Juan Williams Loses Job At NPR For Telling The Truth

[The T]

As soon as Republicans take control of things, FIRST ORDER OF BUSSINESS..

Repeal Obamacommiecare
DEFUND NPR.

Uhm, if that is their first order of business, they're dumber than I thought.

It may be your priority but then who listens to you?

Many more than you think. Enjoy.

I really love NPR, I was on their message board for awhile but they really screwed up here. It was handled terribly wrong.

Did they have free speech diversity issues there too?

Ok, your sock puppets listen to you. As it should be.

I have to think many campaigns will want to latch on to the Juan Williams free speech issue before election time. NPR couldn't ahve picked a worse time with their fund drive and the election so close.

Indeed. The Ideology that claims to Celebrate Diversity punishes anyone who doesn't conform to their Thought Orthodoxy.

Speaking of an ideology that claims to foster and celebrate diversity, MSNBC needs to put up or shut up. Look at their line up! Where are the Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, etc.?

1. Scarborough, Mika, Willie "LILLY WHITE"
2. Chuck Todd "LILLY WHITE"
3. Andrea Mitchell "LILLY WHITE"
4. Dylan Ratigan "LILLY WHITE"
5. Chris Matthews "LiLLY WHITE"
6. Ed Schultz "LILLY WHITE"
7. Keith Olbermann "LILLY WHITE"
8. Rachael Maddow "LILLY WHITE"
9. Lawrence O'Donnell "LILLY WHITE"
10. David Shuster "LILLY WHITE"

Free Speech to the Left.

Means that you are "Free" to speak about anything the Left agrees with.

Anything else will be viciously attacked as racist, bigoted, intolerant, etc.

Both sides will attack those with whom they disagree. That's not the point, Sunni Man. The point is that a journalist got hammered for an honest and free expression, then not given the courtesy for a face to face meeting. Vivian Schiller needs to resign before the days is over.

But don't cry about the left hitting as hard as the right on issues.

Stop the fauxrage, Cmike: you are being silly.

Except the Left is dead wrong.

Only for as long as they approve, and only if you are on the list.

Wow! Discussing the employment status of an employee in a memo. WRONG!

He isn't now, or wasn't yesterday, an employee. He is a former independent contractor.

You never disclose employee information period. NPR has opened itself to a huge lawsuit by stating Williams was acting in an unethical manner.

He isn't now, or wasn't yesterday, an employee. He is a former independent contractor.

If that was the case, then they had no ability to direct him or his activities at all. An Independent Contractor, by definition, is not an employee, and cannot be supervised as an employee. He contracts to do a job to complete a specified product. Once the employer presumes to supervise, the Independent Contractor becomes an employee.

He contracts to do a job...and if he doesn't do it to their specifications they are within their rights to void the contract.

It's pretty basic.
