ombudsperson Alicia Shepard has now spoken about the corporation's firing of Juan Williams. Here she is dealing with her chief concern about how this all looks:
I fear some will look for racial motivations in NPR's decision to fire Williams, who is African-American and one of the few black male NPR voices. It's not about race.
Self-parody at its best.
