Here's what she wrote in her column over the weekend [emphasis added]:
Eric Boehlert of the left-wing Media Matters used Williams' firing to call on NPR to sever its association with Liasson as well. Wrote Boehlert, “I'm not suggesting Liasson has said anything as offensive as Williams, or that she has that kind of track record while appearing on Fox. I'm just saying that if you look at NPR's code of ethics, there's simply no way Liasson should be making appearances on Fox.”
What an insidious pursuit. MediaMatters lives to pillory Fox News for being too conservative - at the same time it tries to drive moderate commentators off Fox programming.
Here's what I wrote on Friday (as a follow-up to my Thursday item about Liasson):
I never suggested NPR fire Liasson and I don't think they should. NPR could, for instance, prohibit its employees from appearing on Fox.
I'm waiting Debra.
