re: #149 Killgore Trout

I guess it depends on how you look at it. How many lefties objected to Juan Williams’ firing as a free speech issue?

Juan Williams was a political commentator. I’m fine with NPR having restrictions in place for its political commentators. That makes perfect sense. You want at least some objectivity there.

But extending it to the cultural programs is just dumb. It’s like political correctness inverted, political sterility.
