What You Aren't Supposed to Say About Detriot

Debbie Schlussel has something to say about Detriot and the mainstream media:

TV teaches you a lot about what you can and can't say in America, these days.

On Wednesday Night's NBC line-up, Christians were portrayed as violent fanatics who try to blow up a Detroit mosque. The Minutemen, citizens who patrol our borders, are portrayed as cold-blooded murderers.

But the only ones who are apologizing are the billionaire Maloof brothers who own the NBA's Sacramento Kings, for daring to show the real Detroit. Jimmy Kimmel had to apologize, too, for making fun of Detroit on his ABC late-night show.

What's wrong with this picture?

In the case of the Maloof brothers, they recently showed the real picture, before an NBA home game between their Sacramento Kings and the Detroit Pistons. But, unlike NBC's TV line-up, it wasn't fiction or even carefully crafted "Reality TV."

The Maloofs' team showed a series of real images of burning cars and burned out homes in the City of Detroit. And despite the fact that Detroiters just re-elected Pimp Daddy Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick--who sent Detroit to the brink of receivership while the married mayor used his 21 bodyguards to hustle girlfriends, strippers, and other assorted paramours--Detroiters are mad that Californian billionaire siblings dare expose what's really happening in the rustiest, most failing major city in the rust belt.

Heh,at least farming is making a comeback in Detriot.
