Fox News cuts away from Obama press conference because nobody asked about Benghazi?

What kind of sh*t is Fox News on? Today Fox News cut away from a press conference with President Obama and German chancellor Angela Merkel because no reporters asked about Benghazi. In an huge case of irony President Obama discussed the situation in Ukraine. You know the situation Fox News has used to portray President Obama as weak although many of their pundits have admitted there's not much he can do.

But back to why no one asked about Benghazi Now there are probably two very good reasons why no questions were asked.

1. It would be inappropriate to bring up an American conspiracy theory when the German chancellor is here to discuss issues that relate to US/German relations.

2. Nobody except Fox. News gives a f*ck.

Watch Fox News cut away from the press conference and give an explanation why below:

Did the L.A. NAACP look the other way when it came to Donald Sterling's racism?

In the interest of full disclosure let me state that I am a member of the NAACP. I was not going to renew my membership until I heard Donald Sterling would not be receiving a NAACP award.

Now that the NBA has dealt with L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling it's fair to take a look at the LA chapter of the NAACP. Before they were outraged by Sterling's comments they were all set to give him another lifetime achievement award. ( I know he's old but how many lives has he had ) They were going to that despite Sterling's past when it comes to racism. They were essentially willing to ignore his racism issues. The question is why?

When all hell broke lose they announced that they would not be giving Sterling an award and would be returning money he had donated. Oddly enough they wont mention how much money Sterling has given. (wonder why?)

The LA chapter had to know about Sterling's past. You can make the argument that they were more aware of it than most in the United States being both in L.A. and well being the NAACP. When they were taking Sterling's money they knew who he was in my opinion.

The NAACP says that they asked about one lawsuit in which Sterling had to pay 2.7 million dollars to a fund for people who were allegedly harmed by their discriminatory practices. My guess is that Sterling's answer included a lot of zeroes.

In my opinion the LA NAACP had blinders on when it comes to Sterling's racism as long as the cash was flowing. Maybe I'm being cynical but being cynical doesn't mean one is wrong.

Oprah Winfrey interested in buying the Los Angeles Clippers

[ SOURCE ] Oprah Winfrey, David Geffen and Larry Ellison will join together in a bid to buy the Los

Angeles Clippers if the NBA's board of governors votes to force Donald Sterling to sell the team, Geffen told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on Wednesday.

Geffen said he and Ellison would run the team, while Winfrey would be an investor.

"Oprah is not interested in running the team," Geffen told Schaap. "She thinks it would be a great thing for an important black American to own [another] franchise.

"The team deserves a better group of owners who want to win. Larry would sooner die than fail. I would sooner die than fail. Larry's a sportsman. We've talked about this for a long time. Between the three of us, we have a good shot."

Winfrey's spokesperson, Nicole Nichols, issued a statement later Wednesday, confirming Geffen's claim. "Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team become available," Nichols said in the statement.

Silver was asked Tuesday whether the league was considering more minority ownership in response to the sanctions against Sterling.

"As you know, we have an African-American primary owner in the league right now," Silver said. "Shaquille O'Neal just became a small owner of the Sacramento Kings. David Robinson is an owner of the San Antonio Spurs. Vivek Ranadive, a person of color born in Mumbai, India, just became the primary owner of the Sacramento Kings. So I believe we have a very diverse league, but I'd always like to see it become more diverse."
