(snip)-- The same radio network that suspended its news director this week for sexual harassment allegations once hired a controversial Washington Post writer whose history of sexual harassment allegations was well known.
Juan Williams, 63, joined National Public Radio in 2000 despite being at the center of a widely reported sexual harassment scandal at The Washington Post a decade earlier.
Williams now works for Fox News as an analyst.
Post newsroom employees said that Williams had, for years, commented on their bodies, asked them about their sex lives, and said things that were "lewd" and "shocking." Nancy McKeon, then the features editor of the Post Magazine, told Newsweek she remembers Williams asking women, Did your heels hit the ceiling last night? and saying, Now theres a chair Id like to sniff when one employee stood up from her seat.
The comments were known and were even covered by the Washington Post at the time. But NPR hired Williams anyway.
This is ancient, Williams said when Newsweek reached out to him. When asked if the allegations were true, he declined to answer.
(snip) --- Williams was not fired by The Post when the allegations were revealed in 1991. Fifty female employees met with then-Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. to object to the newspapers lack of transparency surrounding what disciplinary measures it had taken. Yet Williams was eventually hired by NPR.
*** 'He was like a serial shocker' ***
McKeon, who worked with Williams in the late 1980s, warned him several times during her tenure to stop talking to these young girls like that" and that he'd "have a problem" if he continued. After one art director stood up from her chair, McKeon said she remembers Williams saying, Now theres a chair Id like to sniff.

Sounds like they want to “get Juan Williams” and they’ve got some ammo. Of course, the accusers are just as bad or worse; It’s just how liberals are.
What did Juan do in high school ?????
Bill OReilly must be smiling.
If you were aware of it why did you put 11/2/18 as the date of the article? IDIOT
The Facts of Life Survivors (as social media is now calling them) won't stop until they have Clooney!

LOL. How about the obnoxious Chris Hahn who Tucker Carlson always has on. He's insufferable. That guy makes the most bizarre faces.
Never shaves
I guess that depends if he ever asked Shep if HIS heels hit the ceiling last night...

LOL
Wrong one. The McKeon in the article worked for the WaPo.
The first one.
This was published Nov. 2, 2018. Three weeks from now?
“Maybe they can fire Juan and hire some other token black.”
You mean like Harris Faulkner? She isn’t a token, she has skills.
This is an 11/2/17 story. 11/2/18 is still several weeks away.

“”I would LOVE if he was Fired from FOX!! The FIVE is Unwatchable when he is on!!””
Bring back Beckel. At least when he was on, the show was entertaining.
wrong ..... see 69
Yes and Beckel can talk about Leland, Ford, McLean and Holton Arms.
We turn off Fox the second Williams opens his mouth. I know we are not alone and I wonder if Fox gets that kind of viewership data in real time (as opposed to relying on old fashioned Nielsen ratings).

Sniffed a few girls' schoolroom chairs ....maybe. (reference from the article)
Now there's a coincidence..!
Maybe they can fire Juan and hire some other token black.
You mean like Harris Faulkner? She isnt a token, she has skills.
—
A. They wouldn’t need to hire Harris Faulkner, since she already works for them.
B. By saying “some other token black,” I’m asserting that Williams is a token black (in case that wasn’t obvious), not talking about anyone else who works on the channel.
C. I agree - Harris Faulkner is very good.
