Fox cuts LL Cool J segment from Palin's New Show

[Clio the Leo]

Yay!!! A small victory against Fox, but I'll take it!

A Fox News spokesperson responds that they are cutting the LL Cool J interview from the Palin:

"Real American Stories" features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith’s interview fit that criteria. However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career.

Funny that they felt the need bash his acting career in the process. CLEARLY they do not remember the great LL Cool J v. Kool Moe D rap battles of the 80s lol. I have the impression that Fox doesn't understand who they are dealing with. ;)

1. their snark never stops n/t

2. "a program that could serve as an inspiration to others" - cute

It could be a lot of things. It won't do any of them, but it could.

[csziggy]

34. Palin could inspire me to become bulemic

:puke:

[xultar]

3. fledgling acting career my ass. Fuck them. They are going to mess with LL

now. Bastards.

[NewJeffCT]

4. he's been an actor for a while now, hasn't he?

Never a headline star, but he's had some good supporting roles.

[Cha]

9. Yes, he has and now he's in a huge

network show with great writing and acting on CBS. NCIS LA and I try to never miss it along with the other shows that night, NCIS & The Good Wife.

5. Looks like Fox is pissed

According to them, LL Cool J "does not want to be associated with a program that could be an inspiration to others," and his career is "fledgling" (even though he's a major co-star on a hit NCIS spinoff series). Since he blew the whistle on their phony promo for the show, he's now persona non grata. Surprise, surprise!

[Cha]

12. The Presdient is persona non grata with fauxsn00ze,

too. It's their badge of honor.

6. "fledgling acting career"

I'm sure the snarky conservative writer of that little tidbit would fucking DIE to have a career like LL Cool J. :rofl:

Dear Fox news Douchebag:

"You're the kind of guy who gets suspicious
I'm the kinda guy who says 'Puddin' is delicious."

7. Oh man, I forgot he was Ridikolus

He was hilarious in that episode!

[Cha]

11. Thanks, I thought that was him

in The Last Holiday..which I thought was Fun-ny!

[Cha]

8. "Mr Smith"? This is a feather in his cap

afaic. As to his acting career..he's doing an awesome job on NCIS LA. We(the audience/his fans B-))couldn't be happier with him. The writing and the acting is stellar.

And, palin's interviewing..the hatemonger who incites violence? Meanwhile the teahadists are threatening Rep Grayson's 5 year old son?!!

[monmouth]

13. He's the only reason I tune into that show. He's wonderful. n/t

[Cha]

15. I like 'em all and I've watched NCIS for

years and all the reruns and this spinoff is Excellent tv.B-)

[monmouth]

18. No one even touches Jethro Gibbs. He is the man...LOL....n/t

[Cha]

21. Love him..I love 'em all..but

I love to watch McGee.:)

[monmouth]

26. Isn't he the sweetest? Denoso (sp?) drives me crazy sort of but

then he's okay. Abby, out there....

[Cha]

27. DiNozzo..:) Abbs, McGeek, Ziva :) nt

[etherealtruth]

25. NO ONE comes close to LJG

.... but LL Cool J is the stuff fantasies are made of.

[prolesunited]

10. Haha

He is *way* more of a star than Palin. That's why the execs were trying to hook *their* star to him. I'm glad he protested. Judging by his interviews, he certainly doesn't approve of Fox, Palin or the GOP.

And Toby Keith?!?! haha

Maybe she could invite Victoria Jackson. Could you imagine those two brainiacs doing a segment?

[Cha]

14. Get ol stark raving mad

jon voight up there.. ranting and sputtering.

[prolesunited]

19. Now that would be a ratings trifecta!

Hell, I would tune in just to watch the train wreck.

[Blue Owl]

16. They so desperately want Caribou Barbie to be cool

Ain't gonna happen, you idiots...

[Brewman_Jax]

17. Fox doesn't care

they only time they want black people on camera is to cover their racism, or show off their "cool school" credentials. A visit to imdb.com will show that Mr. Smith HARDLY has a fledgling acting career. For the racists at Fox, black people don't matter unless they serve the network, or are in sports uniforms. :eyes:

Bunch of damned racists. :grr:

[SpiralHawk]

20. Typical republicon propaganda

This is what happens when you let bent-knee corporate media clowns run your so-called political party: RepubliTeabaggers on TeeVee.

[LynneSin]

22. "fledgling acting career" - his acting career has way more substance that Palin's politcal career

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005112/

He's been acting solidly since 1991 including 2 major TV Series (5 years with "In the House" and a spinoff of long running NCIS). He's also had major roles in over 2 dozen major movies.

[Cha]

29. +1

[bleever]

23. The writing style of snotty, know-it-all RW twenty-somethings

is unmistakable.

Maybe it's taught in the "journalism" department at Liberty "University".

[TexasObserver]

24. Proving that clueless dorks still run Fox News.

30. Fledgling acting career?!?!?

Cool J has an ongoing, long term acting career. He's an actor, no modifiers needed at all. First major film role was in 1992, you do the math. That word 'fledgling' is a racist thing when applied to a man who has been at the job for 18 freaking years, working hard the whole time. Wow.

[grace0418]

31. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. They just simply cannot refrain from being assholes. Seriously, just apologize

with a modicum of sincerity. The "fledgling acting career" line completely erases any positive of the statement.

I don't even watch LL's show but I might just do it now.

[eppur_se_muova]

32. Better headline: LLCoolJ rejects phony Palin lead-in to interview, Fox throws tantrum.

Don't let them kid you, it's Fox that's being fired here.

[mwooldri]

33. Fox has a news channel???? That's a first for me...

Kudos to LL :)

I think LL will be classy enough to let the matter drop. After all, the RNC Press Corps are worse than Pravda ever was under Soviet times... at least you KNEW Pravda was propaganda.
