Media mogul Tyler Perry partnered with BET and Viacom CBS for a television special aimed at raising COVID-19 vaccine awareness among Black Americans. The segment analyzes a clip of Perry receiving the vaccine at Grady Health System and questions the use of Run DMC's "Walk This Way" as a subliminal tool for compliance. The hosts express skepticism regarding the reported "one in three" vaccine hesitancy statistic cited by Gayle King.
Joe Scarborough delivered a passionate rant on Morning Joe criticizing the New York Times and Washington Post for failing to defend Gail King against death threats. He compared the situation to Donald Trump's attacks on the press, accusing the media of a "conspiracy of silence." The hosts interpret this as a formal attempt by corporate media to cancel Snoop Dogg.
The intense media defense of Gail King is attributed to high-level corporate memos and the influence of Oprah Winfrey. The hosts discuss the "Boule" as advisors who carry water for power structures rather than the community. They also note the competitive relationship between Viacom and Oprah, specifically mentioning Tyler Perry's move to BET.
