Blatent illegal partisanship from a publicly funded DemoGenerate propaganda network.

All Govt. funding should be immediately stripped from PBS.

It just acts as a Pusher of the Poisoned Pablum of Pravda Peonism.

NPR only believes in freedom of speech for the Iranian President, not the U.S. President.

Name-calling is a logical fallacy.

Mist it is a matter of BTS (Bush Tourette's Syndrome).

NPR, afraid that Juan Williams would be outsmarted by President Bumpkin, wanted to substitute someone smarter (whiter?), and the President said no, and Mr. Williams conducts the interview on another network. And somehow, the headline is "NPR Rebuffs White House"? Am I missing something?

Sounds to me like "White House Rebuffs NPR, Makes It Eat Excrement Sandwich" should be the headline.

I’m glad to hear about his book. Bill Cosby is a good role model at this point is his life and should be given more visibility. Juan just drives me crazy sometimes on Brit’s show with his liberal whining.

One of these days, I fully expect Juan to fall to his knees and cry, "Forgive me, Reagan, for I have sinned!" :-)

Seriously. He's a lib, but occasionally exhibits signs of advanced intelligence.:-D

>>”It makes no sense to me. President Bush has never given an interview in which he focused on race. . . . I was stunned by the decision to turn their backs on him and to turn their backs on me.”<<

Why is it stunning that the Stalinists who run Nationalized Public Radio behave like Stalinists?

NPR only gets $300,000,000 a year in our tax money. Wait until Hillary gets elected...

Joel Block and Deborah Bird have done a piece on NPR about “Earth & Sky” for about 16 years, Block has been on NPR almost 30 years. A small nature news bit and the most enjoyable thing about NPR other than the classical music.

“NPR only gets $300,000,000 a year in our tax money. Wait until Hillary gets elected...”

So we pay NPR 300 mil a year to operate and they don’t want to interview the President, who we put in office?

Pull funding.

Williams said yesterday he was "stunned" by NPR's decision. "It makes no sense to me. President Bush has never given an interview in which he focused on race. . . . I was stunned by the decision to turn their backs on him and to turn their backs on me."

Well, DUH, Juan! NPR is, and always has been, about supporting Democrats and Democrat Presidents. They would never consciously do ANYTHING that would redound to the credit of a Republican President.

How interesting!

I was listening to NPR while driving through Vermont one night, years ago. They had some tech geek program that was talking about types of screws. According to them, you could get a slotted screw, a Phillips head screw, and the ultimate in ulra tech super advanced scientific secrets: the Robertson screw. The Robertson screw is the one with the square hole in it. I actually knew what they were because I had some old furniture that had them.

And they expounded on the these three types of screw drivers, and how these were the only fasteners in the year 2000. I waited for them to mention that something they owned had an Allen screw in it, or that they had bought an automobile in the past ten years and it was full of Torx screws.

Nope.

The sum total of human fastener technology, according to NPR, was a design that was largely abandoned in 1980, not the ones used for decades in your furniture and your car.

Ignorance is not an avocation at NPR, it is a profession.

Me? Not stunned.

Okay, the idea that Juan Williams would sit there and serve up softball questions to Dubya is just delusional. The folks at NPR need to put...the crackpipe...down.

No problem. Just cut off NPR’s taxpayer money. Sink or swim, you snotty left-wing yuppies.

Juan has been learning some hard lessons about his liberal masters. He took a load of sh*t for his last book critcizing the poverty pimps.
