He'd Rather Switch Than Fight

So NPR fired Juan Williams for telling the truth about the way people feel about Muslims and the threat of terrorism. They said he "violated" their ethical standards, but somehow Nina Totenberg who wished on the air for Jesse Helms or "one of his grandkids" to get AIDS still works there. That is pretty typical for the liberal double standards. But that's not what is so funny.

First, Williams just picked up a major pay raise. Fox is reportedly going to pay him a cool two million a year to work for them. Nice work if you can get it.

But even funnier is this little gem (hat tip Don Suber): to prove their commitment to diversity and tolerance, and their opposition to bigotry, NPR just fired their only black journalist. Double standards anyone?
