WOMP, WOMP: Black News Channel Shuts Down After Failing to Pay Their Employees

The more than 250 black journalists, including New York Times columnist Charles Blow and television personality Marc Lamont Hill, are now out of a job. Former Republican Congressman J.C. Watts, who compared Trump supporters to Klansmen, was the founder of the network.

“We are more than athletes and entertainers, and on the hard news side, we’re more than crime,” Watts said, according to a Washington Times report. “For every 17-year-old African American male that you show me that’s being carted off in handcuffs on the 10 o’clock news … I can show you 50 17-year-old African American males that get up every morning trying to figure out, ‘How am I going to make my mother proud of me.’ That’s the story doesn’t get told enough.”

However, his vision for the news turned out to be rejected by the public even as they were platformed on 50 million cable and satellite carriers. There was simply no market demand for their content.

Big League Politics has reported on the growing unpopularity of Black Lives Matter as the public turns on the marxist, anti-American supremacy movement:

White people should have been required to watch.

I ran the numbers one year. The success rate (435/~1600). That’s 1600 who filed campaign donation reports not the total number of candidates, was about the same as it was for a Broadway show (~25%).

Don’t put your own money in the show.

I remember JC from his Sooners days. Couldn't throw a lick but ran the wishbone offense pretty efficiently.

He is still on conservative websites and is on the speaking circuit.

You hear a lot of things.

I'm getting too old for woke grammar:

Black News Channel Shuts Down After Failing to Pay Their Its Employees

(Unless I'm wrong that channel "are" singular, in which case the headline should be "Black News Channel Shut Down...")

I had always like J.C. Watts - until now.

Even if he was right about the ratio (he probably isn’t), it still wouldn’t make a recipe for a successful television news show. “If it bleeds, it leads” is the rule, because that is what will actually bring in the viewers. Show some public interest piece about a regular guy trying to work a regular job to feed his regular family, and everyone will change channels, because they want to escape their own regular lives, not watch someone else’s.
