NPR Sacks an analyst over his comments…, it not football. it’s politics.

at what point do we stop censoring op-ed style journalist.

I think his show rans it’s course just like Rick Sanchez

on HLN/CNN .The risk that seems to be the common thread

is the further away we think we are from media bias, the closer

we get to sponsor driven NEWS. NPR should be looking

out for it’s listeners,not for its corporate donors/sponsors.

Should we shut down all the news outlets/affiliates that re-ran

the “tape” of Juan, and his statement because  it’s not as offensive

second and third hand.  It’s safe to say that we’re all adults here,

and know the statement was not offered in Malice as much

as in example of how we as nation have been told to consider

the “race” of a person is who we should fear and not terrorist

extremist groups as a whole.

Should he have been fired No. Should He apologize?,If what

he said is truly what he feels no. If was a lapse in judgement

than a simple reiteration should’ve been fine.most listeners

of NPR are educated enough to know that a pundit is usually

offering their opinion and not of the station/affiliate

broadcasting their show or segment.
