Did Tavis purposely exclude Republican candidates, or are the Republicans boycotting because of perceived "bias" of PBS?

Doug:

PBS is hosting a Republican debate on Sept. 27 at Morgan State University. Thanks for posting yet another question of the "have you stopped beating your wife?" variety.

Kudos to DeWayne Wickham and to the A&T journalism program.
