NPR advocates censorship with this act

This from the Canadian loser who's so obsessed with American politics that he desperately posts one libtarded brain fart after another on ET. :p

Quote from CaptainObvious:

According to the NPR standards, written to "to protect the credibility of NPR's programming by ensuring high standards of honesty, integrity, impartiality and staff conduct," there are three relevant guidelines that, in this situation, seem to apply to Juan Williams:

1. Don't appear on programs that promote punditry.

2. Don't appear on programs that are harmful to NPR's reputation.

3. Don't say things on non-NPR programs that the journalist would not say on NPR.

One might ask, just what are these programs that promote punditry? Just what "reputation" are they trying to protect? Is it their supposed journalistic integrity, or their obvious liberal bias?
Do these standards apply to all their people? Obviously not!
Don't say things they wouldn't say on NPR? So they admit practicing group think, censorship, and political correctness.

I think you can pinpoint, even without the help of my red crayon, our areas of disagreement. However I think we have both expressed our views sufficiently in this matter. But I would be interested to know what your views are on FOX's journalistic integrity. Really.

When did you drop out of high school to join your dad's militia? After all, someone had to properly manage the inventory and distribution of canned beans to prevent any tell-tale vapor trails that might alert the authorities.
 
I'd be interested to know why, as a Canadian, you care.

Compared to what? What I think journalistic integrity should be? They're sub par. Compared to MSNBC? FOX is stellar.
I watch an equal amout of both. I can barely stomach O'Reily and Hannity, but both have numerous leftists on their programs to debate. Beck has some decent points, but his theatrics bore me. Their evening news is better than most, though it does have an obvious conservative slant.
MSNBC is abysmal for the most part, especially during the day. Morning Joe is probably the most balanced of their programing, but lacks journalistic discipline. Matthews has become nothing but a shill for the Obama administration. Sad, because he used to be fairly straight, left leaning, but straight. Maddow and Olberman are so out of touch it's laughable, and rarely debate anyone from the right. They cannot be taken seriously. Big Eddie is a little nutty, but I stand with him on most of his views wanting to protect the working man, and he'll have a person from the right to debate on occassion. Rattigan hates the economic terrorist's who have destroyed our economy and I'm with him 100% on that.
Bottom line, you have to wade through hours of bullshit to get the 20 minutes of actual news.

Fair enough. I only glance at FOX from time to time for chuckles. FOX has very weak liberal representation, such as it is, and it almost always gets either drowned out or shouted down because it is substantially outnumbered by the overarching Right. For example, Alan Colmes was never much more than a token liberal whipping boy. It was downright painful to watch all that "fair and balance." I never watch MSNBC, so I cannot comment. I do, however, watch a fair amount of CNN. What is your take on CNN?

I haven't watched 5 minutes of CNN during the last 10 years. I hear they are left leaning, but that could be propaganda from the vast right wing conspiracy.:D

Yes, it is. To the over-the-top Right, the mere notion of reasonable balance screams Left. Glad I could help.
