Juan Williams lands on his feet at Fox. Ya’ know the channel more Americans watch anyway



Where is the equivalent of a Juan Williams on Countdown with Keith Olberman? Don’t knock yourself out, theirs is none!



Juan Williams was fired unfairly by NPR for having an opinion they didn’t like.



Liberals don’t believe in freedom of opinion. They’re more concerned with thought control-accepted modes of thinking according to what they consider acceptable.



That’s not freedom; it’s slavery of the mind!



I disagree with Juan Williams 95% of the time. But, I always respected his integrity.



The Los Angeles Times reports tha cable news network signs the analyst to a new three-year contract for nearly $2 million. Meanwhile, conservative figures blast the public radio network for its response to Williams' comments about Muslims.



As NPR weathered a storm of criticism Thursday for its decision to fire news
analyst Juan Williams for his comments about Muslims, Fox News moved aggressively to turn the controversy to its advantage by signing Williams to an expanded role at the cable news network.Fox News Chief Executive Roger Ailes handed Williams a new three-year contract Thursday morning, in a deal that amounts to nearly $2 million, a considerable bump up from his previous salary, the Tribune Washington Bureau has learned.



The Fox News contributor will now appear exclusively and more frequently on the cable news network and have a regular column on FoxNews.com."Juan has been a staunch defender of liberal viewpoints since his tenure began at Fox News in 1997," Ailes said in a statement, adding a jab at NPR: “He’s an honest man whose freedom of speech is protected by Fox News on a daily basis.”

They didn’t have the decency to fire him fact to face. That’s really gutless.
