The Silencing of Conservative Journalism – an Interview with Stacy Washington – Episode 255

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young invite conservative columnist Stacy Washington onto the podcast. Recently, Stacy was suspended from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch because she defended the NRA in one of her op-ed pieces, arguing against a claim that the NRA is more dangerous to America than ISIS.

Stacy tells her side of the story and talks about her experiences – in both the media and her life – as a proud and outspoken gun-owning African American conservative woman. They discuss the out-of-touch, dying newspaper industry – usually run by liberals – and talk about the mindset of some Americans that keep them from getting ahead.

Stacy Washington is the host of the Stacy on the Right Show, broadcast on Urban Family Talk Monday through Friday from 2-3pm out of St. Louis Missouri. Stacy is a co-chair of the Project 21 National Advisory Council of the National Center for Public Policy Research.
