Don't Piss Tom Joyner Off
…especially when he is your number one supporter. This has to be the greatest faux pas of ALL. Joyner stuck by Tavis like glue and gave him a HUGE platform on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) , an opportunity that catapulted Smiley into the stratosphere with an audience of 8 million people but that wasn't quite enough, it appears. Tavis' mysterious departure from the show obviously left a bad taste in Joyner's mouth and you could tell by Joyner's response when Tavis announced he was leaving. Joyner truly believed in Tavis. Once Tavis was gone from the TJMS, it appeared the departure closed many more doors as his influence was greatly affected and he was forced to explore other opportunities.
I side with Tavis. Tom Joyner, Al Sharpton and Steve Harvey are the sell outs. Al used to to criticise the President but has since beeen co-opted. Maybe when he changed his hairdo it changed more than his locks. Steve is a comedienne, propped up by ghost writers nuff said. Tavis raises real issues. It’s just sad our President is black and the recipient of his harsh but true criticism. We need to stand for truth and not popularity or ratings or money. If we would support truth tellrs then they would not have to bow to media moguls and in teh end true voices could be heard vice media and radio talking heads.
