Last week we wondered aloud (as well as here on The Blaze) why was MSNBC’s Ed Schultz solo-hosting a program called ‘The Black Agenda.’ After all, in April of 2010 Tamron Hall and Ed co-hosted a similarly titled special program on the network, but this year, it was all Ed and only Ed.
Today when we learned that Rev. Al Sharpton was added to the Ed-packed lineup as co-host. This prompted more questions;
Was Sharpton added because many people were publicly asking the same question posed here?
And, if so, why Sharpton?
Perhaps we have stumbled onto the answer.
Earlier today on ‘Morning Joe,’ Al Sharpton stopped by to mark the anniversary of the assassination Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As the segment was coming to a close, the discussion shifted to a special award that Sharpton’s National Action Network was bestowing upon MSNBC President Phil Griffin;
Let’s review, shall we?

"MSNBC ADDS SHARPTON AS CO-HOST OF ‘THE BLACK AGENDA’ – WHY?"
Well, Rev. Al is black, and he always has an agenda–typically that of promoting Rev. Al.
Late night truth radio reported that NY Teachers Union has Sharpton on their payroll @ $50,000…..union dues cover a good deal beyond the classroom and thework places.
The Black Agenda is good idea, but it could not become legislative law. How will the Black Agenda be implemented to improve the quality of living standards of all Africans American?
