Cowardly Liberal Journalists
The Juan Williams firing has been thoroughly dissected and debated from every conceivable angle – except for one.
Maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen anyone describe how all of Juan Williams' courageous liberal colleagues at NPR rose as one and resigned in mass protest at his unconscionable treatment. Oh, that's right – no one has described it because it never happened. In fact, not one of Juan's fellow NPR journalists, friends and colleagues who worked with him for a decade, has uttered so much as a peep in his defense.
To me, their silence is deafening. Acquiescence in evil equals tacit approval of evil.
The so-called professional journalists at NPR – every man and woman of them – ought to be hanging their heads in shame. They have proven beyond any doubt that they are exactly what we on the right have always suspected: hot air balloons – gasbags devoid of any real substance who go wherever the prevailing leftist doctrinal winds carry them, then collapse in a heap once they run out of (OPM) fuel.
If nothing else, Juan Williams has learned who his real friends are.
