“National Public Radio’s in-house watchdog says that the firing of Juan Williams for his remarks about Muslims was “poorly handled.” “

Great googly moogly, the pathetic wankers don’t even know what they did wrong.

“They (the people) are mad as hell...”

Translation: “We have really stepped in it and didn’t see this coming.”

Still remember the top story in ??? of 1997. “The plight of lesbian punk rock fans”.

Never donated again.

So out of touch with reality it defies even a twisted imagination.

Don’t leave me hanging, bro. What happened to those lesbian punk rock fans? Were they alright? I need closure.

I gotta feel for the poor ombudsman. She probably had no idea what had happened till it hit the fan. I’d put down a fairly high wager that they didn’t even let her in on it until the news hit cyberspace.

I think it was online last night at this time. She was probably fast asleep.

She made matters worse and blamed the listeners for making it about NPR itself and not about what Juan Williams said and proceeds to run down the litany of “violations of standards” that Juan committed.

She knew about it at the time, she didn’t post her blog post response until about 24 hours later.

You’re right. The Marxist dictators at NPR are willing to do CAIR’s bidding because they and their parents have been brainwashed into believing that Americans are evil and all the rest of the world are angels. There should no longer be Public Radio; the idea itself was Marxist from the start, sold under the facade claiming it would not be influenced by capitalist revenues. Instead we got the most tainted of all stations; Karl Marx and his heirs are the advertisers within. Let the free market reign over radio and the best content attract audiences. Let NPR become a footnote in history.

The ombudsman is arguing that firing Juan was the right thing to do. The only error was a process error.

Well that's cool with me. When your enemy is making a mistake I say get the hell out of the way. Full speed ahead. I'm going to pop popcorn and watch the train wreck!

Actually I am glad it happened it shined the light on the bias at NPR and also connected dots to certain evil interest like Soros. For Juan it was bittersweet and maybe now just a tad of liberalism will be shed from his persona
and sounds like he got a better gig with more mmoney it is a win win for Jaun :)

“Poorly handled”? I guess NPR thinks it should have waited a month so people wouldn’t realize that NPR is a partner with CAIR in shaking down America whenever a peep is said about the number one threat to the world - radical Islam. CAIR uses strong arm scare tactics daily all over the U.S. to get organizations and speakers to cancel their speaking engagements about Islam. THey are racketeers who deserve prosecution.

I'll be she called the Titanic's voyage "Less than it could have been," and of the Hindenburg's landing, "I've seen better."

She's peeved that they didn't do it in a way that would allow them to deny that they fired him over something like this. Much better if it was done behind closed doors, with a nondisclosure bonus or something. What they really regret is that people are calling them liberals and that they might lose their government kiss in the mail.

What is it with the left? They must not be able to face those they fire.
