Clarification: Tom Joyner Morning Show HAS Covered Story of Missing NC Women

I guess we’ll call this a retroactive Good News Tuesday since it came in yesterday. In yesterday’s post about a Newsweek story featuring the murders of 10 Black women in North Carolina I mused:

But before you go to the left on Nancy, how much have you heard from the Tom Joyner Morining Show, Monique, Tavis Smiley, AL Sharpton, Michael Baisden, Warren Baby Hair Ballentine about this case? I don’t listen or watch any of their offering so I don’t know if they covered it or not, but I doubt it. Tell Kathey Hughes to drop one of her performance rights “educational commercials” to run a report about this. WAOD

As is our policy around here, anytime someone who I have criticized in a post offers a coherent response, we bump it up to post-level so that the response will go out on all of the various feeds. So yesterday someone from REACH Media indicated that the Tom Joyner Morning Show HAS covered this story and will continue to update this story.

Also, I have a correction to the story regarding the 10 missing young black women in North Carolina on your other blog “What About Our Daughters” today.  The Tom Joyner Morning Show absolutely covered that tragic story a while ago during our “Inside Her Story” segment weeks ago.  We also check for any updates frequently.

This is such a tragedy and I don’t want people to think we ignored it. It’s never our intention to miss anything that affects our community significantly.  We try to stay on top of these types of issues and make sure our audience is aware.  Really we do.

So there you have it, the Tom Joyner Morning Show HAS covered this story. I stand corrected.
