In promoting a myth that liberals have been selling for decades, NPR’s Ombudsman Alicia Shepard wrote the truth as she and others at NPR understand it:
“Instead, this latest incident with Williams centers around a collision of values: NPR’s values emphasizing fact-based, objective journalism versus the tendency in some parts of the news media, notably Fox News, to promote only one side of the ideological spectrum.”

Juan Williams firing was not for any specific comment he made, but rather because he dared to appear on Fox News.
As “everyone” knows, NPR and all the liberal media are objective, and any non-liberal media outlet is biased.
No one could possibly think that NPR promoted only one side of the ideological spectrum.
Mr. Williams stated: “And I always thought the right wing were the ones that were inflexible, intolerant.”
A clear life lesson, the liberal left is and has always been intolerant of anyone who was not a member of the liberal left.

The only good thing about NPR is as the aristocratic exclusion evolves.

Supposedly, Andy Stern left the SEIU $60 million in debt, so I doubt the union is spending another $80 million on these midterms. At some point, the decimals run out.
My association, locally, won’t submit new contract proposals from the bd. of ed. because the union doesn’t want them but the rank and file would accept them.
The lib. assault may be just like the Siegfried line in WW I–hollow.
Write NPR and back Juan and call the SOB’s who fired him racists and bigots–he’s black and born in a Hispanic setting. How low can NPR go.
Bork’em.
