Could it be that the people at Fox News were more concerned with their own elevator relationships than with their viewers' opinions when they immediately decided to enhance Juan Williams' contract mere hours after his firing by NPR? I say yes. What they failed to calculate was how dramatically different their viewers feel about Williams compared to how Williams' Fox cohorts feel.
I submit that Fox viewers don't really care that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly -- who know Williams personally -- think he's a fine, stand-up guy. Whoop-dee-doo. For all we know, he may be. It is likely that we will never share the coffee machine or the elevator with him as they do to find out.

FYI....
“Maybe after the “corporate wife” comment and all of the other inane Juan comments, others will agree. “
Juan is just another “skin color uber alles” Black man who is a salesman for Obama.
How long is his contract for? Too long, in my opinion. Time for Juan to go.
Time for Juan to move from FUX to MSNBC.
I no longer listen to Juan....he’s another skip point
Every serious intellectual endeavor needs a comic relief........
While I applauded Fox for giving Juan a chance after his dismissal from NPR - I too, have a problem with his whiny, insulting comments. It really seems like he is being adversarial just to be adversarial, as most of his positions are so absurd - it’s truly hard to believe he is actually serious. When he fills in for BOR the channel on my big screen gets switched to a mindless sitcom, re-run or movie.. or I simply turn off TV and open a book. Thanks for re-posting the article. Well done.
Call me a sick twisted freak, but since Glenn Beck’s departure from the network, I watch far less of Fox News than I used to. Usually F&F in the morning for an hour or so before work, and sometimes The 5, Special Report & O’Reilly.
Juan Williams, one of a number of reasons I do not ever turn Fox news on anymore.
I simply do not need to know what this idiot thinks about any subject whatsoever.
His opinion does not enhance my life in any way.
He’s a democrat propagandist. He is not a nice guy, he is a democrat. Democrats are not our friends, they are enemies of the Constitution and the Republic.
Poor old Juan and his kindred spirit brethern have never figured out that if it weren’t for the republican party he would probably still be picking cotton for some democrat plantation owner. If it weren’t for republicans those school doors would still be blocked to “his people”. If it weren’t for republicans the civil rights act would have never been passed by the democrat party alone.
Juan is a useful idiot for our National Socialist Democrat Party.
FWIW, I agreed with you about Juan Williams from the get go.
Fox has more than a sufficiency of token liberals to balance their conservatives. The liberal news media have a few token conservatives, but they would NEVER go as far as Fox in trying to be “fair and balanced.” And they rein them in a lot tighter.
I HOPE Fox bounces him out the door fast.
I’m beginning to believe he wasn’t fired from NPR. They knew Fox would give him a contract and that he would be able to spew his liberal nonsense on a supposedly conservative cable channel.
I do not like this man, or Beckel. Williams may be a stand-up guy when not discussing politics (heaven forbid), but politically he is a liberal butt kissing hack liar.
I don’t mind the likes of Bekel and Williams getting face time on Fox. Not that I relish seeing and hearing them, but they’re poster boys for what’s wrong with liberalism. One is brash, over-the-top, vindictive at times, the other an intellectual lightweight who’s role is to spout talking points, then being taken to the woodshed.
I turn the volume off when Bekel speaks, but sit through Williams because I know he’ll be shown as the clueless twit he is. And, yes, he’s there solely because of his friendships among the Fox staff. There can be no other reason for it.
A while back it seemed to me that Juan tried to make it appear as if he was being fair and balanced (not that he was).
But that didn’t last long.
Now he no longer makes any effort to camouflage his uncritical support of Obama and other blacks in the administration.
I figure FOX is determined to have some leftists to offset conservatives and have decided that Juan is the person they want in the leading role.
He is obnoxious on all racial issues and is an overt Obama butt kisser. More and more often it is impossible to listen to him.
Juan turns me off, so I turn him off. Fox should dump him..
Ann Romney represents a CULTURE that is far more successful than any other on this planet, especially the culture from which Juan comes from. He knows it, that’s why he’s threatened. He takes the typical liberal approach of attempting to destroy success instead of imitating it.
I want the inanities of liberals to be heard widely. Juan’s stupid opinions are Juan’s.
I'm with you. I haven't watched it since Beck left.
Most of the others are pretty predictable. I pretty much know what they're going to say before they say it.
