Brad Paisleys "racist" joke at the CMA's

If you think Stewart is in any way racist, you've been swallowing huge loads of **** spewed by pundits.

Not that this would surprise me.

 

Since they have a network called BET, they should call it the WMAs instead of the CMAs :grin:

 

FIFY.

 

Haha, someone hit a nerve. Wow.

 

Artie Lange. . is that you?

Rocket River
meh

 

Brad Paisley is surprisingly good at guitar.

 

I hope he &/or his media team feel forced into issuing an apology. Just to round this out.

 

A writer is getting fired.

What a fail in product placement.

 

Racist.

I'm officailly boycotting my "Chillin' on a Dirt Road" and "Love in the Country" Spotify channels to express my outrage.

 

If this post is serious (and I can't tell) it would actually be more racist than the original accusation.. which is kind of poetic.

The thing about Twitter is that anyone can get their feelings hurt at any time over anything - and worse, they have the whole world as an audience.

 

I don't know either way I just like to dig at terrible country pop.

 

Just reading it here...I take no offense to it at all

 

It's an indictment on the garbage that passes for news these days.

 

Don't worry - they made up for it by sticking in Michael McDonald at the end (not that there's anything wrong with it- one of the great singers of all time).

I mean, seriously, how ******* good is this guy- and the Doobie Brothers as a whole?

I am outraged.

 

What about Cristela?

 

If anything it was a go thing for the TV show.

 

You should tweet that. Then I can RT it and you can start a thread about it.

 

Well..yeah, but I don't totally blame reporters. News outlets don't exactly have the budgets they once had for news gathering. I've seen many press releases I've written published word for word and posted as news stories, which of course makes my clients perfectly happy, so no one complains. There are a lot of journalists whose only function is to rubberstamp copypasta, but it's pretty much because they are told to do that. And I've unfortunately been on the other side of that and put bylines on edited PRs that would qualify as plagiarism, 'cause the boss said I had to if I wanted to keep getting paychecks.

It's also why I'm very jaded about "news" not from sources that I know don't do that.
