That's completely fair. It's also short-sighted.
I believe that news reporters need credibility with their audience, and that staying stupid shit diminishes that credibility to an extent that is likely irrecoverable. As a result, I think news people are held to their own standard, and not the standard of "all people," which really hurts your argument here. I wouldn't fire the guy from a CEO position or as garbage man - I think, though, that as "news reporter" he's gone. Same as if he'd claimed that Illuminati killed Kennedy.
The term "politically correct" has become the j-school/political equivalent of "synergy" - everyone would just be better off not using it.

Thank you so much. If I hear some one say that telling people how you feel doesn't make you a bigot one more time, I think I will scream! I guess someone saying, "I hate black people." isn't bigoted? It's ridiculous. Of course stating how you feel can be bigoted. Juan Williams made a bigoted statement. He lost credibility for his job on NPR, but he obviously did not for his job on Fox News.
