Fox News moved swiftly to turn the controversy over Juan Williams’s firing to its advantage, offering him an expanded role and a new three-year contract Thursday morning in a deal that amounts to nearly $2 million, Matea Gold reports.
Roger Ailes took a jab at NPR in the process.
"Juan has been a staunch defender of liberal viewpoints since his tenure began at Fox News in 1997,” he said in a statement. “He’s an honest man whose freedom of speech is protected by Fox News on a daily basis.”
In his new role, Williams will appear more frequently on the network and have a regular column on FoxNews.com.

Thank you, FOXNews. Thank you.
I said on an earlier post that this would HELP his career. Said Roger Ailes would probably call him and give him his own show. For once I actually made an accurate prediction.
That is fantastic
WOW! Fantastic!
That is fantastic
That’s great! Fox News is the only news network that even tries to be truly “fair and balanced.”
This whole thing is absolutely hilarious. Networks competing for screaming heads and knocking the competition in the process. Unfettered capitalism at its best has nothing on this side show.
Makes you proud to be a part of the “Fox Family.” While liberals scream about being the “tolerant” ones, conservatives quietly do the right thing.
Too bad. This will make Juan the “token” _____ man according to the left.
Capitalism at its finest! Bwahaha to NPR!
Good for Juan. Wonder what he was making at National Pantywaist Radio.

Fox News is obviously racist. /s
How much is the “vig” back to the NPR CEO?
NPR just screwed themselves. What this really was about was an attack on Fox News. Juan was NPRs most famous face.
What probably sealed the deal was Juan not doing one of those weaselly apologies or clarifying what he meant. He said it and he’s standing by it.
Ailes: “Up yours, NPR!”
NPR = Nazi Progressive Radio

Excellent! although I disagree with him 99 percent of the time he seems to be a genuine guy who really believes what he says and we should embrace those with viewpoints that don’t necessarily jell with ours, it keeps us honest and prevents us from falling to far to the extreme.
