WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?


This mornings Commercial Appeal carries the picture of a dead minor child who along with his father gunned down two West Memphis police officers on yesterday. The picture shows the dead child laying dead on the ground next to bullet riddled van.
There is no outcry concerning the picture of this dead child carried on the front page of the Ca and also on their website, But in 2007 when I posted the pictures of the dead bodies of those in the Lester Street murder the story was carried all over the world. In fact I had over 300,000 hits on this site in two days from those who thought my placing the pics here was so awful. Yes many thought my act was so horrible but they flocked here to see them.
There will be no out cry because the public will say its okay, the 16 year old shown in the pic killed two police officers, he was the scum of the earth so many will think. I don't care about the posting in the CA, just like the CA should not have cared about my posting, But I did want to bring it up just to see what comments of support for the CA are printed.

NEW ORGANIZATION GOING AFTER NEWS CHANNEL 3 FOR BEING BIAS AND UNFAIR IN THEIR REPORTING OF BLACK LEADERS

MEMPHIS BLACK LEADERSHIP ASSOCIATION, INC.
NEWS CHANNEL 3 HAS ENGAGED IN A PATTERN OF SENSATIONALIZED PERSECUTION OF BLACK LEADERS IN MEMPHIS
NORM BREWER, KELI RABON, AND CHRIS ANDERSON HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT TO DESTROY STRONG BLACK MEN.
WRITE THEM AT:
505 TENNESSEE STREET #128 Memphis, Tennessee 38103



We are going to expose each member of the News Channel 3 team, by posting a background story on each one every month for 24 months. Also look for the new website kelirabon.org. We will reach out and touch them like they reach out and touch others.



A new organization,Memphis Black Leadership Association Inc, feels that News Channel 3 is on a mission to destroy black leadership and is prepared to fight back. The group says that the Tv station is bias in their reporting to the extent of running stories without interviewing all parties involved.

The Memphis Black Leadership plans to target Norm Brewer, Keli Rabon, And reporter Chris Anderson who when he had his recent criminal problems stated that he was not going to try his case in the media, But isn't that how some he has interviewed felt?

The group wonders why the president of WREG, Ron Walters who is Black allows his reporters to do slanted and bias reports. They feel that he is just the "Token Negro" who has to front for his White superiors and does not have the balls to stand up for what is right. I am told by members of the organization that all of the backgrounds of the station's reporters will be exposed including the male reporter who is married to a male reporter at Action News 5

MALONE MAY TAKE ON JACKSON


Sources close to county commissioner Deidre Malone who was also a candidate in the democratic primary for county mayor state that Malone's career as a politician may not be over and that she is considering running for Shelby County Court Clerk in the next county election.
Malone if she runs would be facing current clerk Otis Jackson who also ran for the county mayor's position. The sources state that had Jackson stayed out of the race and tended to the office that he has not held for a full term her chances would have been better against Joe Ford.
The sources go on to state that Malone believes that political nerve wrecker and Jackson employee Del Gill convinced Jackson to run not really believing that the current clerk could win but to keep his name alive for a future run.
Should Malone decide to run against Jackson its a certainly that Jackson would lose and gill would return to the unemployment line.

I'M OPENING UP THE CAN ON MEMORIAL DAY


The construction in the studio is just about finish, The equipment has been purchased, The engineer is preparing to start wiring, And my return to the airwaves is set for Memorial Day.It will be exactly one month from the breaching of my contract by KWAM and the arrival of wimpish Bennie Ferguson to a time slot that I had already kicked his ass in, And a time slot where that ass whupping will continue.




AM 1180 WPLX will also bring a first to Memphis radio, A all Blues format that airs the Blues 7 days a week and not just on Saturdays. The mixture of Soul Blues with traditional Blues and a touch of R&B that grown folk remember will make this new station the number 1 AM station within 6 months if not sooner.




The WPLX morning show will be hosted by two former WDIA employees, Captain Curtis Lee and Denise Dean. The Captain holds the record for the highest ratings in Memphis radio having a 22 share while at DIA. Also while at 103.5 The Captain had an 11 share on their Saturday morning Blues show. Denise Dean or Dean as most radio listeners call her will bring an exciting element to morning radio along with news tidbits and traffic. Dean also has the ability to do talk radio often doing the Bev Johnson Show on DIA, In fact many times more issue oriented then Johnson.




From 9-10 AM daily I will come on air to discuss issues and to give a taste of what I will be doing from 3-7pm in the afternoon. Yes now "The Thaddeus Matthews Show" will air 4 hours daily with the same no holds barred controversial conversation. There will be no change in my style or approach in fact I will be hitting very hard during this political season. I will continue to get involved in issues in the city and fight for those causes that the so called mainstream media refuses to investigate or report.




So to you haters you make have thought it was safe but its not, Republicans you may have thought that you had a free reign with that wimp Benita Ferguson fighting your cause,But you don't Im back and I will be kicking some old ass and looking for some new.

WILLIE HERENTON SHOULD DEBATE......SOMEWHERE

Dr. Willie W. Herenton, former mayor of Memphis, and now a candidate for congress to represent the citizens of Tennessee's 9th Congressional District has decided not to be a part of a debate that was to air on WREG in July due to the bias that he believes that Norm Brewer and the CA's Otis Sanford has for him.

While he may be correct in his opinion of both Brewer and Sanford based on commentaries both have given the former mayor should debate Congressman Steve Cohen..... somewhere. Herenton should not expect to be elected, and the citizens of the 9th Congressional District should not elect him if he is not willing to bring his platform to the stage so that his platform can be compared to that of the current congressman.

No one running for any office should be allowed to receive votes based solely on their name, or what they say is a past record. Every citizen of the district deserve the chance to know what the candidates plan to do for them in the present and the future.

Willie Herenton has the right no matter what one's opinion of him may be to be treated fairly in a debate forum, but he does not have the right to say he will not debate at all. I'm sure that there are other TV stations that would love to hold this very much needed debate of the issues that address the citizens of Memphis.

While the former mayor is totally correct when he states that Tennessee has no Black representation on the federal level, this can not be his total platform. While Blacks should represent their communities, the history of Black leadership in Memphis has not proven that if a Black is in office that Blacks will receive any benefits in reference to service and change.

If all else fails by July I will have returned to the airwaves and will be totally be prepared to hold the debate for just 1 hour but four. I am prepared to ask the tough questions of both candidates without race being the primary focus. I know that Willie Herenton is comfortable with my interviewing style seeing that his last two big announcements have been on my shows. If I was to hold the debate neither Herenton or Cohen would receive fluff questions, But the issues of the community would be addressed.

The Black community can not and must not elect Willie Herenton just because he is Black or that the state of Tennessee has no federal Black representation. He should only be elected because he has a workable platform and can show when his platform is compared to that of Steve Cohen that he is the better candidate and the best person to represent the citizens of the Ninth Congressional District.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE.....IT'S NOT














While some are hoping that the end has come of "The Thaddeus Matthews Show",and others are waiting for its return I am busy not only preparing to bring back the most controversial radio talk show that has ever been heard in the mid south, But i am also preparing to bring to Memphis its very first all blues radio station.
As you can see the new "Home of the Blues" is located in downtown Memphis with the Pyramid in its view. The studio is under construction as the best blues music known to man will be pumped from the Pinch District. All other stations that air the blues only do so on Saturdays, But AM 1180 WPLX will give you the blues 7 days a week where local talent will be a part of the rotation.
And here's something I know will make you jump for joy no longer will 'The Thaddeus Matthews Show" air for 3 hours, but now the show will air for 4 HOURS DAILY, from 3-7PM. I am working hard and ready again to dominate the airwaves, Little
Benny get ready your ass whuping is coming soon.

OWNERS OF KWAM AND LEGACY MEDIA HOLDINGS ARE RACIST WHO POKE FUN AT BLACKS


It seems now that the Memphis radio station that was built off the listener ship of Blacks now no longer wants Blacks to listen and and it's owners may just be racist who on FaceBook poked fun at that audience. That page also shows that Legacy Media owner Michael Easterly as early as march was conspiring to breach my contract with KWAM radio. But I will get to that in a moment.


Multimillionaire Michael Easterly has never in the three years that I was a part of KWAM put any real money into the station that he purchased in 2007 for $1.26 million. In fact the station was having a hard time staying on air because Easterly would not put money in place to keep the transmitter operating. On several occasions after a hard rain in 2008 I had to get a friends motor boat to get to the transmitter site because the transmitter is located in West Memphis in a area that floods when it rains. Easterly I was told by former management wanted the station to take care of itself. But that was hard when the only real paying customer they had was me.
Until this year when the station raised my rates to $3000 a week employees of KWAM complained about the fact that their pay checks were often 2-3 weeks late. When they raised my rates in February the station went out and wrapped a old van. Not once has this station spent a dime on promoting the station whose audience was built by me. Unless you take into measure the advertisement they ran in the Memphis Daily News immediately after raising my rates to $200 per hour offering talk shows for $150 per hour.


The audience that has made KWAM even a blimmer on the radar is the Black audience that was brought there by "The Thaddeus Matthews Show". The only time the call letters got mentioned on the news was in connection with me and the show. It strught me strange on Monday when county commission candidate Freddie Thompson who was to appear on my show was told by KWAM's GM George Bryant that I was no longer there and that the station hopes that my audience will follow me wherever I go.


Did Bryant the former owner of a failing advertising agency mean that KWAM no longer needed the Black audience. Or was he saying "Thank you niggers for making us what we are but we no longer need you". At first I thought that maybe Bryant was only finally allowing his true color to show, But the more I thought about it I realized that even though he was the messenger the message had to come from Easterly and the decision to breach my contract had to also be a decision that was made by Easterly.


Bryant was always speaking of how Easterly was on his ass to bring more money into the station. And in my conversations with Easterly when I would have to tell him he needed to rein Bryant in in his approach of dealing and speaking to me Easterly would always make of point of telling me how he was on Bryant to bring more money in. It was a known fact that my show sold more advertising in a week with only 15 hours then they could sell with 24/7.


So I was surprised to hear Ben Ferguson state on air that he was getting paid by KWAM. What sense does it make to pay Ferguson when you're receiving $12,000 a month without having to pay anything out to get it? And if Ferguson was all that great why wasn't WREC trying to hold on to him? Is the reason that Easterly and Bryant went after Ferguson a matter of pure racism where they really just wanted a White base audience all the time? And why instead of just canning my show in January when my contract was over did they come to me with a new contract with the new increase? Did they need my money to make Ferguson an offer? and when did the conspiracy start?


I believe it started in March, Easterly did something that I had never seen him do in my three years at the station and that was to come in town and stay for several days. Normally Easterly would only be at the station a couple of days and the former Memphian would be gone. It is doing this time that I think that Easterly went after Ferguson thinking that I would just walk away silently.


On his FaceBook page dated March4th Easterly writes "NOW WORKING IN MEMPHIS AT KWAM990.GREAT LOCAL SHOW UNDERWAY" What great local show was he in reference to? surely this busy businessman with all his holdings was not concerned about little one hour $150 shows was he? Or was Easterly who made it his business to avoid me at the station plotting how to take my money and breach my contract at the same time?


In that same FaceBook quote,A Carolyn Meaders asked "Are you the Dj?" where a Marty Moore responses "CAROLYN LET'S HOPE NOT, WE HAVE LISTENERS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR BRAND OF ENGLISH". then to imply laughter, smiley faces are typed in. What did Moore mean? was he referencing the Black audience of KWAM? Was he stating that the speaking of KWAM's Black audience not up to the English of KWAM's white audience? Was Moore being racist and poking fun at Blacks who listen to KWAM?


But who is this Marty Moore and why does he use the word WE in reference to the listeners who he states does not speak OUR brand of English. Well he's Martin W. Moore President and Chief Operating officer of Legacy Media Holdings, And Chief Financial Officer of Legacy Media Memphis, owners of KWAM.


So it appears that to Michael Easterly and Martin Moore, and George Bryant, that Blacks are beneath them and serve them no purpose but to work their fields and bring the harvest to them. It seems that Easterly with all his money sought in March to breach my contract and to use Bryant who runs the day to day operation of KWAM as his whipping boy. Easterly even allowed Bryant to take a check for a $1000 from me as a down payment on this week's show on last Thursday knowing that their was a plan to cancel the show the following day. I received the check from Hicks Convention Services and signed it over to them.


I am suing KWAM for $500,000 and will be going to court on May 26,2010 I plan to prove that KWAM took my money from the time of the signing of a contract to end August 15,2010 with plans to breach. In discovery we will ask for................ Well I'll let that be a surprise cant give these racist time to change paper work can I?


But it appears from the FaceBook page that KWAM does not care about Blacks and only want to take their money. Hopefully Corey Maclin and The Shelby County Democratic Party, Christian Funeral Home, and any other Blacks doing business with this racist station will cease to do business and take their business else where.


I also hope that now since this story will be listed every time someone googles the name of Michael Easterly, Marty W. Moore, KWAM, And Legacy Media Holdings that businesses will realize that this company is made up of racists that care nothing about Blacks and will even have their executives poke fun will decide not to do business with them.
