"Williams and Schorr stared [sic] the same title, Senior News Analyst. Juan Williams was no Daniel Schorr."

Stay on point, Jack, we're not debating whether Williams or Schorr was the better at his job. I'll even grant that DS was more astute, but that has no bearing on whether or not Williams should have lost his job for his outside comments.

Yes, Yes, Yes, and those at MSNBC are commentator/analysts as well as interviewers. You may not care for one side, nor I the other, but at least let's have a modicum of honesty about it.

If NPR wants to circumscribe the duties and activities, within and without NPR broadcasts, of their employees and contractors, so be it. It makes, to my mind, pretty sterile radio.
