Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the COMPUSA thing a couple of years ago???
Also, do we REALLY think that Viacom, a multinational corporation that gives $$$ to politicians in BOTH parties so that they will do the company's bidding, is going to fire the man because he got black folks fired up against ONE Senator re: the HBCU thing? If that's the case, why not buy off Jesse or Al Sharpton? Oops, my bag, they've done that already!
I'm not saying that gag attempts aren't made, but I think we need to look at this as a money thing--shows like Tavis' cost $$$ to produce; booty video shows and other intellectual cotton candy cost nothing to produce. I'm sure Viacom is trying to boost that 50+ percent profitability rate even higher, and an expensive news show with a host who's got his book signings, lectures and other irons in the fire is expendable to them.
