Sorry to hear you got fired by National Public Radio for saying on Fox that you get nervous when you see Muslims on a plane with you. It was dumb to say such a thing, but I don't think saying one dumb thing should be a firing offense. (I DO think an NPR journalist wanting to take money from Fox News to be a regular commentator should be a firing offense, but that's another story).
But there's more to this -- and some important things that everyone is missing.
Please read this thoughtful and clear analysis of the Juan Williams "racist" comments and subsequent firing by NPR. Why can't mainstream media do this kind of accurate reporting. Let me know if you agree.
