“I like Jonathan Capeheart. I appreciate WNYC’s got a problem with diversity on-air, but 1. JC’s just not interesting to listen to. 2. Over 30 years,I’ve heard Lopate interact with women in the arts, intelligently, sympathetically. Having him frog-marched out of WNYC by security on the advice of Walker’s consultants is cruel. 3. The woman whose complaint about his explaining the origin of “avocado” (indigenous South American people’s word for “testicle”)shows how petty, humorless, autocratic and hostile to grown-up discussion the Walker regime has been.
Not listening to this show, and curtailing my support of WNYC until Walker’s gone and Lopate’s reinstated or otherwise issued a thoroughly groveling apology.”
