Hitler, Mao and Stalin had goverment-owned and funded media, but why do we?

Funny, Williams is one of the most liberal commentators on FOX, very pro-Obama and pro-democrat. Now he is being attacked by the MSM as being a far right bigot. I think this is a warning shot to other liberals, that if the decide to work for Fox News, they will be attacked regardless of their liberal “cred”.

Juan knew he was working for snakes. Why is he surprised when he gets bit? It is their nature.

Move just one little toe off the plantation, and you’re punished. Real fair and balanced operation there, NPR.

[GraceG]

His defense in this whole mess makes it even more ironic because he was saying that despite his own internal and might I point out prejudices that are inherent in EVERY human, he doesn’t let it affect him.

I hope the media is forced to eat humble pie on this.

DEFUND THEM ! The government needs to balance the budget and this is a good place to start. If they are as middle of the road, independent, nonpartisan as they claim, it will hurt the Right as much as the Left - won't it?

[GoCards]

Groveling is so embarrassing. Man up dude. What is wrong with men?

[j.argese]

Is Mara Laiason (?) next?

I have no sympathy for the whining Juan.... maybe just maybe he will see what some of US have have to deal with over the years of hardcore Marxists...

[mikelets456]

Juan.. Satan’s minions are never fair and they’ll turn on you the first chance they get.

[GreyFriar]

NPR kicks Juan Williams off its bus without a hearing or any appeal. I guess they justify it because he is obviously a traitor for appearing on Fox News. And didn’t he have a case of leaving the liberal reservation a couple of years because of actually getting mugged or something like that?

[rightwingextremist1776]

I agree...this is straight from the commie handbook....make a public example with a bullet in the skull and the rest will fall in line....looks like Williams was the public example....

Weiss reportedly told him that the decision not to renew his contract had already been decided “up the chain.”

Up the chain is just a way for Weiss to pass the buck. So where does up the chain lead for NPR? Some big liberal donor? Or, given that it is partially government funding, does the chain end in the FCC? The Justice Department? The White House?

[Walts Ice Pick]

Juan knew he was working for snakes.

Exactly.

Would this be a good time for him to suggest that he's a victim of racial discrimination? Now, that would be fun to watch.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I am waiting for the media to trash NPR, kicking a black man to the curb like that..waiting..waiting...waiting

[Redleg Duke]

Every time I see something like this happen, I think about the times that the libs scream "Fascist" at conservatives.

Hypocracy!

Weiss reportedly told him that the decision not to renew his contract had already been decided “up the chain.”

Yeah, up the chain = George Soros. Beck had a story yesterday where Soros recently gave over $100+ million to NPR to expand their "political reporting" and to position NPR to as a foil to Fox News.

This has nothing to do with Williams, its to intimidate liberals from going on FOX and isolating it as a network of freaks and bigots.

Is Mara Laiason (?) next?

No. Her job is safe. There is no chance in aich-ee-double hockey sticks Mara will say something reasonable.

Most of the evils confronting our society currently were passed during Lyndon Johnson's tenure (John F. Kennedy would have wanted it this way).
