On some level I agree - not a fan of Peretz. On the other hand, wouldn't firing Peretz just make Hughes a leftie Rupert Murdoch?

Equating left leaning liberal publications with fanatical right wing conservative hate press is hardly a legitimate comparison.

Lets get some NPR positioning here - reporting doesn't require equal commenting when the truth is stacked for one side.

It would make him a magazine owner. One can tell a lot about a publisher by who they keep and who they let go when they take over a publication.
