Travis smiley to leave NPR
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 03:35 AM by ribrepin
Talk-show host Tavis Smiley said Monday he will be leaving National Public Radio, which he said has tried hard but fallen short of reaching "a broad spectrum of Americans who would benefit from public radio."



Smiley, 40, said Monday that Dec. 16 will be his last day as host of "The Tavis Smiley Show."


Launched in January 2002, the show is a daily, one-hour program, a collaboration between NPR and public radio stations with predominantly black audiences.

1. While I hate to lose Cornell West on the radio nearly everyday....
Maybe that will keep some Black conservatives off NPR too.

What is with the obsession over magnanimity, anyways? The right never blanches at being perceived as "THE RIGHT," while the left hedges their bets every time and tries to play for the middle, losing their ideals and their audience in the process.
