MTV VJ Pvt. Jessica Lynch
Politics 06/17/2003 |This is just disgusting — the New York Times has an article exposing CBS’ attempt to buy Pvt. Lynch through TV movies, books…and an MTV special event concert.
MTV Networks, the letter went on, was offering a news special, a chance for Private Lynch and her friends to be the co-hosts of an hourlong music video program on MTV2, and even a special edition of its hit program “Total Request Live” in her honor. “This special would include a concert performance in Palestine, West Va., by a current star act such as Ashanti, and perhaps Ja Rule,” the proposal said.

Maybe instead of doing all these high-cost promotional gigs, they could instead offer to employ some folks from PFC Lynch’s hometown - This month’s Harper’s Index claims that her West Virginia hometown has an unemployment rate of 15%. That’s if memory serves.

Kirsten is right. If CBS is going to ues PFC Lynch (and they ARE using her) At least do something good.

I know I have said this before, but I believe it with all my heart - Pvt. Lynch was not the only POW, however, she is the only one who combines the attributes of being white, female, and cute. This is America at its worst - racist, sexist, and leering.
