HATEBREED – LONG LIVE HATEBREED! And… BOYCOTT CNN
HATEBREED – As the world turns, over at CNN, they see the world as they want to. They report the news as they like, regardless of knowing the facts. Truth? Forget about it over at CNN. CNN likes to tell us all how to live, what to eat, how much to eat, where to go and of course… here’s the BIG one… who to vote for. The news giant known as CNN has finally tripped up BIG TIME my Metal brethren. CNN has messed with Hardcore/Metal legends HATEBREED in a very disturbing way. CNN has insulted HATEBREED and it’s sickening.
What CNN has done: their enormous news platform was used to accuse HATEBREED of being a “white power” band in a CNN Opinion piece, which was written by a highly misinformed Lonnie Nasatir. This unethical, immoral and flat-out WRONG “listing” of HATEBREED in a list of white power bands is more than mind-boggling… it’s defamation of character and a law has been broken. No, this isn’t about an innocent situation of a band being mislabeled. That’s a certified falsity right there. Yes, CNN, your news platform was used to slander HATEBREED and that can’t be denied.
* Here’s a shocker within this shocking story: Lonnie Nasatir is the Anti-Defamation League’s Chicago/Upper Midwest Director.
Placing HATEBREED on a “list” of white power bands is an outrage! A false label! HATEBREED has been a unifying band for all of us fellow Hardcore, Metalcore and Metal fans, regardless of race, religion or sex. The lyrics of HATEBREED have never divided nor spread hate within our Hardcore and Metal families; if anything, HATEBREED has reached out to all fans through their music, concerts and social networks on a continuous level that is stunningly admirable.

I urge every visitor to Metal Odyssey to boycott CNN and never watch, read or follow their news or programming ever again. CNN and Lonnie Nasatir owe HATEBREED more than a widespread public apology and should be ashamed for their grade school level of journalism.
I write about and communicate with musicians and bands, just about every day of my life. I cannot even comprehend the stupidity level that has taken place here within the CNN world of (laugh) joke journalism. CNN is now: NCNN. What is NCNN you ask? It’s the: NON CREDIBLE NEWS NETWORK.
I predicted within my circles, that a major news network would eventually try to take down Metal Music due to the horrific shooting massacre at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin this past weekend. Connecting this massacre to Heavy Metal white supremacist bands spiraled out-of-control here… and HATEBREED deserves much better than this.
God bless the souls of the shooting victims at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. God bless the families and friends of these innocent victims.
METAL. BE. THY. NAME.

It’s frightening to think how the world just sits compliant and open-mouthed while they are spoon-fed anything the networks decide is the truth, and it is rarely questioned. People, the enemy of the truth is complacency. ASK QUESTIONS! SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT! Don’t accept corporate lies.

I don’t watch CNN anyway but this is right back to the 80s with all the PMRC crap. I listened to a few tracks now and I heard nothing to suggest that Hatebreed are white supremacists.

I call it “frantic journalism”… it’s when misinformed writers frantically write an article to be the “hero of the day” – by breaking a story that is either non-factual in pieces or totally altogether and coincides with defaming an innocent individual or group of individuals.
Thanks for commenting 80’s Metalman \m/\m/
