NPR has told political reporter Mara Liasson that it would prefer that she not make her frequent appearances as the house lef--uh, centrist, to be honest with you--on "Special Report w/Brett Baier" on FNC and "Fox News Sunday" on the mainline Fox network--presumably under pressure from the Obama Administration, if you wish to presume (Liasson says she's locked into a long-term contract with Fox News):
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29892.html NPR listeners have long complained about Liasson and colleague Juan Williams' frequent pundit gigs on FNC (WIlliams has even become FNC's "house Negro," even filling in for Billo on the "Factor"). It seems like it takes a shift in the White House for the net to take these complaints seriously, which could lead credence to the Amy Goodmanites who see NPR as butt-kissers for whoever's in power in Washington (and NPR lost whatever anti-DC Establishment cred it had about the time ABC started sharing Cokie Roberts). -- TV or Not TV ....
