I got a response from NPR

Original Message to NPR:

NPR recently ran a segment on how to speak “tea bagger”. All Juan Williams did is say both exactly how he feels and how many, many other Americans feel on this subject. The man’s body of work makes clear he is no bigot. But we sure can’t offend muslims can we? This is disgusting. But then the official state run media cannot have anyone expressing anything that might reflect what actual Americans think regarding Islamofascists because there is officially no such thing according to the Obama Administration.

Response to Message #104454:

Dear Tommy,
Thank you for your thoughts about NPR’s termination of Juan Williams. NPR Ombudsman Alicia Shepard wrote this column in response to listener concerns: NPR's Firing of Juan Williams Was Poorly Handled.  Please add to the discussion by posting your comments at the end of the blog.

Many of you have written or called saying you will no longer support public radio.  Public radio is more than NPR. If you like Car Talk, Fresh Air, Marketplace, On Point, On the Media, This American Life, the BBC or Prairie Home Companion, then please support your local station. NPR is not responsible for any of those programs and your station needs help to pay for them.

Thanks for taking the time to write, your thoughts have been passed on to the proper folks in charge. Please sign up for the Ombudsman weekly newsletter. Visit www.npr.org/ombudsman and enter your email address in the bucket on the right-hand side.
Sincerely,
Office of the Ombudsman
