Juan Williams was fired by NPR (and picked up by FOX?) after making some statements about being nervous flying on planes with Muslims. I think that’s the back story.

I don’t think the individual shows such as Diane Rehm care much about NPR corporate when booking guests. The shows operate pretty independent of the network.
