Juan Williams: Members of Media ‘Disappointed’ Trump Won, ‘Most of Them Are Liberals’
Breitbart.com ^ | 5 Dec 2016 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 12/06/2016 7:40:59 PM PST by Rockitz

On Monday’s broadcast of “The Five,” Fox News analyst Juan Williams stated that members of the media, most of whom are liberals are “disappointed” about Donald Trump’s presidency, but that it is the job of people in the press to hold the powerful accountable and not be their friends.

When asked if he thought journalists are angry about a Trump presidency, Williams said, [relevant remarks begin around 4:20] “I think they’re disappointed. If you want to know, I think most of them are liberals, if that’s your point.”

He continued, “But, what you’ve got here, going back to Friday when Trump came out, right, Trump goes after the press, despicable, these people are liars. They’re right back there. We’ve got them in a pen, and then the crowd hoots and hollers. He calls them out by name, and he talks about an anchor crying at the election. You know, — so, he’s playing a game with the press. The troubling part of it is, you know, if you look at PolitiFact, it’s like 70% of his claims, not true. And people say, well, it doesn’t matter. It’s Donald Trump. it’s symbolic what he just said. Don’t take him literally. But if you’re in the press, your job is to hold powerful people accountable. You’re supposed to call them out every time. You’re not supposed to be their buddy, but Trump only wants buddies.”

He comes off as a Steve Urkel sort of character. Maybe that was the goal.

Williams admitted that seeing a muslim on a plane with him made him nervous.

This act of heresy got him fired.

Williams cites politifact as an arbiter of truth, but he cannot understand why the electorate is fed up with newsies and pundits who do things like hide behind politifact.

See what happens when the envelops stop coming? Even a dunce like Juan Williams slips and tells the truth.

Roginsky is dreadful, but even worse is Jessica Tarlov. Her voice is so offputting that we have to use the mute button.

Even a blind Juan stumbles on the truth occasionally.

"Jessica Tarlov...her voice is so off-putting that we have to use the mute button."

I DID forget this freaky lefty. Her rapid-fire hideous voice (which is mostly unintelligable) is enough to make one flip over to another channel, which I do.

Williams and Geraldo, Roginsky and Tarlov....the Nightmare Quartette!

Yeah, when I think of all the ways CNN “called out” Obama over the last 8 years, I’m surprised the poor fellow survived. /s

I enjoyed watching Williams melting down and going into hysterics on election night. Other people on the Fox News panels were trying to talk him down but he was having none of it!
