INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed filmmaker Warren D. Robinson (image below).

On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviewed Warren D. Robinson Warren D. Robinson, is an avid and accomplished entertainment executive, attorney, motivational speaker, host, life coach and award winning producer who created the wildly popular series, Buried by the Bernards, which is currently streaming on Netflix. Warren has served as an entertainment consultant, manager and producer, facilitating, appearing and negotiating high powered deals on behalf of his clients in front of such companies as: Warner Brothers, BET, CNN, Freemantle, Best Buy, TV ONE, Netflix, Lifetime, Fox News, WE TV, E!, NBC Universal, Viacom and more.  In addition, Warren’s entertainment prowess includes coordinating, partnering and/or producing events for: legendary actress Pam Grier, Taraji P Henson, Gabrielle Union, Vivica A Fox, Soul singer Eddie Levert (of the O’Jays), Comedian Mike Epps, Angie Stone, Flavor Flav, the Indianapolis Colts, Donna Joyner-Richardson, Stephanie Mills, Erykah Badu and Tom Joyner among others. Warren graduated from Indiana University (B.A.-Political Science) and Howard University School Of Law (J.D.).
They discussed:  There is a lot of uncertainty around the halls of cable news network MSNBC as it was announced that the cable channel will be spun off from its larger corporate sibling, NBC, into the fold of an independent company along with a few other cable channels. This may deprive MSNBC of its current fact checking divisions as well as reporting resources since it shares some correspondents and news anchors with NBC news. This news comes on the heels of the hosts of one of MSNBC’s top rated programs recently meeting with Trump in an attempt to change the coverage of his administration over the next four years. “I think the guardrails are going to be completely gone.” Says entertainment executive, producer and attorney Warren D. Robinson, “NBC and their standards were likely the only thing keeping MSNBC in check, with NBC out of the equation I think they are going to lean full in on their far-left programming and views.” Robinson believes it’s one simple reason why MSNBC will lean even further to the left than they already do. “Money!” Robinson says, “without NBC subsidizing certain expenses it will be even more important for MSNBC to make as much profit as possible. Viewing audiences these days don’t care for moderation; they prefer to watch channels that enforce their political views. So going even further to the left will likely be good for their ratings which will translate into additional dollars.”

According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’
