Fired NPR analyst Juan Williams responds to video: "They are anti-intellectual"
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/08/11 | Jeff Poor

The fallout from the video conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe released Tuesday morning has been devastating for NPR. However, Juan Williams, a former NPR analyst who was fired unjustly even according to NPR President Vivian Schiller, finally had his turn to sound off about the video, which apparently showed an NPR senior executive, Ron Schiller, making some disparaging remarks about the Tea Party, the Jewish people and Williams himself.

Obama has funded the community radio act.

I think it’s 1500 stations in the lower fm band, and he is going to fast track liberal applications.

The fix is already in. NPR wont go away and he has already funded 1500 new propaganda outlets

I hope Juan realizes how much he has been supported by Fox News, and how badly he’s been treated by the liberals over at NPR. What you might call “his people”...

His book not withstanding, Juan is a doofus.

Juan is now OUTSIDE the NPR tent, pissing IN, instead of the other way round.

And that is a good thing.

NPR is the OLD acorn

See my posts.

We may apply for licenses, but they have this fast tracked to approve the broadcasters that suit their purposes.

If Juan hadn't been fired by NPR, he'd be defending these turkeys. Never trust a leftist.

BTW, I'm just as sick of seeing Juan's face as I am of seeing Rove's. He's all over the Fox business channel, too. The network really has him slaving away day and night on both channels for his milllion dollar salary. Does he ever have time to spend it?

Schiller would be talking of racism to the ultimate racists. And these PBR types are soooo superior to everybody else. This is so rich!

De-fund the FCC. It's unconstitutional, and licensing just serves to protect the "Pravda" networks that are no longer competitive, such as ABCNBCCBS and so forth. Let industry associations sort out the frequency territories.

How good were the Founders? They musta had a crystal ball. (Actually, they just understood human nature.) More than 200 years later, there's nothing not authorized by the Constitution that's remotely necessary for the Feds to do.

While I believe that the rift these folks are opening with folks like Williams is significant, We cannot afford to lose sight of what these pricks are up to.

They see this local community radio bill as a fair exchange.
NPR is on our radar. Schiller himself says they dont need the federal funding to carry on.

Meanwhile, they will open 1500 Local stations to fill the campus heads full of mush and the rural areas.

WITH GOV FUNDING

Williams appears to be truly hurt. Can’t even imagine how deep that goes. He’s defended these people for years.

The bill passed in late Dec.

What we have to do is recognize the threat and get conservatives to apply for licensing.

They will shoot it down like DOMA, but we have at least see what they are up to and tie them up in court.

Shouldn’t this say, if I am taking the meaning right, “TOO liberal for mainstream”?

BTW, did you know that Voice of America has been defunded as beamed to Asia?

China is THE Broadcaster now and Obama had VOA shut down

One month ago
