The Social Justice Gatekeeper, Mark Thompson has been replaced by the buffoonism of a quasi-sports show, while Ambrose Lane Sr is replaced by Sharpton. **Lee Michaels, newly appointed Program Director for XM The Power has been the mastermind of the dismantling of the only national African-American Talk Channel dedicated to speaking truth to power. **(History:LaFontaine Oliver originally hand picked the shows that would grace the airwaves of XM THE POWER. He single-handedly created an oasis for the freedom of speech, open dialogue, and global galvanization. In February he resigned.) **Lee Michaels, Program Director for Syndication One/Satellite One ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports directly to Zemira Jones,VP of Operations [EMAIL PROTECTED] **Since Feb 2007, Lee Michaels has systematically and strategically dismantled the original Power. The change came in March when several shows were cancelled and realigned to make room for Sheryl Underwood, an inexperienced fowl-mouthed Republican comedian, to take over the prime time slot at 10:00am, but only lasted less than a month. **The audience continued to email and call in sharing their disbelief and dislike of this new lineup. **On July 26, Mark Thompson/Host, Dana Carl(his producer), Amrbose I. Lane Sr./Host, and Ralph Cooper (his producer) were called up to a 1:00meeting to be unceremoniously fired. They were told that economics was the issue, when on Syndication One they have 2 producers,making $80, producing one show. Ralph and Dana are producing several shows for less than $30K. Dana and Ralph also collectively produce George Wilson/GW on the Hill, Wilmer Leon/On With Leon, Urban Journal/Keith Murphy, Alvin Jones/Too Much Information, and Dr. Barbara Reynolds/Reynolds Wrap. **I believe all these shows will ultimately be cancelled, so that there is nothing left of the original Power. *****Alfred Liggins, Zemira Jones, and Lee Michaels have also been linked to the RNC. At the recent Urban League event, young black republicans were said to have mentioned, to an unnamed Talk Show Host on the Power (Joe Madison), that they "looked forward to working with him." The RNC will be providing show content and advertising. Like Armstrong Williams, THE POWER is playing a deadly game that will backfire and contine to neuter our credibility. The Power is now "BOUGHT AND PAID FOR" **Lee Michaels has been pushing Republican content since he came onboard. (Sheryl Underwood, Raynard Jackson). Lee is also married to a white woman. **Al Sharpton's cell phone number is 917-658-0305. Can you call him and let him know the background and situation. Does he want this to be part of his legacy? **Al Sharpton is about to be linked to the RNC. **The remaining producers are Lee Michael's folk from LA. **By the way, he has been fired from Radio One before. **I heard he's Cathy's boy. I hope this helps in your campaign. Mark is talking about bringing all the hosts together for an online/internet radio show. If you have suggestions, please let him know. Mark's cell phone is 202-246-1557 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
