ace, your pet theory about "liberal fear" is like the sweet nothings you might say to yourself as you choke the bishop.
"o you are so big and so mighty, you are so manly and strong. all others tremble before you...."

it takes that kind of imagination to conflate contempt for faux news and everything it stands for with fear.
a hyperbolic imagination.

i think fox news is a travesty. it was a significant professional blunder for williams to appear on fox programs because on the one hand it legitimates a conservative travesty and on the other it undermines the professional image of npr as a news gathering organization.
williams did not appear on news programs, but rather on sideshows like hannity and o-reilly. frequently.
it just happened that this time he said a boneheaded thing and got himself fired.

there's no "fear" in that and the action is far from "irrational".

williams will likely fit right in with the other idiots at fox.
