Political Correctness Earns Juan Williams $2 Million

Last night Juan Williams was fired from National Politically-Correct Radio (NPR) for telling the truth, and today as conservatives come to the liberal pundit's defense, he's been given a new contract from Fox News:

As National Public Radio weathered a storm of criticism Thursday for its decision to fire news analyst Juan Williams for his comments about Muslims, Fox News moved aggressively to turn the controversy to its advantage by signing Williams to an expanded role at the cable news network.

Fox News Chief Executive Roger Ailes handed Williams a new three-year contract Thursday morning, in a deal that amounts to nearly $2 million, a considerable bump up from his previous salary, the Tribune Washington Bureau has learned. The Fox News contributor will now appear exclusively and more frequently on the cable news network and have a regular column on FoxNews.com.

Today there are calls from many Republicans to defund NPR completely and let them fend for themselves. All of this, again, in defense of a liberal.

And they say we're intolerant.
