Fox hands [Juan] Williams $2 million contract
Politico.com ^ | 10-21-10

Posted on 10/21/2010 2:50:20 PM PDT by Justaham

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.

Juan should sue NPR and if he prevails, donate all of the dough to scholarly poor black students who want to go to St. Albans and Sidwell Friends.

LOL!!

he is liberal and I rarely, maybe never agree with him but he is never ugly like Bob Beckel.

and pay attention
in the past when he sat in for BOR he was pretty centrist.I was always surprised at how evenhnded he was when he subbed for BOR

He got screwed by NPR and most leftists know it.

Juan’s salary just went up and NPR’s credibility just went down.

Today I heard Rush say they should send Sheppy boy over to NPR.

That sounds like a fair trade to me. :=)

So who cares? Serves him right. He’s one of the first guys to attack someone else when the stray away from PC mainstream approved thought. He did so himself and got kicked in the ass for it by the libs...great.

” CPB, not just NPR needs to go. NPR is sustained by local public stations, which get money from the CPB. So NPR’s claim that only a small portion of their funding comes from the government is disingenuous.This LINK is to the OPB Budget Request to Congress.

They are asking for $630 million dollars in 2012. “

CPB = Corporation for Public Broadcasting is tantamount to

” Big Brother & the Holding Company “

Defund CPB!!

You nailed it, Jack!

I’m glad Roger Ailes stepped up and gave it to NPR. But did you hear Juan last night on Hannity about affordable rent in N.Y. city? His position on controlling private investor’s who own buildings was nothing short of socialism. Even Hannity said flat out “Juan you are advocating socialism” and Williams said “N.Y. is a socialist city.” Juan supports socialism where he feels it’s appropriate.

Keith Olberfurhrer and Rachel Maddyke will have a lot to say about this tonight I am sure.

If a tree falls in the woods...

That's what I was thinking. In all likelihood, all three of their viewers will be furious.

Secret numbers published only for overseas callers to these NPR call-in shows (be prepared to explain which overseas location you are calling from, and that you listen via internet or sattellite, and that your phone number has an American area code because it is a VOIP - e.g. vonage or skype or magicjack - number which lots of overseas people use to reduce phone bills):

Diane Rehm Show 202-537-7872, Weekdays 10-11am ET

I’m only happy with this if the increased time with Juan DECREASES the Bob Beckel/Alan Colmes time proportionately
