Final Quickie: 

Debra Lee criticizes the Washington Post on its comments about BET
“I was disappointed to read The Post’s article on BET ["Channel Changer," Style & Arts, May 4]. Like all networks, BET has its detractors. But Teresa Wiltz’s story failed to balance the criticism with the reality of our efforts to diversify the network’s programming and present a wide variety of images of African Americans over the past 28 years.”
“We are proving every day that BET can thrive as a business while offering the full range of images — yes, including some that our critics would prefer to never see. We regret that The Post seemed to have made so little effort to acknowledge how we are changing, improving and serving the needs and aspirations of our viewers — aspirations that are more often than not ignored by other networks. “
