3. I'm sorry, but Smiley has turned whore
I used to think Tavis was OK. But then he started allowing his radio show on NPR to be just another platform for the likes of Gingrich and Watts. I mean, it isn't like these guys don't already have every other possible media venue at their immediate disposal to spew forth their propagandistic venom.

But no. Smiley began having them on regularly. What used to be an oasis of truth and critical talk has now become just another cog in the RW media machine.

Frankly, it was probably the fee for getting his PBS gig. Whores are all the same. Flaunt a little money (or exposure, or a TV program) in front of them, and they'll say "What principles?" faster than you can say, "Uncle Tom."
