ambush of Ta-Nehisi Coates who came on to discuss his book a year or so ago on his morning program. While the latter is not always my cup of tea, I think Dokoupil's accusations toward him that seemingly made him out to be a literal member of HAMAS was so OTT that I was shocked. Even his bosses agreed reprimanding him (until the big bosses stepped in to give him the A-OK). As mentioned, I am hardly Ta-Nehisi Coates' biggest fan, but that was an obnoxious episode. Probably available on YouTube if any are curious.
