NPR terminated the contract of Juan Williams on Wednesday after comments the veteran journalist and news analyst made about Muslims on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor."
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly stirred up controversy last week on "The View" after making the blanket statement that "Muslims killed us on 9/11," a comment that led to co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walking off the set.

Juan Williams has always been a man of integrity. I don't agree with him most of the time, since he is liberal, but I have great respect for him. NPR should not receive any funds from taxpaying Americans. This is a blatant censorship issue!!
Don't go against the machine or they will cannibalize their own.
Mmmm , he should have been awarded the Nobel Prize , rather than fired. Heck , obama got the prize and didn't do a thing.
The 7 Big Media Corporations are trying to force all of us to become automatically politically correct in our language and thoughts. It is a not so subtle attempt at mind control.
This isn't the America I used to know!!
Juan Williams didnt say anything that everyone already thinks .... Muslims do make people nervous especially on airplanes ... given the recent history of muslims .... you dont hear of catholics or baptists trying to blow up or take down planes now do ya.....
Kudos to Juan Williams and to his future on Fox News
I can't stand Fox News, but to fire Williams over this remark is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. They let Beck get away with so much garbage that is much more offensive. What a bunch of hypocrites! Makes me think they had another reason for wanting to fire him and just used this as an excuse - and one to rile the base to boost ratings. Disgusting, NPR.
9:42 AM
You sound confused.
haha 9:42 way to not know the difference between Fox and NPR
10:23 i believe tha 9:42 does know the difference ....just that he or she may have worded something wrong ... or that you are just a Lefty liberal type that wants to try and discredit someone because they might have used some words in the wrong context. Get a life NPR did wrong and now should pay the piper and lose funding.. Williams did nothing wrong and anything he did say was on Fox not NPR apparently NPR does not believe in free speech unless it benefits them
Cory, your head is thick. Please go back and read those comments. And try to understand, try to understand, try, try, try to understand. You're not a magic man, momma.
Holder stated Americans were cowards for not having and open and honest discussion about race and he was skewered by the right. Now the right is saying how terrible it is that we can't have this same open and honest discussion and that NPR is now the (insert insult here). I guess Holder just made for a good target to score points.
I pretty much quit listening to NPR (and watching NBC) after 2008. Their inane, blatnat pandering to Barack Obama made mw nauseous.
