“Real journalism is publishing something someone else does not want published – the rest is just public relations.” George Orwell
With so much drama in the world today in our communities on both macro and micro levels, it’s always strange to see the news or people that claim to be journalists talking about all kinds of silly things and never what’s going on. The Firing Squad is here to take aim at all that is wrong with the world, starting with our own communities. Three men of color with no censor and no objectives but truth, justice and common sense. Each episode will deal with hot-button issues with honesty, straight talk, and humor whenever possible . No personality is untouchable, and no one is spared the venom, or the praise whenever fit.
In this episode we talk about the necessity of Black History Month and its significance in today’s society. Is it still relevant?
From there we get at the media coverage of the Jeremy Lin situation. Are Knick fans out of control with new expectation? Where does Melo fit in? Is La La taking him down?
What’s good with foamposites? Are they the next sneaker to body someone over? Is it cool to camp out for sneakers? What if it’s to sell them on eBay for ten times the price?
What’s the best thing in the vending machines?
