Jeri, read my post again. I was not speaking of reporters. From them I want just the facts ma'am, to coin a phrase, and all the pertinent facts. From analysts and commentators--which to me are interchangeable terms--I want to know as much as possible about them so I can make an informed judgement about their pontifications.<<<<

I think it is wonderful that you have your own ideas about analysts and commentators, but NPR has another idea. They hold analysts to the same standards as reporters and make them sign a contract acknowledging that. Then they give them a code of ethics outlining what is acceptable to them. Then apparently they warn them a few times before they let them go.

I think Williams has been treated more than fairly then shown his true colors and proved his Foxworthiness by crying about race after being let go.
