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.”

A shocking notion.
No....Juan is actually that DUMB!! Every time either Eric or Kimberly make a great point, Juan has that CONSTIPATED look.
Juan Williams. Captain Obvious.
He comes off as a Steve Urkel sort of character. Maybe that was the goal.
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.
Wow! Now we know why Juan hauls in the big bucks. Sharing information that nobody else knows. Thanks, Juan. {eye roll]
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.
Well, duh...
Even a blind Juan stumbles on the truth occasionally.
Barry’s butt buddy says what? Bwahahahahahayhahahaha !
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!
Leni
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
That’s from a good while ago.. back during the primaries I believe.
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!
I’m watching him now.....briefly......the guy is dumber than plywood. If he says “ya know what?” one more time.....
yup, more of that fake news we keep hearing about...
