C’mon, WUSA. This was the only news-roundup show hosted by a brother—one who happens to be one of the best live broadcasters in the business.
I will miss this program. Seriously. It was, on average, more lively than “Washington Week” but more cerebral than, say, “The McLaughin Group.” Meaning it was, well, almost perfect as these shows go.

……will be the voice of the Silver Surfer in this summer’s live-action flick “Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Sliver Surfer.”
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
(I really hope this movie will go down as the greatest sequel of all time. )
In response to this news, a poster on the Fantastic Four Message Board said James Earl Jones should be the […]
So now you’ve been told.

Cynthia Tucker for her opinion writing.
And the Special Citation for Our Ancestor John Coltrane? Gee, talk about taking your time…… LOL!

Nothing could be further from the truth. (Has Williams ever gone to a Sharpton speech during the last seven years? Sharpton correctly said on the show that […]
One of the many Afrocentric Listservs that clog my inbox daily provided me with this link, and for that I’m very grateful.
“For The People” was a Black public affairs television show that was unapologetically African-centered. When I first moved to the Washington, D.C. area from the New York tri-state area, I was having serious “Like […]

Was that an actual flash of anger I saw in Gwen Ifill’s eyes last night? Did I hear a momentary change in tone as she delivered her commentary at the end of PBS’ “Washington Week”?
Well, it’s ABOUT. DAMN. TIME, GWEN.

The MSM consensus is that it was female and/or people of color corporate insiders who ulitmately pushed TPTB to push Imus out the door, not protests by Al Sharpton and others. If so, I heartily congratulate the corporate insiders.

I had the honor of seeing him on Broadway in the August Wilson play “Two Trains Running.” But to me, he will always be the voice of The Kingpin, the mob boss who was the main villain on the 1990s FOX Kids “Spider-Man: The Animated Series.”
I even talked to him once, over the phone. Old […]
