In your face, Iran!: An Israeli took the world’s record for most simultaneous games of chess played—from an Iranian. Oh, the misery! And this is a Master of Juvenile Scorn™ in the making:
“Taking the record from an Iranian in a game that was invented by Iran – it’s going to be even sweeter,” he said as his record attempt was getting under way Thursday.
Look, NPR can report objectively: NPR is covering its own news about firing Juan Williams in a fairly fair manner. Unobjective, the way journalism is supposed to be. Like so:
Williams is now enjoying the full embrace of Fox News, which has given him a new three-year, $2 million contract and a guest slot, Friday night, as host of The O’Reilly Factor.
And
She said such restraint is a vital part of NPR’s code of ethics, which states that news staffers cannot say things in other public forums that they could not say on NPR’s airwaves as well.

Schiller had her own verbal miscue Thursday. In an address to the Atlanta Press Club, she said perhaps Williams would have been better served confiding his thoughts to his psychiatrist or his publicist — a flip line for which she later apologized.
And yet, the CEO of NPR was not fired for saying something in a public forum that she could not say on NPR’s airwaves. Double standard? You betcha!
Meryl,
So sorry … but … YAWN.
Did you really expect any better than this sort of double standards from the US Taxpayer Supported National Palestinian Radio?
Which is itself a wholely owned subsidiary of the terrorist supporting Palestinian Broadcast System?
Have you ever visited the NPR website? In the Middle East section there is a blurb from the Ombudsman which reads in part:
“NPR is committed to ensuring that the public can thoroughly review the network’s coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
What about all those ARAB countries that decleared total war on Israel in 1948? To the “un-biased” editors of NPR they don’t exist.
Which is EXACTLY the same sort of crap far leftish academics peddle.
Feh!
