EDITOR’S NOTE: We’re no fans of Juan Williams, to say the least. But this situation illustrates perfectly the ever increasing toxic blend of political correctness, Cultural Marxism, and manufactured consent that continues to poison America’s consciousness. But as we all know, it doesn’t have to be that way.
NPR has fired longtime news analyst Juan Williams, also a commentator on the Fox News Channel, after he told Bill O’Reilly that he gets nervous on an airplane when he sees people in Muslim dress.
In a statement late Wednesday, National Public Radio said it was terminating Williams’ contract as a senior news analyst over his comments on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”
NPR executives had previously complained about his remarks on Fox and asked him to stop using the NPR name when he appeared on O’Reilly’s show.

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller said that controversial opinions should not come from NPR reporters or news analysts and that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and “his psychiatrist or his publicist.”
