These #B1 #FBA #ADOS love to call #RolandMartinUnfiltered @BlkStarNetwork a failed platform. So why keep tweeting about and posting about me? Oh, maybe because we are growing and they are mad. Boo, this is our 2021: 1/5

To all my haters, we cover the news at #RolandMartinUnfiltered @BlkStarNetwork. What we don’t do is waste our time on jealous folks. We are busy BUILDING a real Black-owned media company. #BringTheFunk 5/5

BREAKING NEWS: Black News Channel @BNCNews staffers are angry and demanding answers after getting an email yesterday that their paychecks are being delayed. I have been inundated with phone calls, texts and emails from staffers on this issue. @bnc_ceo Princell Hair told me 1/5 Image
15 minutes ago: “I am working hard to get people paid for the work that they’ve done.” Staffers say they have been left in the dark for nearly 24 hours as to whether they will be paid. @BNCNews is owned by billionaire @Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, who became the majority owner 2/5
When he invested $50 million in the upstart cable network. It was originally launched by former @GOP congressman JC Watts, and a group of other investors. The network has struggled to build an audience since its founding. Among the big names @BNCNews Hair hired to helm shows 3/5

If you live in New York State, you should absolutely opposed this deal. Why in the hell would you give $1 billion in TAXPAYER money when the owner is worth $7 billion? "Buffalo Bills' billionaire owner set to get $1B in public funds for new stadium" nypost.com/2022/03/11/buf… 1/4
These taxpayer-funded @NFL stadium deals are pathetic and atrocious. They offer no real financial benefit to the city and county. This is all about an emotional attachment to a team. This is how the NFL screw cities. Owners threaten to leave and politicians get scared. 2/4
Look at the @Raiders. They had no interest in staying in Oakland. They took that $750M for a Las Vegas and Nevada stadium and bounced. @RamsNFL owner Stan Kroenke is worth $10.7 billion; his wife, Ann is a @Walmart heir, and he tried to fleece St. Louis to buy a new stadium. 3/4

For the 3rd time in a week, I’ve had people get mad because I’ve not covered a story they say needs attention. NOW do y’all see why this fight for Black-owned media dollars matter? I’m ONE PERSON. I don’t have producers or reporters I can assign to spend weeks investigating. 1/8
And some of these folks demanding I do something don’t even follow me, which means they likely aren’t even members of the #RolandMartinUnfiltered @BlkStarNetwork #BringTheFunk Fan Club. REPORTING costs money. It doesn’t just happen.2/8
So when I am posting about Black-owned media fighting for advertising, I need y’all to RT, repost and share. $322 BILLION is spent annually on advertising, and we COLLECTIVELY get .5% to 1%. The reason no Black-owned media outlet doesn’t do lots of news is $$$. 3/8

This is why y’all should stop listening to fools who can’t read. Fools hollering that Hispanic Serving Institutions got more money than HBCUS, to the tune of $11B to $2.7B, in the American Rescue bill. Now ask why? Because there are 103 HBCUs and 411 HSIs. My alma mater 1/5
@TAMU Texas A&M is an HSI. A&M is 55% white. to be an HSI, you must be 25% Hispanic. What’s dumb is that the money going to HSIs are really majority white colleges. And Blacks go there too.
2. It’s stupid and idiotic to ONLY look at the American Rescue Plan to determine what 2/5
HBCUs have gotten. That $2.7B is just ONE bill. I literally showed you the MULTIPLE pools of money on #RolandMartinUnfiltered. It was the spreadsheet sent to me by Jim @ClyburnSC06 @clyburn. Watch here: Money to HBCUs was in CARES Act 1; CARES Act 2; 3/5

I'm confused as to why @brianstelter and all of these journalIsts at @CNN are acting so damn confused. I know a Black woman who was fired by CNN for violating company social media policy. Jeff Zucker violated company policy on relationships. This ain't hard. 1/5
Didn't Jeff Zucker fire three @CNN employees who violated the company's COVID protocols? How can the CEO hold people accountable but he not have to follow the same company rules? These @CNN folks need to wake up in the real world. 2/5
Hey @brianstelter, in 2010 @CNN fired @MediaJonKlein as president/U.S. it was a shock to us. Jon was very supportive of me. I could meet with him at any time. Many of us were saddened, but we kept it going. We didn't need to be picked up off the mat. We WENT BACK TO WORK. 3/5

I really hate awful and shoddy reporting. And this @TheRoot article, which is based on an equally shoddy reporting job by @isagutierreznbc, regarding HBCU funding. Let me first deal with the @NBCNews story by Isa. In it, she talked to three HBCU students about @JoeBiden's 1/20
Campaign commitment to spend upwards of $60B on HBCUs during his first term. Not first year, but first term. In the story, @isagutierreznbc talks to a @HowardU student about the lack of funding and the housing crisis. Nowhere in the story did Isa state how much Howard gets 2/20
From the federal government on an annual basis. Nowhere did she state the INCREASE @HowardU has gotten over the last 18 months. @isagutierreznbc also talked to an Alabama A&M student who complained about the need for more professors and buildings. Nowhere did Isa say that 3/20
