It has been about three weeks since NPR announced that it was pulling the plug on the mid-day program, Tell Me More.
As program directors continue to seek replacement programming, there has been no small amount of bandwidth expended on the dissection of what went wrong and why. A Black religious organization has called on its members to not contribute to NPR, and the program's host suggests Tell Me More was a victim of "executive churn" at the network.
Here is a selection of what some media reporters and others have said:
