Description

“You can’t state that. You’re fired.” Prize-earning California correspondent Juan Williams was unceremoniously ignored by NPR for speaking his head and stating what many Americans feel—that he gets anxious when boarding planes with guests dressed up in Muslim garb. NPR banned the experienced correspondent within an act of political correctness that eventually sparked nationwide outrage and resulted in requires Congress to finish its public financing of the press organization. In Muzzled, Williams uses his very public shooting like a launching pad to go over the numerous ways truthful discussion in America—from the halls of Congress and the care city halls to the talk-shows and printing media—is stifled. In today’s partisan earth, where media provocateurs tip the airwaves and political correctness dictates so what can and can't be stated with impunity, Williams demonstrates the way the honest exchange of ideas and the look for sensible bargain and options is intentionally muzzled.
