That is what you feel, pdq, but there are jobs where the expression of one's personal opinions or feelings are inappropriate. A job as a journalist with NPR appears, from what I have read thus far, appears to be one of those jobs.


It doesn't mean Mr. Williams is not entitled to his emotional reactions. It doesn't mean he is not a good journalist, or that he does not have a point of view or opinion worthy of being both aired and considered.    However, if the NPR code of ethics is as explicit as the NYT article indicates, it does suggest that he and NPR were not a good fit.
