i think it's good that npr fired williams for being a bonehead.

williams today is saying that he thinks npr wanted to fire him for a while because he appeared regularly on the infotainment shows like o-reilly and hannity.
i think it's the case that being involved with fox news undermines one's credibility.
espousing views like those espoused on fox news undermines one's credibility.

so i agree with npr. you cannot possibly be taken as neutral or even competent if you espouse the views that williams did. because they're stupid.

it's a shame that we are saddled with a conservative movement in the states that is able to survive only by undermining the standards of rational discourse.
not all views are the same simply because they're views.

of course, the response will be the same as it always is. conservative politics are not about the world, it's not about being coherent or making things better...it's about conservatives being victimized.
