National Patronizing Radio

Anna Christopher, who is "senior manager of media relations" at National Public Radio, spent yesterday doing some serious explaining. Most of us probably didn't know that NPR had any managers of media relations, much less a senior one, and certainly didn't care. NPR is free to waste money any way it chooses, even if some of the money does come from taxpayers.
Anyway, seems Ms. Christopher was called upon to manage the media regarding NPR's firing of Juan Williams for saying something inconsistent with the company line. The problem was what he said, Ms. Christopher insisted, not where he said it, which was on Fox TV.

"You don't mock the therapeutic culture at NPR where they treat the audience as though it is in need of help and reassurance. How else explain the soft, modulated voices of the on-the-air talent and the implicit message of all those fund-raising campaigns, which comes down to, "We are the voice of sanity in an otherwise disturbed and disturbing world."
Looks like someone let the loons take the mic.

Williams should be suing this clown and NPR for defamation of character. They should also be demanding that she be fired!
