Let me get this out of the way first. For those of you who think NPR is left leaning, you probably have never listened to NPR. It is the most centrist news organization out there.
Now here are my thoughts. Should have he gotten fired? Probably not. This is where I understand why he was fired. His role at NPR was as jouranlist - unbiased and opinion free. When you appear on Fox and make biased statements, your creditbility as an unbiased journalist is compromised. NPR takes great pride in provided unbiased news and political coverage and the behavior is not accepted.
As for unfunding NPR, it gets less than 6% from the government, on ANY level (local, state, and federal). Most of that funding goes to the local affiliates and not the national NPR unbrella. So stop with this defunding babbling.
