what the hell am i doing wrong?

happened again...thought I wrote up a pretty good comment on a huff po blog by Cenk and it doesn't get published....

I know I'm not a writer. I don't even think I'm that smart but as I read other comments on the same article, well, I'm still kinda shaking my head. I think I was within TOS but who really reads that stuff anyway? Was it because I named out another Network Media company and compared Cenk to them? Almost makes you want to just forget even the effort. Keep the thoughts bottled up and randomly ranted at an unsuspecting acquaintance.

I mean who really cares what I say anyway? I have an average twitter account though I'm not on any lists & even I'm smart enough to know, twitters power is in the lists.

I'm over it, lets move on.

What do you do when you think you have important stuff to say but you get panned?

HMM; I wonder sometimes if I shouldn't just be like some and play the political game, you know, suck up to people just to move forward a notch? ....Can't.

How about replying to everything knowing if I play the numbers game, I'm bound to be published on a few?.....Yea right! Like I'm not that lazy. That stuff takes effort and dedication and a way larger vocabulary than I know I have plus I'm more suited to manual labor...

I know, I will tow the line and compromise what I say just to get on the blogs?....hmm....I see so many professionals do it, all blinged up?? hmm....Nah! I have enough regrets and I like to sleep at night, plus I don't know how to act away disdain.

Or can it be the real truth?? Its Just Me?? I'm that inane????

I watched a video on U-Tube about that poor young man who wrote out his heart just before it gave out on him and I know millions of us watched that beautiful person with tears in our eyes as he gave us the rest of himself. His message gives us the meaning of being at peace.

RIP BEN

We all have a story, but today, his is so much more important.


Now if you've gotten this far I just want to tell you, a guy like me does have this burning feeling to just let it out. My spelling sucks, my syntax sucks, punctuation? forget a bout it, but I promise, I will be honest..

We will have to start with a history someday because to know me is to know the truth on how I got here and why I think the way I do..when? who knows, most of the time I don't feel confidence so I don't act.

If no one reads it? I need to get it out.. way to much stuff goes unsaid or is couched.

When will we realize people like this do it for the effect and that inside they are probably hiding from their own regrets.. Love him or hate him, he makes gobbs of money from the art of legal slander and exploitation.

what New York Times wouldn't let me say

I'm a diligent reader of the New York Times and I comment a lot on their articles. Recently an article was written concerning News Corps foray into the Latino market. Usually I have no problem getting my comments published but this time they didn't and I would like your opinion on why. The article is aptly named "Fox Expands Presence in Hispanic TV" http://nyti.ms/hkqcSv & here is my comment:.

On the surface this seems very benign, a corporate entity seeing an opportunity to expand their markets in a growing demographic. I hate to be the cynic and a bit suspicious, but I have watched News Corp. over the last couple years spend & knowingly lose money with shows like Glenn Beck on their flag ship Fox News because of a political agenda they believe in. Glenn Beck is plagued with low sponsorship but Fox News and Roger Aile's believes that they have a mission to slant their news to the right in order to control the message to millions of their viewers for the Republican Party. We have much evidence as executives have candidly told us that they knowingly fib and exaggerate to their viewership in order to perpetrate fear and doubt of our current President and his Democratic administration.

We all know this and I believe that their foray into the Latino markets are part of a larger strategy by News Corp. We all know Fox news has a brilliant messaging strategy and we also know the Hispanic demographic is not only growing but is voting in record numbers. Lets put two and two together quickly and realize that Fox news can and will master the messaging to this vital Democratic demographic. Lets target the Latino market as heavily before they too vote against their own interests based on propaganda and rhetoric that they are convinced by superior marketing that its news.

I'd like to state a little of my reasoning behind my assumption. We all saw Fox News stage an all out assault when President Obama nominated Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Numerous Fox News commentators parroted the fact that she was made comments about being a Latina that gave her insight & empathy when judicating that others may not have. We also remember how Fox tried to scare their viewership because Judge Sotomayor once belonged to La Raza and was tainted because they successfully painted them as some sort of terrorist organization who hated Americans and white people. We also remember how Fox News defended Jan Brewers profiling bill as something uniquely American, even using concocted ideas that their were dead bodies all over the Arizona desert to intensify the fear.

This new network will distance itself from Fox News by using Latino commentators speaking in Spanish who will disassociate their messaging from their flag ship station, but WILL continue their role in creating doubt of anything the Democratic administration does. I am not naive and I believe they will master their duel role and be successful at it. Lets remind the Latino's who this entity represents and convince them, its not the Latino community but is the almighty dollar & Republican agenda.
