I believe it's in my blogging contract that I have to weigh in on this, even though the subject's already been written about on every single site in existence.  So rather than state the obvious (no public funds for NPR, etc.), I'll focus on a different idea, one that is more obscure, yet (at least to me) much more interesting.

The biggest problem at NPR seems to be that Williams was also working for Fox.  Apparently, this was a major issue for NPR's listeners as well as its management.  One would think that leftists would appreciate someone trying to espouse and defend their ideas in a conservative arena, so as to convince others of the validity of their ideology.  One would be wrong.

Leftists are so far gone that, not only do they want to live in an echo chamber, they don't want anyone else to know what they are thinking.  This, to me, is the critical point.  They know that their ideology is indefensible, but they don't want to acknowledge it publicly.  The current elections show that, when exposed to the full light of day, their ideology is firmly rejected by most Americans.  Their only option is to retreat into a 'secret society', where not only do they hear solely what they want to hear, nobody else can be privy to their conversations.

Juan Williams was, in part, fired for breaking the leftist echo chamber and acknowledging the real world.  The main reason he was fired, however, was for exposing the bankrupt leftist ideology to others.  That was the truly unforgivable sin.
