The guy should not have the ability to express his personal feelings, many feelings that possibly numerous other people have, without being demonized and fired for those feelings after years of loyal service to an organization?
This is nothing more than another case of Political Correctness gone wild. NPR fails in a big way. I, along with countless others, have written them and publicly displayed my anger with this issue on their website. I challenge you to go to NPR.org and look at their report and after about 20 pages of comments find me positive and supportive comments about this issue. This is nothing short of character assassination of someone who had an affiliation with Fox News, they have been looking for a way to terminate him for a long time and that is evident. Nina Totenberg made comments about a religious figure, saying he should be careful because he might just get HIV and die and God will get him, or something to that effect and no one fired her. Can you say double standard? This just exposes the the hypocrisy and attempt of manipulation of the media message of the left and IMHO it is backfiring in a big way on this issue.
