( CNN ) -- It 's a cottage industry lately . One week we led with CNN President Jon Klein being relieved of his duties . Another week it was Rick Sanchez getting the boot for his remarks about Jews . On Sunday , we 'll look at NPR 's decision to ax Juan Williams over remarks about Muslims that he made on Fox News . This is not shaping up as a left-right slugfest . While Fox has practically declared war on National Public Radio , many liberals from Salon editor Joan Walsh to CNN contributor Donna Brazile to Whoopi Goldberg of `` The View '' criticized the radio network for axing Williams . It did n't help that NPR chief executive Vivian Schiller suggested he was seeing a psychiatrist . She later apologized . I 've known Juan since he was at The Washington Post , and his unpredictable views have a tendency to tick people off . He 's an African-American who got roasted by the liberal black community for backing Clarence Thomas against Anita Hill 's allegations . The decision to dump Williams , in my view , has as much to do with his Fox News connection as his admission that he gets nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb on his plane . I find those remarks unsettling , but do they constitute a firing offense ? We 'll tackle that question with the Chicago Tribune 's Clarence Page , CBS 's Chip Reid and commentator S.E . Cupp . We 'll also discuss the latest tensions between Republican candidates and the press . I 'll also have a wide-ranging conversation about politics and culture with New York Times columnist Frank Rich . Plus , how did Jon Stewart land President Obama as a guest , and is his upcoming Washington rally an appeal to moderation or sheer entertainment ? Time magazine critic James Poniewozik will join that discussion . That 's the lineup -- at least , if no one gets fired between now and Sunday morning .
