NPR CEO says Juan Williams needs psychiatric care
By Brian Kirwin | Friday, October 22nd, 2010 | PolicyNPR CEO Vivian Schiller launched a mean-spirited attack on Juan Williams the day after firing the commentator for commenting.
Bearing Drift reported the firing here.
Now Williams’ former boss said something 100 times worse from a podium. She said Juan wasn’t fired for expressing his opinion, because “the feelings that he expressed on Fox News are really between him and his psychiatrist”
Watch the video!
Statements like hers make me wish I was a lawyer! The shrill shiller Vivian Schiller standing in public explaining that to say what Juan Williams said on Fox News, he’d have to have mental problems?
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said enough is enough!
Gingrich called for a Congressional investigation of NPR and consider pulling their taxpayer funding.
That’s the least they should do.
Schiller needs to resign NOW and maybe, just maybe, NPR might be allowed to exist beyond tomorrow. If she thinks what Williams said is worth being fired over, she should see her comments the same way.
Unless she’s a liberal hypocrite (I know, none of those around, right?)

Gee, a liberal hypocrite… and white to boot. And then the Sherrod firing by a white Obama bureaucrat in July. What do white liberal hypocrites have against black people other than as Obama said that they are “hard-wired not to always think clearly when we’re scared.”
I often disagree with Juan Williams on politics but what NPR did to him was plain wrong.Where is the NAACP,Al Sharpton,Jesse Jackson,and the ACLU ?
Juan Williams is such a mealy-mouth, most Americans probably hit the mute button every time he appeared on a program, or clicked over to the Weather Channel.
National Proletariat Radio and their other Jew-run partner corporation, PBS, has been nothing but a propaganda factory from its very first day of operation.
Recall that Newt and the boys tried to cut the GROWTH of the PBS budget a long time ago and paid a hefty political price. The Democrats responded with ads targeted at American moms, that said that Newt wanted to kill “Big Bird.”
Well, I say, go ahead and roast Big Bird for Thanksgiving, for all I care, and toss in Juan Williams for giblets. PBS and NPR do not warrant taxpayer funding.
Defund them now. Who will care? If there is a marketplace for NPR type programming let the private sector fund it through advertising or charitable contributions rather than our tax dollars. Enough is enough. Kill off this ridiculous liberal commentator jobs program.
@Will, excellent question.
@The Answer, I think there is a market for NPR. They only receive 10% of their funding from the govt. But I think they want that money from the govt to give the disguise of unbiased news.
[...] Among those agreeing to defund NPR is Mitch McConnell. Major conservative bloggers are skeptical that the Republicans actually have the backbone to go through with it should they control Congress after the mid-terms. I’m not as concerned about this. If we follow the regular logic, elected Republicans are far more sensitive to what they perceive public sentiment (both liberal and conservative) to be than their Democratic colleagues. While we complain that they are weak-willed, it may actually work to our advantage if the wave this cycle is at least moderately large. They will have to start making some token overtures to acknowledge the tea party and grass roots conservative concerns. This seems like the simplest opportunity to do that, coupled with less resistance from ‘everyman’ liberals given the way Williams got the shaft. We won’t get a better opportunity in the next decade unless NPR unloads another few press conferences from their smarmy, self-inflated putz of a CEO. [...]
