NPR Fires Juan Williams For Telling the Truth | RedState
His comments were inconsistent with their editorial standards? Good Lord! WHAT standards?
NPR Fires Juan Williams For Telling the Truth | RedState:
National Public Radio has fired Juan Williams, its long time correspondent, over remarks Williams made on the O’Reilly Factor.
Specifically, in a conversation about Islamic terrorism, Williams said on the O’Reilly Factor that he sometimes had fear on airplanes seeing muslim passengers in Islamic garb.
NPR said Juan Williams’ comments “undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR” and “his remarks on the O’Reilly Factor … were inconsistent with our editorial standards.”
For reference, NPR recently ran a segment on how to speak “tea bagger”."
