On NBC, PBS Star Faults Obama for Moderation, Denounces Town Hall 'Hate'

On NBC, PBS Star Faults Obama for Moderation, Denounces Town Hall 'Hate': "The bosses at PBS must not mind their taxpayer-funded network being defined as liberal in the public mind, because on Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC matched Joe Scarborough on the right with PBS talk-show host Tavis Smiley on the left. Smiley slapped President Obama for trying to be the 'collaborator in chief' instead of commander-in-chief on health care, and denounced protesters at town hall meetings as forces of 'unadulterated hate.'

He also warned against what Martin Luther King called 'the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.' The host of a nightly talk show based at Los Angeles PBS station KCET blamed Obama for being too moderate, not too radical:"
