NPR and Editorial Standards

Via @IrishSpy comes this gem from NPR on the firing of Juan Williams:

NPR said in its statement that the remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”

Yep, we've suspected for quite a while that reality and truthfulness were inconsistent with NPR's editorial standards and practices.

[UPDATE]
Codrea: "Note to NPR CEO Vivian Schiller--please take up issues of profiling and prejudice with that infidel-killing group who identify themselves as the true representatives of their religion."
Power Line: Appeasing the Lefty base?
