EVEN THE PANEL,... |
| 01:23:13 |
|
YOUR QUESTION. |
| 01:23:17 |
|
MY QUESTION IS -- I'M PRESIDENT OF HIMER MILER GROUP. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE BLACK... |
| 01:23:31 |
|
I'M SO SORRY TO DO THIS TO YOU. I REALLY AM. OUT OF RESPECT TO OUR PANELISTS -- OUT OF RESPECT TO... |
