On Fox & Friends, MRC's Bozell Blasts NPR As Part of 'Intolerant Left'
Appearing on FNC's Fox & Friends on Friday, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell reacted to the resignation of National Public Radio executive Ellen Weiss and credited the incoming Republican Congress: "NPR is hearing footsteps, their hearing the footsteps of Republicans, who are saying...what in the world are we doing spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on this network that is completely unnecessary."
As NewsBusters' Tim Graham earlier reported, an internal review of NPR's firing of news analyst and Fox News contributor Juan Williams led to Weiss being forced out.
In addition, Bozell predicted that despite the resignation of Weiss, NPR would soon returned to its biased coverage. He explained: "This is the face of the intolerant left today...these people are utterly intolerant of any position other than their radical agenda and they will kneecap you, including their own, Juan Williams, if you do anything such as appear on Fox News."

NPR is a primary practitioner of PC...

NPR, in their firing of Juan and contempt for Fox, as well as their public funds mentality, are prime examples of what PC (Political Correctness is all about).
For a great history of PC, check out (and share), this link from PajamasTV. I thought there wasn't much else for me to learn, but this historical perspective of where PC came from, and how it's employed, is very eye opening... you will see the correlation with NPR very clearly.
