Call & Post fails to make payroll after Aunt Jemima ad boycott

By On December 28, 2009 · 3 Comments

Word is either the owner, boxing promoter and all around insane person, Don King, or George Forbes, Mr. I Am All Black Power In Cleveland himself, had to dip into their own pockets to pay the staff. ?Major advertisers have pulled their money in protest of the cartoon portraying Nina Turner as Aunt Jemima for her support of Issue 6 in Cuyahoga County.

I smell an apology coming.

    Great catch, Tim! Frankly, I would have expected the Plain Dealer to drop Call & Post from the Cleveland.com website. Or is that not a website controlled by the PD? In other words, how did these two warring media groups end up on the same site?

    This is why you don't bash family in public, no matter how much u disagree. The folks start taking sides and it just doesn't end well.

    I sure as fuck hope the PD has a controlling interest in Cleveland.com. If they aren't pulling in some ad revenue for their online content then they fully deserve the beating Tim has been giving them.
