Romney Has Lindsay Lohan, Stacey Dash; Obama Has Honey Boo-Boo

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (3)

Georgia might be considered a “red” state, but it’s refreshing to see that not all self-proclaimed rednecks are aligned behind the red party.

Lindsay Lohan recently expressed her support of Mitt Romney. President Barack Obama has Honey Boo Boo in his corner.

Alana Thompson, the 7-year-old star of the series “Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo” stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” with her mother, June Shannon. Honey Boo-Boo wrangled the audience’s attention with her restlessness and unexpected outbursts. At one point she yelled, “You better red-neck-ognize!”

The stars talked about nicknames, couponing and the Kardashians (which they said they do not watch). They also talked politics.

 Kimmel informed Honey Boo-Boo that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on “Live! With Michael and Kelly” that he preferred “Jersey Shore” starlet Snooki over Honey Boo Boo.  He then asked which candidate she would vote for, that is, if she could vote. Alana announced her support of Obama, or as she put it “Marack Obama.”Also during the interview, June Shannon revealed that much of the money the family has received from their show has gone to a trust fund for all of her children. She also said some money goes to community outreach programs like The UR Brand that advocates for anti-bullying.”You better red-neck-ognize!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
