FOX News: "I don't understand the inconsistency here," Dr. Charles Krauthammer said on PBS's "Inside Washington" Friday night. Another guest on the panel was NPR's Nina Totenberg, whom Krauthammer targeted for her consistent liberal bias.
"Why is it okay for Nina to express opinions as she has tartly, sharply, unashamedly and openly? And she's an honored correspondent there; in fact, they mention your status here on ["Inside Washington"] in your biography at NPR. And Juan, because he expresses his opinions, he gets canned from NPR," Dr. Krauthammer said.
Totenberg said she's been put in an "awkward position" with the uproar and offered her explanation of why Williams was singled out for dismissal. "In the modern journalistic world, where people are asked to give opinions all the time whether you're a regular on a show like this or not, if you cover a story you may be asked to appear on a television show and talk about it. I think it's a very very difficult line to draw. And NPR tries to draw it, in my view, using rules that don't exist anymore."
"I have personal opinions that I will not share with you," NPR's Nina Totenberg said, who has not been afraid to share her opinions before. Juan's firing was not "popular on the floor" at NPR.

If they are all female, maybe they were all PMS ing at the same time. This person gives females a bad name...Juan is a decent guy even if I don’t agree with him...bunch of female bigots are running a corp...on the public dime...yuk...
Glad you enjoyed...
Don't hold back, Karliner - tell us how you really feel. :)
OK - there's no one we can vote out to get rid of PC - the only way to do it is the way we're doing it now. We point out the truth - we refuse to be intimidated - and we stand with men of integrity - of either party if necessary ( like we're doing with Juan Williams). Other than constantly drawing lines in the sand, constantly sticking our necks out, and forever standing for what's 'right' over what's 'popular' (PC), we'll hold our own...
And how Kelly said “I’m the interviewer, I ask the questions”. I love that Kelly!
“Sen. Jim DeMint, the conservative and increasingly powerful Republican senator from South Carolina, introduced a bill Friday to strip federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in the wake of National Public Radio’s decision to fire Juan Williams for comments about Muslims that he made on Fox News earlier this week.”

Last Christmas my brother and sister in law put on a cartoon where there were no parents (Ruby & Max I think), but an older sister and younger fending for themselves.
I made a big stink about it while watching. I kept saying “where are the parents”?
I told my bff about this incident (my family laughed at me) and she told her mom friends about it and it caused a big uproar. I don’t think any of them noticed there were no PARENTS!
My bff then told me about an episode where the sister was trying to get enough quarters to take the bus to go do their laundry.
I’m not sure if they still watch the show. I’ll have to ask her. I just texted her to ask.....
Bill did bring it up, regarding the walkout of whoopie & behard. Williams did not call him a racist.
LOL! Now that you mention it...
Thanks for the ping and the direct link, SIL. Have a good week.
I watch Max & Ruby quite often with my granddaughter.....we really like the little show.
Max & Ruby are siblings.....and the vignettes encourage the viewers to treat their siblings with patience and caring....that's all.
No hidden message....
...it's a very sweet storyline and their grandmother is very special to them.
A lot, if not all, of these preschool animated series have moms & dads.....Little Bill, Charlie & Lola (one of our favorites).....
There are a lot of things to get upset over on tv.....but surely this isn't one of them!
HAHAHA! I agree.
Megan Kelly ripped that Ibrahim fool a new one!
Man, she was on fire.
Totenberg is a vile creature.
The Kraut is O.K. except when it comes to brilliant women like Sarah Palin. Charles can’t stand to see a woman who is smarter than he.
Roger that; just so infuriating somehow we’re labled haters, bigots, islamophobes, oh and racists...gads, whata strange bckward world it’s all become, the prince of darkness is working overtime shifts.
Liberals ARE the narrow minded bigots - they fear ideas different than their own ...
