Title: Juan Williams, NPR and the Death of Liberalism

So my fellow Fox News analyst Juan Williams just got fired for saying something supposedly controversial about Muslims. But make no mistake, Juan isn't the only casualty today. So is American liberalism.

On "The O'Reilly Factor" on Monday night, Williams said, "I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

And this is a fireable offense?

NPR issued a statement saying Williams' comments "were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."

Here's a bulletin, NPR: Lots and lots and lots of Americans feel the same way as Juan Williams. And that includes lots and lots of liberals. And probably a lot of liberals who work at NPR. Juan's "crime" wasn't that he said something bigoted. His crime is that he said something that liberals find politically incorrect. And that he said it out loud. And worst of all, that he said it on the Fox News Channel.

In liberal circles this is nothing less than a crime against humanity!

What makes this so crazy -- and so sad -- is that liberals are the open-minded ones, the ones who cherish the free exchange of ideas, the smart ones. And if you don't believe me, just ask any liberal, who will be glad to tell you how smart and open-minded he or she is. But these are the kind of people who believe in "free speech" only as long as they agree with you.

I feel bad for Juan, He's a good, decent man. His firing will make lots of other Americans think twice before they say something the boss may not like. And that's not a good thing in a democracy that thrives on vibrant, sometimes controversial ideas.

But I feel worse for American liberals. Because what we have here is one more piece of evidence that too many of them have forgotten how to be liberal.

Only about 20 percent of Americans identify themselves as liberals. Liberalism was once a great American movement. It led the fight for civil rights, the most important issue, as far as I'm concerned, of the 20th century.

It's a shame that liberalism is dying in this country. It's an outright crime that liberals are killing it.

I listen to NPR and they were hammered with emails.

On KPCC they said the emails NPR was getting were mostly negative about the firing of Williams.

Okay, so Juan along with millions of Americans feel uncomfortable in this situation. Why is it appropriate to fire someone for expressing their true feelings???

NPR is not a private company. It is a government agency. Williams should sue them for violating his first amendment rights.

We cannot stand for this politically correct bullshit any longer.

Funding

According to the 2005 financial statement, NPR makes just over half of its money from the fees and dues it charges member stations to receive programming. Public funding accounts for 16% of the average member station's revenue, with 10% of this coming in the form of grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a federally funded organization.[14][15][16] Some more of that money originates from local and state governments and government-funded universities subsidizing member stations' fees and dues to NPR.[17] Member stations that serve rural and "minority" communities receive significantly more funding from the CPB; in some cases up to 70%.[14] About 2% of NPR's non-membership created funding comes from bidding on government grants and programs, chiefly the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the remainder comes from member station dues, foundation grants, and corporate underwriting. Typically, NPR member stations raise funds through on-air pledge drives, corporate underwriting, and grants from state governments, universities, and the CPB itself.

Over the years, the portion of the total NPR budget that comes from government funding has decreased. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the majority of NPR funding came from the federal government. Steps were taken during the 1980s to completely wean NPR from government support, but the 1983 funding crisis forced the network to make immediate changes. More money to fund the NPR network was raised from listeners, charitable foundations and corporations, and less from the federal government.

[edit] Underwriting spots vs. commercials

In contrast with commercial radio, NPR does not carry traditional commercials, but has advertising in the form of brief statements from major donors, such as Allstate, Merck, and Archer Daniels Midland. These statements are called "underwriting spots", not commercials, and, unlike commercials, are governed by FCC restrictions; they cannot advocate a product or contain any "call to action". In 2005, corporate sponsorship made up 23% of the NPR budget.[18] NPR is not as dependent on revenue from underwriting spots as commercial stations are on revenue from advertising.[citation needed]

[edit] Joan Kroc Grant

On November 6, 2003, NPR was given over US$225 million from the estate of the late Joan B. Kroc, the widow of Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's Corporation. This was a record—the largest monetary gift ever to a cultural institution.[19][20] For context, the 2003 annual budget of NPR was US$101 million. In 2004 that number increased by over 50% to US$153 million due to the Kroc gift. US$34 million of the money was deposited in its endowment.[21] The endowment fund before the gift totaled $35 million.[19] NPR will use the interest from the bequest to expand its news staff and reduce some member stations' fees.[citation needed] The 2005 budget was about US$120 million.

[edit] George Soros grant

In October 2010, NPR accepted a $1.8 million grant from George Soros, given through his Open Society Foundation. The grant is meant to begin a project called Impact of Government that is intended to add at least 100 journalists at NPR member radio stations in all 50 states over the next three years[22]

Any funding meaning government control. The government has no business controlling the press. It's unconditional and legal.

I think its pretty clear there's been a bit of a lull the past ten days or so as to 'enthusiasm'. All this really did was display the clearly insane hypocrisy of the uber Left, and reignite the smoldering anger among voters, IMO.

They came for Juan Williams and I did nothing....seems appropriate analogy here for many.

That's true. But it was changed into the 1980's into a private organization.

NPR's revenue comes primarily from fees paid by our member stations, contributions from corporate sponsors, institutional foundation grants, gifts from major donors, and fees paid by users of The Public Radio Satellite System. We receive no direct federal funding for operations. The largest share of NPR's revenue comes from program fees and station dues paid by member stations that broadcast NPR programs.

If any company fired a black man for voicing his opinion, then publicly suggested he was 'insane' as NPR's head idiot did yesterday, the lawsuits would be flying, the NAACP and all the race based companies would be in full battle cry. The Congressional Black Caucus would be DEMANDING immediate investigations.

Boycotts would be called for. Marches would be held. Picketting would have begun 24 hours ago.

Personally, I'm very happy NPR did this, at this particular moment. Right before the election, and right before their next 'beg-a-thon'.

Which is still taxpayer's money.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created when there were 3 broadcast Television networks and mostly AM radio stations. Today we have hundreds of capable stations, FM radio, digital satellite radio, digital terrestrial radio, and millions of global internet radio, internet television, internet print media,internet bloggers, on and on.

It is absolutely outrageous that taxpayers are forced to support a propaganda organization which promotes big government leftism.

Hmmm... not sure how that statement proves much of anything, aside from exposing your own personal bias.

You might also want to take a look at this.

In particular.... "NPR receives no direct funding from the federal government.[18] The amount of funding NPR receives from groups like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which does receive federal funding, is less than two percent. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the majority of NPR funding came from the federal government."

Seems to me your knowledge about NPR's funding is about 30 years out of date.
