He should sue them, arguing that the real reason had nothing to do with his "controversial" comment. I am sure others at NPR have said equally, if not far more controversial things.

Of course the others arent FOX news contributors, so NPR isnt looking for an excuse to fire them.

My opinion - they fired Juan because they didn’t have the power to fire Glenn Beck. They’re doing it to get at Fox, not to get at Juan.

He’s a useful idiot and not too bright anyway! This is a “teachable moment” for him. He’s liberal and can’t believe that he was terminated by another liberal! Shoulda known betta! I don’t feel sorry for him!

Juan McCain is going through the same thing. The Rats are going to investigate him for something. I bet McCain lays off the “My friends” crap.

“Mara Liasson also appears on Fox”

Yes, and that is the heart of the matter. NPR was looking for an excuse to get rid of Juan and probably the same goes for Mara.

Not only should NPR be defunded, but George Soros should have to repay taxpayers for the hundreds of millions of dollars they have contributed over the years to building and equipping this propaganda network that serves only the interests of the Left. The alternative would be to shut it down entirely and sell off the assets.

I’d bet Mara is a little nervous.

Last week I got fired by a racist bigot who had called one of the residents and told her to get her “black ass out of his lobby or he’d call the cops” and I answered her question on who to go to that was higher up than this idiot. For forwarding her phone number (which she requested I do) to a board member to call her (according to rules), this powercrazed/micromanaging director called me in and fired me even though 3 days later he was fired himself!
