"First, a critical distinction has been lost in this debate. NPR News
analysts have a distinctive role and set of responsibilities. This is a
very different role than that of a commentator or columnist. News
analysts may not take personal public positions on controversial issues;
doing so undermines their credibility as analysts, and that’s what’s
happened in this situation. As you all well know, we offer views of all
kinds on your air every day, but those views are expressed by those we
interview – not our reporters and analysts." ~ Vivian Schiller, Chief Executive Officer, National Public Radio
