Dead Pundit Walking: How Long Until NPR Fires Mara Liasson for a Manufactured, Faux-Controversial 'Gaffe'?

National Public Radio and Media Matters just received $1.8 million and $1 million donations, respectively, from George "Goldfinger" Soros, presumably to advance the cause of despotism in America. Coincidentally (*chortle*), NPR immediately fired Juan Williams for voicing an opinion about airport travel in the era of 9/11. Curiously, President Obama has yet to complain about all of the foreign money flowing into the coffers of the leftist front groups known as NPR and Media Matters.

The Daily Caller reports that NPR personality and frequent Fox contributor Mara Liasson is the next personality to have a laser-dot on her forehead.

“NPR’s Mara Liasson and her long-running association with Fox News has often raised questions. This might be the proper time for NPR to finally address that thorny issue,” wrote Media Matters columnist Eric Boehlert Thursday in a post entitled “What about Mara Liasson?” “[I]f you look at NPR’s code of ethics, there’s simply no way Liasson should be making appearances on Fox.”

Boehlert cited an official NPR document that says employees may not make media appearances that are “harmful to the reputation of NPR or the NPR participant” or “where the employee’s appearance may appear to endorse the agenda of a group or organization.”

Boehlert said that since Fox News pushes a “political agenda,” Liasson’s association violates the organization’s code of ethics.

In 2009, it was reported that NPR pressured Liasson to cut her ties with Fox News, a network she has contributed to since 1997. Liasson did not immediately return a request for comment.

Yes, Boehlfart insists that Fox has a political agenda, unlike the ultra-centrist NPR and 'non-profit' Media Matters.

These people are would-be tyrants who would do anything to silence the critics of an all-powerful central government. They don't give a damn about free speech unless it's their side's.

The only people sticking up for Juan Williams -- despite the ideological differences with many of his beliefs -- are conservatives. Remember this in ten days' time.
