I received an email from Black Press Magazine about the Wendy Williams show, and I was shocked to read the very critical tone of the contents. I watch the show from time to time but I don't see it as bad as they see it. Also, I have worked on the Tyra Banks show and know it takes a lot to put talk shows together. It's easy to critisize from the sidelines. Producing a talk show is not easy at all and I give kudos to anyone who can. Also, as people of color it would be to our advantage to be less critical of each other and do what we can to help each other be the best we can be. A word is enough for the wise...........

The contents of the email are below. What do you think?

(BlackPress.org) - The Washington Post called it "Must FLEE-TV", The Examiner gave it a grade of C+ and Media Life Magazine called it "Weak Week Two." These days the only person suffered a bigger PR nightmare than Barack Obama is former radio show turned TV talk show host Wendy Williams.

If you're a cross dressing, wig loving, severely bored housewife with nothing else on your hands then the trashy mess that is the Wendy Williams Show is for you. If you're a dysfunctional in most areas of your life and feel the need to seek advice from Williams, this show is for you. With segments like "Ask Wendy," "Hot Topics" and more, the live studio audience seems to genuinely love their host who regularly adjusts her wigs on camera.

"The Wendy Williams Show is raunchy, offensive, badly scripted and better made for viral video, but that's exactly why the show will likely be a hit with viewers," said DC Livers, managing editor for Black Press Magazine, the industry publication that analyzes the Black media industry. "Advertisers will proceed at their own risk and anyone who voted against Proposition 8 will have a fit, but the non-commercialization of the Wendy Williams Show makes it grimy and at times hard to watch but the show has the bite of truth and that's what today's viewers want.

"Whenever we say anything positive about Williams the hate mail we receive is amazing, but let's face it. She's cutting edge and tech savvy and that's all she'll need to get renewed for another season. Tyra's show started as just as poorly and look at it now. I don't know if she should have quit her day job [at WBLS in New York] but she's definately on to something. The fact that she was able to negotiate multiple channel licensing deals shows Williams knows her audience and plans to pimp her brand all the way to the bank," Livers said.
