Discussing Grandma

I love watching these two men speak. John McWhorter of the conservative Mahnattan Institute and Glenn Loury of Brown University. For a longer excerpt, go here.

It's a good time to interrogate the way the format of cable television--the interruption by the anchor to assert his/her presence, the interruption of the discussion ostensibly to cover other stories but really to push in the advertisers' messages--disrupt nuanced discussion.
