Volunteers taking calls during WUNC Radios annual fall fund-raiser this week are hearing from listeners who have strong opinions about the firing of NPR news analyst Juan Williams.
Williams was let go Wednesday in the middle of most local stations fall fund-raisers after he appeared on Fox News The OReilly Factor and said he worries when he sees Muslims in traditional dress on airplanes. NPR executives said Williams violated public radios ethics guidelines and undermined his credibility as a journalist.
WUNC, the NPR station in the Triangle, had no part in the personnel move. But that didn't stop local callers from sharing their views.
