NPR's Code Of Ethics

[walldude]

Enough with the freeper handwringing already. Here is NPR's Code Of Ethics, which Juan Williams violated the minute he began to work for Fox Propaganda. Read the sections on "Conflict of Interest and Outside Work, Freelancing.

"10. In appearing on TV or other media including electronic Web-based forums, NPR journalists should not express views they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist. They should not participate in shows electronic forums, or blogs that encourage punditry and speculation rather than fact-based analysis."

Considering the FACT that Fox Propaganda is not a "news channel" but a propaganda arm for the Republican party Juan Williams was lucky they didn't fire his dumb ass the minute he started working for them.

1. What I heard NPR say...

A reporter reports the news and not their own opinion on NPR. Juan was giving his own opinion much like he does on Fox. NPR said this incident wasn't the only time. I'm sure Fox would love to turn NPR into their own opinion show.

We have enough of this shit from Fox and I wish Congress good luck in whatever they plan to try.

2. Fox used his NPR employment in a desperate attempt to shore up

their own "fair & balanced" creds, so to hear the whining from them at this point is just staggeringly hypocritical!

5. He'll be happier on Fox. He can talk all he wants about how

{{{scarrrry}}} women wearing scarfs are.

Fox is the repository for all of the garbage of this world, the convicted, indicted, suspected, chickenhawks, rejected liars that cannot make it on real News networks.

Dick Morris
John Fund
Glenn Beck
O'Reilly
Hannity


And so many more. It will get to the point that just appearing on that network will destroy your credibility so badly all that will be left will the far right fringe wackos and their lunatic audience. It is a dumpster for those who live in an alternative universe. They have their little crazy corner of the media and they should stay there.

Hiring people like Juan Cole hoping that his NPR creds would rub off on them? Seems it worked the other way around.
