EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON (29 July 2013): We’re wasting our time with the Hannity’s we’re wasting our time with the Bill O’Reilly’s and now the Don Lemon’s. You know and I happen to agree with that. You know I stay away from these guys. You know I don’t talk about them. They have an agenda.
Bob, as you well know and once again at the risk of sounding like a broken record, the agenda it to make a show to make ratings. They will do whatever anything and everything to make ratings.
So, you know a Don Lemon comes along I mean they don’t have to have a program, they don’t need to have a program they’re not gonna have a program for change in our community. They’re not going to be involved in anything, that’s not their role.
They are professional hit men, they are professional in the case of Lemon and Reilly, O’Reilly and Hannity they’re professional assassins of African-Americans, the image of all the things that we fight for that we struggle for and all of the challenges that we are faced, that’s their job.
They’re paid assassins and they’re paid quite well. So it is and I happen to agree, it is in some ways almost ridiculous you know to trade barbs with these guys, you know they have an agenda and we should hour our agenda.
