Death Cab for Cutie & My Morning Jacket are two bands who should be more popular. Had they come onto the scene in the mid-late 90's they'd be as big as Matchbox 20 or Jimmy Eat World. Instead, they're sheltered away in a small following with a myspace page.

Yeah he always seemed like a fraud, this just locks it up. He is basically is a corporation himself. Some causes out there are probably legitimate, it states Jesse Jackson as a rival, I would guess he may be more straightforward in choosing which causes to support or not. I don't recall Jesse Jackson making a big stink about the Don Imus case, whereas Sharpton was over the top treating it like it's the end of the world, or like he used the N-word during Katrina...

That always did it for me, I didn't care much for Imus either way, but I found it ludicrous he was fired over that. Now I'm sure Sharpton got $$ in it somehow, getting money from Imus' sponsors. The funny thing is, while all that was going on, those Jena 6 kids were already in jail. Sharpton didn't care about it until the media made a big deal out of it several months later. The worst in this article are when it says Pepsi & Macy's didn't have enough blacks in their advertising??? WTF!! I'm all for equal opportunity & stuff but that's ridiulous. Instead of going after unhealthy companies who DO target blacks (Kool, Popeyes/Checkers Chicken, St Ides, 40 oz etc) or Walmarts bad employment & benefits practices he gets money from Pepsi for not advertising to blacks. What a scammer.

Wonder if they could have met someone on the internet?

Aww that's ashame.

Ashame, he seemed like a very nice guy. You're right Buzzsaw, I don't think he ever had an agenda. A great political journalist/reporter.
