I really don't care whether NPR gets funding from the government or Mexican drug cartels. The fact that they fired Juan, a decidedly liberal kinda guy, for what he said on a non NPR program, is repugnant. Juan said what a great many Americans feel. Probably a great many non Americans as well.
The pussification of America continues and as a long, long, long time listener to NPR, I am disgusted to the point of listening no more. When they apologize and offer Juan his job back, maybe I'll give them another shot. But until then, I am done with NPR and I would encourage everyone else who listens to NPR to do the same thing.
