Marc Short: Can’t Commencement Speeches Be Encouraging Instead of Sticking Politics into It?

EXCERPT:

SHORT: "Look, I mean, I started the show criticizing the president. I‘m comfortable doing that. But I also think that 90% of commencement speakers are liberals. I‘m not sure that journalists are an oppressed class right now. I feel like — my wife is a Wake Forest alum and she was irritated when she saw it, too, feeling like, can‘t you give a commencement speech giving people something encouraging, as opposed to having to bring politics into it?"
