n.p.r. people. i think it's simply this. in the culture of n.p.r., appearing on fox is a sin. and in the culture of n.p.r. for an african-american man like juan regardless of his extraordinary stature to be there and be a bill cosby liberal, not a down-the-line liberal is a sin as well. they've been gunning for him for years. this remark about muslim, people in muslim garb at airports was merely a pretext and they've been wanting to get him and they got him. so doing, exposed themselves for what they are. >> chris: nina, some congressional conservatives are talking now about cutting government funding for n.p.r. they don't get a lot of money. 1-2% of their budget. but also from public television, which would be a much more serious deal. is that the right response? how likely do you think it will happen? >> the response that has been going back to the 1990s. the mid-'90s there was a serious effort to defund n.p.r. a lot of their member stations get taxpayer funding, too. it's not just the 2% that goes to n.p.r.. it's in a time of budget crunch, looking for cuts. it's a real thre

in 2012? finally, rush to judgment. did n.p.r.'s firing of ron williams signal to the world that would rather show the gate than take the heat? hi, i'm chris matthews. welcome to the show, dan rather, bbc's kathy kay, cynthia tucker and "the atlantic" andrew sullivan. first up, two years after proving himself one of the great politicians of our time, barack obama is trying to save the day for the democrats. question is, should he have been a better salesman and sooner? it was nine months ago the democrats lost the stunner in massachusetts when republican scott brown won his senate street running against health care and bailouts. the next day george stephanopoulos had an interview with the president and opened his report, predicting that surprise defeat for democrats would have a big effect on barack obama. >> a political nightmare for obama that would change the course of his presidency. >> the same thing that swept scott brown into office swept me into office. people are angry and they're frustrated. not just because of what happe

n.p.r. and daily coast were being watched now i see a number of political dangers in the government's sketchy behavior here so earlier i got up from san francisco with jennifer lynch a staff attorney for the electronic frontier foundation so we could delve into some of those issues i first asked her if that whole narcissism line made her laugh as much as it did me in terms of proof that whoever wrote it had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. it really did say that should we i mean i don't know how many friends you have on facebook i actually don't have that many but i have a lot of friends who do have five hundred or more friends and i just. going to talk to them about their nurses. the the little ridiculous and the funny part to me is that later they contradict themselves because they say that within these networks people only talk to their friends and to their family and that's how we know that we can really trust what's online to me that's one of the biggest problems here i mean i understand the fact that you need to investigate of course especially when it comes to marriages

i don't think so i mean in terms of you know the president arthur sulzberger and all them they're they're not they're not into that they're not they're not fighting it like n.p.r. have beautified now they were. really already established in a traditional media now perhaps there's jealousy there perhaps there's bad a bad taste in their mouth from them being you know getting dumptruck the afghanistan stuff and not discovering it originally but but look at this i mean spiegel the guardian i mean these are these are amazing newspapers and they are calling the spade a spade torture hypocrisy people turning. iraqis over to death squads you know yet what are we focusing on the original afghanistan release and saying well julian the songes responsible for turning people over the taliban death squads when there's no proof of that i mean we like drama our little brains can get around drama in europe they're more into the detail and they're also they don't have a dog in this fight this is our war this is our history and americans do not like looking back on uncomfortably bad things well not only are they not focusing on the on the substance but they're the bigger questio

n.p.r. along with the a.c.l.u. wrote the court in support of the phelps' first amendment rights. >> they asked a whole series of questions struggling with the obvious. there's no line that can be drawn here without shutting down a lot of speech. >> reporter: at the court today, sean summers argued funerals are private events and a family should be free from such a demonstration when mourning the loss of a child killed in service to his country. >> the problem now is whenever al thinks about the funeral, he is also going to think about the phelps, and that is not a lasting memory anyone wants to have regardless. >> reporter: snyder initially was awarded close to $11 million by a jury, but later a federal appeals court threw out the case. snyder then went to the u.s. supreme court. >> you can avert your eyes and reject those words. mr. snyder needs to stop crying and man up. his conscience is bothering him because he didn't do right by his son. he is not going to get peace or satisfaction by trying to shred the first amendment. >> this

but did he succeed in bringing some democrats back with those messages? maybe. n.p.r. . 86 are democrats and then held by republicans. >> chris: 96 are democratic. >> the story of the poll is good news for democrats is that in the races some of the democratically held seats it's getting tighter. the bad news is the battleground is getting bigger. so they are having to defend more seats in some places they're getting tighter. you do see democrats coming home and don't see them coming home enough in the poll to change the big landscape. in terms of -- we haven't talked about the senate much but the lessons of history, you have a lot of incumbents under 50 though they're locked in the neck in neck races around the country. >> chris: not 50 age, but 50% of the poll. >> 50% of the poll. generally in wave elections, tight races tend to go to the person who is -- >> the senate, historically. >> and undecided go to the challenger. and those are the rules we grew up with watching politics. we don't know if this is the year that old rules don't apply yet. >> meanwhile, as we ment

in an era where the media is too politically correct. her and her. another journalist bit the dust today juan williams a long time news analyst for n.p.r. and commentator on fox news how does contract terminated with n.p.r. for the following comments on the o'reilly factor. this is where you don't address reality i mean look bill i'm not a bigot you know the kind of books i've written about the civil rights movement in this country but when i get on a plane i've got to tell you if i see people who are in muslim garb and i think you know they're identifying themselves first and foremost as muslims i get worried i get nervous. now n.p.r.'s vice president ellen weiss told williams that his statement was bigoted and crossed the line so williams now joins the ranks of helen thomas octavia nasser and rick sanchez what's his statement really bigoted or is this an attempt by media outlets to pretend that double standard and who you're allowed to criticize and who you aren't doesn't exist and joining me to discuss it is christopher chambers georgetown university professor and author of the blog not turner's revenge chris thanks so much for being
