Here's hoping that April Ryan retains her edge, and doesn't forget the shabby treatment this White House has doled out to her, which I'm sure has nothing whatsoever to do with her color or sex, because we're all post-racial now according to the Supreme Court and sexism is, like, totally dead.

A W apologist in the early 2000s. She gave W lots of favorable coverage because policies encouraged black home ownership... This was during the time that it was revealed taxpayer $ was being spent to buy favorable coverage of the W administration from Armstrong Williams.

I think April is an opportunist and will hire out to whichever side is paying her...
