Cornel West and Tavis Smiley on Democracy

10.12.2011

Philosopher Cornel West is one of the most visible public intellectuals in the U.S.   Tavis Smiley is -- after Oprah -- the best known black media figure in the country.  They co-host a weekly public radio talk show, in which they frequently take on the mainstream media and the political establishment.  Both of which they blame for ignoring the disenfranchisement of the working poor.  Steve Paulson talks with them about the state of American democracy.
