![thedailywhat: Dishonorable Discharge of the Day: Juan Williams’s tendency “to speak one way on NPR and another on Fox,” as NPR Ombudsman Alicia Shepard once put it, has finally caught up with him.
Williams was unceremoniously relieved of his duty as an NPR contributor following an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor during which he confessed to being “worried” and “nervous” about getting on a plane with Muslims.
“His remarks on The O’Reilly Factor this past Monday were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices,” NPR said in a statement, “and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”
Williams was asked to comment but said he was not ready to do so yet.
