I prepared a statement below. I hope NPR would make a similar one. I guess it's just a dream. But then again, it's always nice to dream.
As we all know, Juan Williams was recently released from NPR after making a marginalizing statement regarding Muslims on the Fox News Network (the organization that fought and won in court for their right to lie to their audience).
Well, of course we are hearing that ill-moral characters are already putting NPR on the firing squad. They are going to try and pull another A.C.O.R.N.
NPR should go ahead and put a muzzle on this talk right now.
So here's my made-up statement for NPR
It has come to light to many about the release of Juan Williams by NPR. There have been many accusations and opinions on this matter. However, it should be understood that Juan Williams was not released simply because of his statement about his fear of a distinguishable group. It should be realized that there is more to the story than this. The issue of the statement is only the tip of the iceberg to move us in our decision.
It should be understood that NPR strives to keep its journalism and on air personalities on par with the highest integrity. When we review Williams' associations we find this attribute in question. Juan Williams is a persistent guest on an on air organization whose credibility is in default.
Juan Williams' frequent association as a guest and major contributor to Fox News Corporation raises a lot of questions to Juan Williams' character and integrity. Fox News Corporation is an organization whose subsidiary fought in the court of law for their right to lie and deceive their audience.
We often as people question other peoples actions when they do something that assumes as suspect. In the Fox News Corporation, there is no question to this as their action is spelled out in their appeal to Florida's Second District Court of Appeals in New World Communications of Tampa Inc. Vs. Jane Akre, where New World Communications, a Fox News subsidiary won an appeal against a whistle blower whose court opinion ruled that there is no "law, rule, or regulation" against distorting the truth and lying to an audience.
for NPR as an organization that strives to protect its listeners from unethical and frivolous journalism, Juan Williams character, as he continued to associate himself with an organization that goes so far as to protect its right to lie to its audience, always stayed in question.
As an on air personality whose main audience is within the fine United States of America, a nation whose morals are rooted in equality and equal protections, we found it as the last straw to go on air and rifle a sub-group and equate acceptance in marginalizing a fraction of our society.
We found the integrity of Juan Williams always in question as he frequently associated himself with an organization that strives to protect its right to lie. As an organization that strives to protect its right to lie, we must realize that Fox News Corporation must also comb its applicants to assure they have no problem with the distortion of the truth. If Fox News Corporation realizes an employee might have a problem with the distortion of the truth in broadcasting, then Fox News Corporation would be troubled if they proceeded in the hiring of that individual as the corporation's lack of integrity could be subject to public knowledge. Although Fox News Corporation has a right to lie to its audience, nothing could stop an individual from filing a lawsuit or pressing charges in a public court where the distortions of Fox News Corporation would be part of permanent public record.
With that being said, we have recently been reminded that we made the correct decision in releasing Juan Williams when he passed the 'Deception Acceptance Test' as he was recently hired by Fox News Corporation after his release from NPR.
It's up to N.P.R. to stay on offense on this case, and in doing so they are staying on offense for America. We can not let an news organization that funds Republicans in an election to stand as the standard of journalism in this country. Instead, we need more journalism like NPR
It's obvious that Republicans don't like a news organization that reports the truth. These days, truth seems to have liberal slant.
And I'll accept any replacements for "Deception Acceptance Test".
