NPR CEO Fired after Firing Juan Williams
« on: Fri, 07 January 2011, 06:29:53 »
It's amazing that one little debacle could cause this to happen, but there was a lot of negative light shining on NPR after that.  The big problem I see with all this happening, is that it might re-stir the frenzy on cutting funding to public broadcasting after it had died down some.  At least the external review showed that there was no foul play involved in the firing.

BTW, it wasn't the CEO that was fired, it was the "top news executive."  The CEO still has her job (with a vote of confidence from the board); she just lost her bonus.

That's amazing when Ripster and I are the only two on topic.  So how about that shooting in Tuscon?

Personally, I try to stay away from political topics on non-politic specific boards...

I don't need to worry about that; this is Texas.  If it's not beans, brisket, mashed potatoes, or chicken-fried steak, they don't eat it.  Spotted **** is there for the lulz.
