Censorship supported by Yellowstone Public Radio and NPR

Freedom of speech no longer exists at KEMC, Yellowstone Public Radio. That's an extreme statement. Here's why its true.

Juan Williams has been an NPR contributor and employee for years. Mr. Williams also appears regularly on Fox News. Yesterday, NPR fired Williams for comments he made on Fox. Here's the text of what he said.

On his show "The O'Reilly Factor," host Bill O'Reilly said: "The cold truth is that in the world today, jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet."

Williams, who is also a political analyst for Fox News, said he concurred with O'Reilly, adding: "I think, look, political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you don't address reality."

The analyst said he felt nervous when boarding planes with Muslims on board.

"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," Williams said.

"But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

Williams opinions don't gibe with the feelings of the political elite. It cost him his job. Because he had an opinion--because he dared speak of his fears, he no longer has a regular job.

Yellowstone Public Radio gets most of its funding from taxpayer supported NPR. This week, YPR is in the middle of a fund drive, asking you to write $175,000 in checks to keep them operating.

As you get that fund raising request in your e-mail or mailbox, maybe now is a good time to think about what that money supports. NPR is a great example of political correctness gone amok. I don't mind people disagreeing with me or my point of view. That's great conversation. I'm a little less tolerant when I'm paying them involuntarily.

I'm volunteering right now with the money I can control. My checkbook is staying in my pocket.
