Actually I think NPR was wrong - reasons are:
1. This was an edited link, which cut short, before you got to see him pulling this and other statements together to put across his main point that Americans need to be aware of other cultures, but not afraid of them, more importantly to look outside of their usual information sources for perspective.
2. Juan Williams was employed as an analyst - this involves personal and group perspective, but an analyst ultimately highlights their "hot button" subjects - all the while expressing their opinion.
As with all news sources - variety is best, but we all tend to fall into a habit - I have been trying to break myself of this by watching Fox, not becuase I'm moving my views, but I need to re-visit their reporting having seen a lot of SH 1 T fron them before - my opinion is still pending.
