Robert "Rob" Redding Jr. (born January 13, 1976) is an independent activist, author and American commentator. Redding is the Editor & Publisher of "ReddingNewsReview.com" and host of Redding News Review, a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast targeted to blacks and beyond.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia he has been named one of the "100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Host in America" by Talkers Magazine and awarded a proclamation by the Atlanta City Council for his hard hitting uniquely independent talk radio show.
He has also been called "one of the most respected names in the media" (Upscale magazine), "one of the most intellectual and intriguing radio talk show hosts since Tavis Smiley" (Radio Facts) and a "rising star" (Talkers magazine).
Redding is author of Hired Hatred: Why politicians and the political prejudices they tout are mutually exclusive from good government. His independent manifesto is said to "invoke an activist spirit", according to a review in 2005 by New York's Black Star News.
In 2006, he founded IndependentThinkers.org, an organization dedicated to conducting research and rewarding its members with scholarships, internships, jobs, publishing, broadcasting and networking opportunities that advance critical nonpartisan independent thought, according to the group's Web site.
[edit] The Smear Painter
Redding is also an artist, who paints abstract "smear paintings". The Washington, D.C. Georgetowner highlighted only his art in a group show on Capitol Hill in 2006 writing: "It is always an event anytime Rob Redding's smear paintings are featured."
