Humorist and Daily Howler editor Bob Somerby joins Marc and co-host Anthony McCarthy for a look at the firing of Juan Williams by NPR.  Should he have been let go for his controversial comments about Muslims on Fox News?  What is the role of a commentator, as opposed to a new analyst?  And does his firing reflect a wide-spread problem of racism at NPR?
