Left wing Juan Williams fired from left wing NPR

Liberal stalwart fired from the liberal NPR because of Muslim comment.

Juan Williams (pictured) has been fired by National Public Radio because of comments he made about Muslims to Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel.

NPR reported the dismissal of its longtime news analyst on its website. It said Williams appeared on Monday and told host Bill O'Reilly that he gets worried and nervous when he sees people dressed in Muslim-style clothes on airplanes.

NPR, which is partially government funded, said it had notified Williams that his contract was being severed. The statement says Williams' remarks "were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."

Williams has been a political contributor for Fox News since 1997. He has also written extensively on race and civil rights in the U.S.

Maybe free speech doesn't live at NPR.

NPR is politically liberal. Juan Williams is politically liberal. It's fascinating to watch liberals eat their own.

Fox News gives Juan Williams an expanded role by offering him a new three-year contract for nearly $2 million.
