Where are the faces of the missing blacks on the news?

I signed a petition that is asking the major news networks to devote one minute of every news hour to domestic violence, specifically black women and other miniorities.   Mr. George Cook, editor of Let’s Talk Honestly website,  is doing good things for not just his community, but also the world.  Please, Check out this poem directed to those major news stations.    I support him in this fight for the faces of our loved ones to get the same amount of exposure as others, but I also think that the two Black owned television stations should be doing more. Why BET didn’t hire Star Jones to be the “black” Nancy Grace?   We did not need another celebrity gossip show and definitely not from her(Star Jones).  I mean really,  how you go from the View to a gossip show?LOL .  I signed the petition but I believe we  need more than one minute of air time  for every hour of news, but it is a start.
