He puts on the smile with those people, but listen to what he's asking them.

Also, listen to the information he gets on the airwaves. If being balanced on Tavis Smiley means giving Cornel West a regulat slot and then merely being civil to a few right wingers while eliciting the rope to hand themselves, it's a fair price to pay.

This is NPR after all, and apprently he wasn't enough of a whore for consumption that WDET couldn't live without him. (Notice, they're keeping The Motley Fool and Tech Nation, which are both basically shows telling you what you can spend money on.)
