The NPR / Juan Williams video: Vivian Schiller – we warned Juan and maybe he should consult his psychiatrist

October 22, 2010 | Jim Vicevich | |

This woman has pretty much behaved yesterday like the biased boob she accuses Juan of being. And, by the way, looks mighty white over there at NPR, lady.

NPR’s Vivian Schiller explains why she fired Juan. Other than being paper thin, there’s good reason to believe that since Juan had been on Fox for ten years with nary a word from NPR, they waived their right to enforce the “no punditry” clause. But to get the full affect you really have to listen to the hubris? Cashews? Her attitude alone made my skin crawl. Elitist. The best part comes at the end. “Between Juan and his …. psychiatrist.” Amazing.

Late last night Rove and O’Reilly pose the question as to whether George Soros bought NPR’s allegiance with his $1.8 million dollar “donation”.  The timing is interesting. Juan “pundits” for 10 years and then last week, Soros donates a bundle, then Juan gets fired. Some pretty chilling stuff I think. Tell me again what’s in the first amendment?

Cutting public funding from NPR sounds good but would do little to stop this left wing propaganda machine. It will continue until the lefties decide to pull the plug.

    I am not sure why anyone would be surprised over this.  Ron Juan Williams gets fired from NPR and Ron Williams CEO of Aetna steps down and I hear nothing….

     

    This is a DIVERSION from the left to keep everyone off track as to what the real issues are…

     

    THE ECONOMY, JOBS, TAXES

     

    My own humble opinion   NEXT!

    Let me guess: he will next be accused of being "extreme", which seems to be all that the Democrats can say nowadays, since their failed policies are not defensible.

    Tom, Spot On!  It was wrong what happened to Juan on a number of levls, but it's 'us vs. them'–IT'S A TRAP AND A DISTRACTION!  However indicative of the usual double-standard, double-speak–(I'm with Horowitz on the 'Why are liberals called liberal', it's truly Orwellian)–Not exactly what I expected for the October Surprise.

    Certainly an unexpected turn of events, but it must not deter, it needs to inspire individuals to become engaged, and at the very least turnout to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!

    Let freedom ring!
