You can say anything you want, as long as you agree with us (NPR).

I have seldom agreed with Mr. Williams but have always liked the guy and admired his honesty. When he appears on O'Rielly, an opinion show he gives his opinion and when called on as a news analyst, that's what he does, analyzes the news stories. The man IS a journalistas much or more so than than others who wear the label.

He is not a hack or a parrot for left-wing agenda. He engages in fair debate and keeps personality out of the picture. If any cannot see that, I'm sorry for you. What NPR did in the person of Vivian Schiller was completely dispicable and cowardly. I think the renewal of his FN contract was a message to NPR as much as it was to continue his services with FOX.

The First Amendment does not exist to allow people to agree with you. It is there for speech with which you may not agree or even speech that you may find offensive. Dialog, not monolog, is necessary to a free society. Hey, you don't have to agree with that. It's OK, it's your right.
