ONN – Zennie62Media CEO Zennie Abraham Live Vlog Rebuttal To Email From Tanya Dennis Oakland Post Reporter – video made by the YouTube channel in the video’s upper left hand corner.
Oakland Post Reporter Tanya Dennis wrote this email to me regarding a YouTube video that was posted by an onlooker, and mentioning that blacks and whites were involved in its description. So, I used my Zennie62Media system to like the YouTube video, thereby making it a blog post that I could write my news commentary take on, for Oakland News Now. This process takes seconds.
What I find is that people do not click beyond what they see before them – so Tanya Dennis assumed I made the video, even though the fact is in the fine-print below it. Then she say “get the facts” – well, what facts? That’s not going to change my opinion.
What Tanya Dennis and the Oakland Post (and I assume Paul Cobb green lit this) do not get, is that there’s no such thing as objective journalism, and basically she prove it in her email to me. That’s awesome. As I explain in this live stream, my view is that the people there acted like they were staging their own sub-event – and I do not believe the entire approach was a good idea. It was done without regard to how social media can take control of a narrative.
But here’s Tanya Dennis. Thanks, Ms. Dennis.
Hi Zennie,
Hope you are well and thriving.
I just watched the video you published from yesterday’s Police Chief rally intended to bring people together to end gun violence in Oakland. Your title was disturbing. . .I wish you had gone a step further to determine the reason for the confrontation, as simply publishing the video with no explanation did a disservice to news reporting.
There is always a reason. The reason here was the group that were disrupting the rally were disrespecting parents and advocates there to speak regarding escalating gun violence in Oakland. The disrupters were there to protest the police as they want them defunded, yet their insensitivity was appalling and not to be tolerated.
They were making loud noises when mom’s were sharing the loss of their child and other speakers not connected to OPD. That is why Black interveners confronted them.
Next time, please get the facts. People need to know more than just watch a video that makes no sense.
At this time it is essential that “leaders” get on the same page. If we don’t, we are hypocrites, undeserving of the public trust, as, how can we ask warring factions in the Black community to squash their beef when we don’t?
Out of this comes growth. . .Daryle Allums is going to ask that we have a meeting at Liberation Park this Sunday with all sides as we all want the same thing, an end to gun violence. Like the brother said amid the chaos, “We’ve got to start loving each other.” This division will do what division does. . .divide us so that nothing is accomplished and violence wins.
I hope the people responsible for sending the protestors will agree, and join us, as a closed fist is more powerful than an open hand. WE HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER IF WE ARE TO WIN THIS WAR AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE IN OAKLAND.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tanya Dennis, Reporter

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
