8. Jesse Jackson Earnings Go Up To $10 Million
In 1968 Jackson was ordained a Baptist minister while still dedicating himself to politics, running for president both in 1984 and 1988. From 1992 until 2000 he hosted his own show on CNN called Both Sides of Jesse Jackson. For over 30 years Jackson supported by mainstream media has declared himself the most prominent leader of black Americans. In Kenneth Timmerman’s book Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson the author questions Jackson’s recently exposed financial transactions and credentials and his scandalous extramarital affair, through interviews and documents just released by the government Timmerman portrays Jackson as a compulsive liar and master manipulator of the public.
