A rare and direct attack back at the fully compromised news media which is filled with distortions, corruption, and devious attempts at deceptive propaganda. Fox News is at the top of the list for it's repeated and open, biased and brazen tactics. For the racist material alone, the lyrical skills of Nas speak for a lot of us out there..

If you think actions like this are an empty gesture against a giant corporation, take the case of Jon Stewart. When he made his appearance on CNN's Crossfire [watch the clip here] he confronted the pointless and divisive partisan hackery that made a mockery of civilized debate.. and told them to just stop..stop.. Months later, after more people viewed this video clip than Crossfire itself had viewers in a month, CNN made a decision to cancel the show after 32 years! They did "stop" and Tucker Carlson was removed from the network as well.
I could fill the rest of the page with clips that outrage me from Fox News. Here is simply 14 seconds from one of their latest offenses:
In any case I appreciated this track as a return to form in a way, since I preferred his earlier east coast flavored material such as "It Ain't Hard To Tell."
