No, Fox News did the right thing hiring Juan. Otherwise, it is just an echo chamber. You need to bounce ideas off of people with different backgrounds, you don’t hide from them.

An NPR radio station was what got me into classical music and I’ve been listening to it ever since. I wrote them a nice little letter today explaining my history with them, why I’ll never listen to them again, and why they won’t be seeing a dime from me.

Not that I ever donated in the first place, mind you. I was never THAT far gone.

“Even liberals are getting tired of it.”

Only the tiny portion of RATs that aren’t brainwashed.

I say de-fund NPR. Then they can hire or fire whomever they would like to.

D-e-f-u-n-d NPR. This should have been done years ago. We were calling for it during the Bush era.
Why should tax payers pay for a 24/7 pro-extreme leftist infomercial? Let them earn their own keep.

AMEN!! The travesty of NPR's firing Juan Williams is that they are engaging in "group think" to the extent that there's too much "group" and not enough "think"!

Juan Williams' voices his opinion on issues--it is what a news analyst does. I don't have to agree with him--and I often DO NOT--but I sure as hell will defend his right to state those opinions, because without such defense what rights will remain for me when I seek to express my opinions.

Of course, ALL my opinions are right since they are based on brilliant logic, scholarly erudition, superior intellect, and the high esteem in which they are held by my own ego!:)

The GOP controlled House should make sure NPR and PBS are defunded on Jan 2, 2011.
