Inter office memo.
Subject: Policy violations during the coverage of the Katrina aftermath.
To all producers of our television network shows. For the most part we had decent coverage of Katrina and her
aftermath. We had plenty of reporters reveling in all of the great pain and suffering that was taking place. As laid out in
our operating guide, our reporters were visually showing their empathy for the victims. They did Clinton, better than the
man himself. Most of our producers and reporters understood how we make money in times like these. But, unfortunately, not
all of our reporters and producers understood this.
A couple of our producers and reporters actually had the nerve to go out and interview students and professors
of the Black Colleges that were affected by Katrina. It must be pointed out that articulate thoughtful Black Americans do
not make us money. When we need articulate Black americans we go to Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell or the new media appointed
leader of Blacks—Barack OBama.
Two things on this subject. The above Black people are anomalies, and second those type of black people don't
get us ratings. Your Amos and Andy, George Jefferson, and your Sanford and son types, bring in the ratings. We need buffoonery,
cartoonish behavior with a strong dose of ignorance from our coverage of Blacks to get ratings. Look!—the people who
watch our cable stations are affluent White people, they have a need to feel superior to, as Ross Perot would put it 'those
people'. Seeing Blacks acting cartoonish with a great dose of ignorance helps to get them there. What is so hard to understand
about that?
To compound their errors, the producers and reporters went to the music field for comments on the Katrina
aftermath. Did they go get a 50 cents, a Flavor Fav, or Kayne West. No they went to Wynton Marsalis. One of the smartest Black
persons around and one of the best jazz musicians ever. The interview was highly informative, he was articulate, and showed
black musicians and Black people in general, in a good light.
Look people! Thanks to the Clinton years and the politically correct caring people he brought with him. They
took away the carjacking Black man, the home invasion Black man, the welfare robbing Black man, the crack dealing Black man,
and the ever popular Black man sleeping with your White women. All we have left is the ignorant angry Black man, we must milk
this lone cow for everything it is worth. If you were wondering about the lazy Black man, he scares no one, he is useless
to us. To make this clear, if you want good ratings which means good money for everyone, you must seek out the ignorant angry
Black man and display him like a Mandingo at a slave auction. What is so hard to understand about that?
To add insult to injury to our network and this company's bottom line. The producers and reporters went
to Black churches and showed how they were taking in people, raising money, and organizing food and clothing drives. This
was and is still inappropriate. There is something we rely on in the news media called the African Tarzan Effect.
A.T.E. simply states, White people must come to the rescue, of the Black people. I or we, do not make
the rules. White people like to see themselves as saviors. When we portray them as saviors, they love it. Because who among
us does not like the deity status.
If you need proof. You only have to view the Nielsen numbers from when we showed Harry Connick jr.. Carrying
a frail old Black man to safety. That was a hard-on moment for affluent White Americans every where. Could you imagine the
hard-on moment we could have had. If our producers and or reporters could have gotten Julia Roberts to fireman carry a frail
Black woman through waist deep contaminated water while breast feeding one of her twins. Hell people! That would have been
an 'You go girl' orgasmic moment for affluent White Americans everywhere. But did they give us that? No! What we got,
was, caring, well meaning Black people helping other Black people. There is no money in that for anyone at this network. What
is so hard to understand about that?
We were going to suspend the producers and reporters for a couple of weeks. But the chance that such grievous
behavior would reemerge, was a risk we could not take. So we were forced to let them go. Hopefully they will drive down the
ratings of another network. All of this unpleasantness has forced us to come up with a better mission statement for covering
the minority community.
Minority communities—the final exploitable people. Our mission—to seek out the
most ignorant, the most buffoonish. To showcase them in the most negative light possible, to exploit the hell out of them.
To shamelessly demean a whole culture for the sake of greater profits and ratings.
If we take this mission statement to heart. Everyone in America and in turn our company will be better off.
