In media news, National Public Radio has severed ties with longtime analyst Juan Williams after Williams said he is nervous flying aboard airplanes with Muslim passengers. Williams made the comments on Fox News’s The O’Reilly Factor.
Juan Williams: “Political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you don’t address reality. I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
