I agree with Palin and Fox news!!!!!by Lee Watkinson | Published: Oct 22, '10 |
First off I want to congratulate Dan and Erik on being voted into the Hall of Fame. Very well deserved on both accounts. They have been two of the most consistent performers on the tournament circuit since before I played poker.
NPR recently fired an analyst for saying he has felt nervous being on a plane with muslims before, which is not quite as controversial as what I said in a recent blog about being in favor of profiling to make airline screening more effective. Are they really firing him for just being honest? I mean, how many of you can swear that you wouldn’t be just a little nervous if there were four young men sitting together speaking Arabic on a plane flying from NYC to LA?
I think what they are really doing is dishonest. They have probably been looking for an excuse to fire him because they didn’t like that he also worked at Fox news, and used this lame excuse which was foolish, as it let Fox be on the correct side of an issue, for once.
Both this and CNN’s firing of Rick Sanchez are like a girl who wants to break up with you cause you have a crappy job, but instead starts a fight because she saw the way you looked at another girl. CNN should have just said Sanchez was a goofball and NPR should have said that they didn’t want anybody working for them to also work for Fox. I love NPR and hate that they have tarnished their credibility this way.
