BOR really hit this out of the park, and between his kindness to Juan, and Juan's brave but humble front, it was very emotional segment.

No matter how much we can disagree with Juan we always like and respect him, and you could tell he was hurt right to the core.

NPR has to be defunded finally along with PBS, they could have those jerks that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars be replace by volunteers taking no money at all.

NPR has to be defunded

No, no, no, no, NO!

That's an incredibly short-sighted view to take.

So long as NPR takes taxpayer dollars they are subject to Congressional OVERSIGHT

I want NPR to keep getting taxpayer money, so that in the next Congress Chairman Issa can investigate the living h*ll out of them, make them turn over all their documents, emails etc regarding not on Juan Williams, but also whatever deals they may be cutting with their other sources of funding (like Soros).

And if their leadership refuses to comply? Nail their a**es to the wall for Contempt of Congress and throw them into jail until they DO comply.

Being subject to Congressional oversight is a HUGE enabler to exposing what's going on inside their operation.
