A lot of you are probably too young to remember Donahue, but he was there every single day on TV. Sometimes his topics were trivial, sometimes they were vital, but he always tried to push a progressive angle.
I remember seeing him, but I was too young to care about anything that wasn’t animated.
My (super conservative) Mom always hated his opinions but said she liked that he gave both sides a chance to talk. I don’t really remember the content of the show I just remember the very 80s logo and later (within the last year or two) I saw a clip of his interview with Jerry Falwell.
I don’t feel much about him personally, but later once I found out Mom didn’t really like him (other than "his willingness to talk) I looked him some just on principle. But I do the same for just about any liberal personality at this point in my life for the same reason.
I seriously thought he died like 20 years ago
One of my elementary school teachers used to play his interviews of Farrakhan & the episode with Huey Newton + Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu in summer school, shit changed my whole frequency, peace to that man
damn these people who never died before are now dying out of nowhere, what’s going on?
even the Brazil’s tv presenter Silvio Santos died
Didn’t know he was still alive and definitely thought he’d be older than 88…his hair went white 40 years ago.
