25. OK - What do you think it means?
Why didn't he say what it was that NPR was doing that he objected to - other than "advocating against the interests of black people"?

Just what interests might those be that NPR is against - and why didn't he describe them?

I find it preposterous that NPR would do anything that a progressive would interpret as being against the interests of any minority.

If he thinks they did then he should be up front and spell it out so NPR can defend itself if they wish to.

Instead, he gives this nebulous press statement that smears NPR as being against the interests of blacks. To make that statment in a way that NPR can't defend seems disingenuous to me as well as an attempt to damage NPR in the eyes of the black audience.

And it also seems like the perfect segue into his own more RW oriented show on another network. But it makes no difference what I suspect or what you think. We are both about to be shown what Tavis Smiley is up to.

Besides, like I said, I could be way wrong. And like I also said - I hope so.
