Email Response From NPR Exec

Ir Rush had lied this outrageously, it would be in every newspaper... tomorrow.

If Rush had lied this outrageously, they'd be breaking into Monday Night Football to announce it.

I agree with you in theory about the people having freedom and the right to voice opinion, I am just saying that there is no right to tell lies, whether it is slander or other vicious lies that attempt to discredit anyone or any organization or distance one from statements, if those statements were truly made.

Free speech has always had limits.

Started laughing when I read your comment - then felt a rush of pain as I realized you might be right...

I'm at the point where I don't want my tax dollars supporting the speech rights of one party - and not the other. It's an outrage for many reasons...

It's time to de-fund NPR.

Unfortunately, this has occurred several times in other media. Our decision to end our contractual relationship with Juan has come after repeated conversations and warnings about some of his public comments. This was a difficult, but principled decision.

Bull. It's all about one thing and one thing only:

FOX NEWS

They HATE it. They HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE "FAUX" NEWS!

I have never seen so MUCH displaced anger against one television network as I have seen from Leftists regarding Fox News. It is pathological. That's right; insane.

I'm trying to figure out why. Fox has so many liberals on it: Geraldo Riveria, Greta Van Sustern, Shep Smith, Bob Betchel, Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, Kristen Powers... The number of liberals is as long as the number of conservatives!!!!

Is their outrage based on Fox calling itself "Fair and Balanced", as it illustrates how ALL THE OTHERS are NOT?

(Rhetorical question that has "Yes!" as the obvious answer.)

But seriously folks, they HATE Fox News and they HATE Fox News Viewers. They want the dumb hicks watching Fox to die. Since they don't have the power to do that, they took it out on Juan.

True...any backing from Government ends up making that speech propaganda.
