Media Notes

• If the Source even had a shred of credibility remaining, news that Michael Jackson will appear on the cover of the next issue makes you wonder if they really even care about what they're publishing. You'd think they had finish grinding their axe against Marshall, but it looks like Ray Ray and Davey Boy will jump from their rapidly sinking ship to one drifting out to sea at a much slower pace. It's actually funny how more of their recent enemies are starting to clump together: Jacko, JD, Janet, the Source, Benzino (heh) that you start seeing how money controls every move in the rap game.
• On a lesser note, if BET is so worried about Em's disparagement of Michael, where were they when he was calling Moby a "36 year-old bald-headed fag, blow me"? Robert Johnson you are so on the ball. Keep protecting the black community from dangers like this white devil, it'll give you more time to run infommercials promoting unity of Jews and Christians at the expense of Muslims. Only $300 a month to help reunite two Russian Jews with their families is exactly the clouded message we need to start educating young impressionable minds with.
• I'm sure everything that needs to be written has about the Jon Stewart-Tucker Carlson rift from last week, but I think Stewart played right into their hands. Obviously anyone who agrees with what he's had to say about CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc., can understand his level of frustration and perhaps even willingness to engage in debate. He should've realized though he never would have had a fair chance to argue his point rather than getting baited into the trap Crossfire clearly wanted all along. Carlson can't come off any worse than he already does, regardless of the spin he wants to put on it, that surely emanates from whatever ridiculous bow tie he was wearing.
