Leave it to the Canadian fox fan to jump in here to defend Fox’s fear mongering. It is irrational to fear all Muslims, Juan never pointed that out. He didn’t state that his particular fear of flying with Muslims [meaning all] was irrational, he’s a journalist and he knows better.

Instead he changed the theme to how crazy it would be to fear all Christians, and he never downplayed his irrational fear of getting on planes with Muslims.

Actually he did. He certainly did downplay his reaction, and he was very specific about who he was worried and nervous (NOT frightened) about, and it was NOT all muslims.

When I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb, and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.

And the part you don’t want to talk about:

that there are good Muslims. I think that’s a point, you know? You know, we don’t want, in America, people to have their rights violated, to be attacked on the street because they hear rhetoric from Bill O’Reilly, and they act crazy.

No matter how many times you misquote him, no matter how many times you quote him out of context, it does not make what you say true.

It would be nice if NPR could just admit the truth. They took this opportunity to fire the guy simply because he had a relationship with FOX NEWS. His only crime was to be the Balance for FOX NEWS.

It is fine to accuse FOX NEWS of not being fair and balanced, but when you attack anyone who does defend the left on the network, you certainly make it more difficult for them to have balance

It is in fact NPR’s obvious intolerance for Conservatives (they have not even one conservative voice on their network) that makes them appease CAIR, Soros, and other bigots.
