When he made the offending remark he was on fox being a commentator. Is it part of the reporter's code of ethics that he may not express his feelings publicly? The drama isn't staged, it is NPR attempting to uphold a standard of PCness that is biting it in the ass. As for why you should care, you should care that across the board our media is nigh worthless and people can barely hold a civil conversation anymore. We need to be able to talk to each other even when we disagree. That Williams was on O'Reilley's show doesn't mean that he buys into O'R's ideas, but rather that he is willing to talk to him and see if they can find common ground, build trust, begin a real conversation. I have a lot of respect for this approach.
