Unlike many Leftists, Juan at least tries to offer reasoned arguments, and doesn't walk off and sulk when he's given disagreement. He can sit on a panel where he's outnumbered by conservatives and hold his position.
This reflects badly upon NPR. Even their leftist listeners might be disturbed over the treatment of a long-time analyst over speaking his mind.
I was watching Follow The Money the other night on Fox Business (first time I’ve seen it) and it was Juan and Colmes on the “left” and D’amato and Monica Crowley on the “right”.
I believe Juan agreed more w/ “the right” than w/ Colmes. He had his lib views, but I remember thinking why is he on the “left”?
