Every month, I will remind you about Grenfell! Please never forget!
It will be 9 years this year, and still no justice.
The Grenfell Fire is the UK’s deadliest residential fire since World War II.

Wrote something for industry insiders to digest.
Perhaps someone at the BBC and BAFTA will read and digest because the way they've handled this is unacceptable.

@DawnButlerBrent: ‘The BBC broadcast the N-Word. Black Britain deserves answers’
In this searing critique, the Brent East MP questions why a racial slur was deemed acceptable for the BAFTA broadcast and warns that without diversity and accountability, these incidents will continue to happen

"This is not about the involuntary nature of the outburst.
"It is about the voluntary nature of the broadcast."
"The @BBC had the power to prevent this. It chose not to use it. And that choice speaks louder than any apology"

The @BBC had a 2-hour delay, yet a racial slur was broadcast to millions. We need answers.
This isn’t about blaming people with Tourette's.
It’s about editorial accountability, failure of duty of care for all and how Black pain is often minimised. ✍🏾

Nothing scares Donald Trump more than a smart, accomplished, and beloved Black family.
RETWEET if you are proud to stand with the Obamas!

Keep this loathsome woman & this deleted video trending! Quote from @thecarolemalone on her source for defamatory claims she made about #DoriaRagland.
"I believed this to be the case based on what I now understand to be misinformation I had seen online."
English
@Lorna_TVeditor 'Precise dates and times' of the putrid lie, a basic journalistic requirement of even the basest 'reporting', are dismissed. Why does that dreadful woman still have a job????

Whenever Carole Malone is on a phone-in show, I hope callers remind her of the apology to Doria Ragland, Meghan (Duchess of) Sussex's mother.
I also hope they ask her why she was so sure that a racist conspiracy theory about a Black woman was true.

I did a short mash up of GB News recent lie. It’s not just the lie though, it’s the way Carole Malone just played with idea of the unverified lie. The look on Carole Malone’s face when she was apologising shows that law suits work against these ghouls.

I've been warning ya'll about this for years. Only a few billionaires own all media companies. They're always going to pick money over people. Kimmel mocked Trump not Charlie Kirk. Nexstar has a $6.2B deal pending that needs FCC approval.

@chrislongview @docrocktex26 @KamalaHarris The media controls the narrative & white people control the media. Newsrooms report only 16% employees of color as of 2017. asne.org/diversity-surv… The 6 major TV networks are majority white-owned. Major newspapers too except LA Times (Chinese owned). Glad Kamala broke through.
