NPR executives have also said they have been concerned that Fox News has used Williams, an avowedly liberal analyst, to paint NPR itself as a liberal news organization rather than a nonpartisan one.
Knee-jerk intolerant irrational anxiety about Fox News.

It doesn't work the way they think, you know. When we look back, FNC's greatest triumph will be how massively it terrified its non-watchers -- thus convincing its watchers that it's not just A force but THE force to be reckoned with.

What has NPR done? Promoted the shit out of Fox. And made Juan Williams the pre-eminent liberal name known by the right... just as he will not work for NPR anymore.

O'Reilly's ratings are up 15% this week.
