The Daily Beast has an interesting take on the story - Howard Kurtz (the author, who also works for CNN and The Washington Post) says that if Williams had made the comments on a non-Fox show, he likely would not have been fired.

He didn't say anything wrong. But saying it on a network that is progressively upping it's anti-Muslim rhetoric was naturally going to ruffle feathers over at left-leaning NPR.
