I am not against defunding NPR, but why didn't Juan notice this all of those years he was drawing a paycheck from them?

I believe that they receive less than 10% of their funding from the government anyway; IIRC around 3%.

I remember his meltdown on Fox against Brit Hume when through frothing lips he called the Minutemen on the border rascists. He disappearred from Fox for a few months and and came back a more moderate version. Paycheck and all that......

Being liberal does not a stupid person make. It also doesn't make Juan a poor choice for talking heads on Fox. |

The NPR reporter assigned to this story had a segment today about how the video is heavily edited and had three experts watch who all said "it sounds really bad when you hear the edited version but if you sit and listen to the whole thing you get more of a 'dummy shouldn't've said that" v. 'WHAT A JACKASS" (which I suspect is true) The funny part is how come super balanced and fair NPR didn't wait til that investigation was done before firing anyone? Kind of ironic.
Anyway Juan williams is as PC as anyone else at NPR but he has stood up to the black civil rights leadership and criticized them for fostering a victim mentality. I guess for a guy who is so super liberal and PC I guess I was impressed that he had the stones to stand up to Jesse Jackson and crew. I have heard that he gets called an Uncle Tom all the time.

This. He and Fareed Zakaria are one of VERY few liberals I am willing to listen to or read their opinions on various topics. |

As far as liberals go, he is an ok one. I at least trust him to say what he believes.
