Yeah, he “pioneered” the talk show format but he also pioneered woke culture, displaying the ideology every day on tv, while downgrading anybody who did not fall in line.
One episode in particular has always stuck in my mind. I’ve searched for it on youtube and other places online but have never been able to find it. Donohue staged an episode titled something like “racist high school kids” and had a bunch of White kids onstage who had issues toward the black kids in their school. It didn’t quite follow the script he had laid out because the kids weren’t hood-wearing baby klan kids with some kind of racist ideology but started complaining about how black kids treated them in high school.
They started telling Donohue about getting beaten up, prevented from using the bathrooms and being called racial slurs by racist black kids. Donohue looked confused for a moment like he wasn’t expecting to hear what he heard and started acting like it was no big deal and they had no right to complain about anything the black kids did. The kids got furious and started yelling: “If they were saying this onstage, you’d be feeling sorry for them.”
At that point Donohue muttered “Well, if those kids were doing those things, it’d be deplorable but....” He turned his back on them, disregarding what they had said and making it clear he wasn’t going to allow the kids to expose that black kids were the violent racist ones, not the White ones.
After that brief moment caught off guard, he snapped back into woke Donohue mode and started declaring that racism toward blacks had no place in high school, that racist White kids were bad...blah, blah, blah...making sure from that point forward the White kids didn’t get a chance to say anything honest and directing the show back to the theme of portraying black kids as the only possible victims, and Whites the only possible perpetrators, of racism in school.
That moment summed up his entire career for me. As far as I’m concerned his death is good riddance to bad rubbish. Burn in hell, Donohue.

How was he a "pioneer"? There were dozens before him; he was a locally-broadcast nonentity till NBC picked him up in, I believe, the 1980s.

RM, Apparently, "pioneer" is another of those terms that says nothing about the person to whom it is applied, as opposed to telling us something about the person who used it. The speaker sees the decedent as an "ally."
Same goes for the msm mantra,"history is being made."
Anytime a nig ties his shoes successfully,holds a job for a week or kicks a White,demented guy off the presidential ticket,"history was made."
That's my most hated phrase of the last 4 years.
