There was nothing to get fired over, but they could have avoided the problem by saying radical Muslims IMO.
Of course we all know that represents 95% of them IMO.
Anything presenting itself as news should be pulled from NPR.
On the interview shows, if you have a liberal, they should counter time with a conservative. This IS PUBLIC FUNDS.
Los Angeles is dropping PBS programming, already gave notice.current

All it can do is deny it any federal grand money
Really? So if the Ku Klux Klan started a broadcast radio station which paid nothing for its FCC license and paid no taxes because it was a "non profit organization", the only thing the Federal government could do is deny it federal funding?

Update: NPR says it got 378 angry emails about Williams in 2008, making him a lightning rod. Well that explains it. They HAD to fire him. Ninety-eight percent of their audience was angry at him.

Agreed, pull the supposed news and balance out on any interviews but I doubt it’ll happen.

NPR needs to have its non-profit status and broadcasting licenses revoked.Does this mean that donations to NPR and PBS are tax deductible? When foundations and companies get themselves named on PBS it's just like advertising.
To: WayneS
Gawrsh. 378 entire emails in the most intense political year in the history of America.
So how about we send them 379 emails protesting each of NPR's remaining lefty contributors? Then they'd have to fire the whole lot.
To: WayneS
Ninety-eight percent of their audience was angry at him.LOL! Ninety-eight percent is definitely a lightning rod so I guess they're right. :)

Besides public broadcasting’s political bent (clearly slanted left), it’s anachronistic. With a plethora of cable and satellite programming, there’s simply no need for it. Even without broaching the political issue, it should come to an end as a fiscal measure.

“I think NPR could compete,”
PBS might make it but if NPR had to compete it would turn out like its identical twin (not on the) Air America.

Maybe, but there is no other website I’m aware that has so many concerts available to stream as well as streaming albums before they are commercially available. Never listen to their news, but enjoy all of the music related stuff they do.
