"Juan goes LOW and starts slandering his co-hosts live on the air."

Juan Williams, co-host of the Fox News afternoon talk show “The Five,” has tested positive for COVID-19, the television personality confirmed with The Hill. Williams, who is also a columnist at The Hill, said he was informed that he had tested positive Thursday after a routine Monday weekly test at Fox News’s New York headquarters. Upon receiving the news, he took another test, which confirmed he was carrying the virus. The 66-year-old added that he is experiencing “flu-like symptoms,” including chills and headaches. He added that he was taken from New York to Washington, D.C., where he is staying at...

I am excited that @CondoleezzaRice, @jmeacham & @TheJuanWilliams will be joining @ExcelinEd’s #EdPalooza for a timely discussion on the role of #civics education in ensuring young people of today are prepared to successfully lead in a complex, divided & rapidly changing world.— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) November 16, 2020Register at https://t.co/21JwhWn7id. https://t.co/dpze4inoDp— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) November 16, 2020

At approximately 3:30PM today on Fox News, Matt Schlapp and Juan Williams were having a Pow Wow over the election. And Juan just couldn't wait to tell the world that according to him, there was no voter fraud, no evidence of any voter fraud in the 2020 election. What the hell! Voter fraud in at least 5 or 6 states has been the top story in the media since last Wednesday! Well at least Matt told Juan off! Pretty much called him a blatant liar!

Geez look at Fox News. This is the worst suicide since Epstein. pic.twitter.com/N4xrzaWl2k— Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 10, 2020

The president of Fox News and four of the network's top anchors have been told to quarantine after coming into contact with someone on a private flight who later tested positive for coronavirus. President Jay Wallace, The Five hosts Dana Perino and Juan Williams, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor Martha MacCallum were on a charter flight from Nashville to New York with the infected person on Thursday. The flight was taking the network executives, personalities and other staff members who attended the presidential debate back to New York.

The president of Fox News and several of the network’s top anchors have been advised to quarantine after being exposed to someone on a private flight who later tested positive for the coronavirus, two people with direct knowledge of the situation said on Sunday. The infected person was on a charter flight to New York from Nashville with a group of network executives, personalities and other staff members who attended the presidential debate on Thursday, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal network matters. Everyone on board the plane has been told to...

“When they go low, we go high,” then-first lady Michelle Obama said during the 2016 campaign. Well, in 2020, the Trump campaign is hellbent on going even lower than ever before. They went so low last week that their "October Surprise" against Joe Biden crashed! ADVERTISEMENT Trump had promised federal charges against Obama-era officials for purportedly conducting a “coup” that undermined his presidency from the start by illegally probing Russia’s ties to Trump’s 2016 campaign. The president wanted to see President Obama, Biden and Hillary Clinton in handcuffs. But Attorney General William Barr announced that John Durham, the prosecutor looking...

Liberal Fox News contributor Juan Williams seems unable to give President Donald Trump any credit for anything, not even multiple peace deals in the Middle East. On Tuesday, during an episode of The Five, Juan Williams claimed that the recent peace deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that Trump negotiated a “distraction” and that rather than achieving peace they are “accelerating” the “chance of war” in the Middle East. Williams made his argument while he and his co-panelists were discussing Nancy Pelosi’s recent remarks that the peace deals were a “distraction.” “It is [a distraction],” Williams...

I watched the 2020 Republican National Convention on C-Span, largely because the screen is uncluttered with banners and preview windows and they hang around at the end of such events for a while, particularly when President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence or First Lady Melania was the last speaker. I would try to turn to Fox for analysis only to see first up the shining visage of a Marie Harf or a Juan Williams, the DNC mole from a parallel universe that has lately been obsessing about something called “Qanon violence” whatever that is. Mornings at Fox have not been...

“It is what it is.” Well, Mr. President, the wife of the late David Nagy thinks you are wrong. She is furious at you about the death of her 79-year-old husband. “Family members believe David’s death was needless,” Stacey Nagy wrote in her husband’s newspaper obituary. “They blame his death ... on Trump, [Texas Gov. Greg] Abbott and all the politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.” Mrs. Nagy’s anger at Trump fits with the political message in another obituary in North Carolina: “In lieu of flowers, think...

In a new Op-Ed for The Hill, Fox News contributor Juan Williams argues Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic will hurt him with older voters. Williams brings up the examples of Stacey Nagy, who wrote in her husband’s newspaper obituary. “They blame his death…on Trump, Abbott and all the politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.”

Vivian Schiller, NBC News’ SVP and chief digital officer, is being tapped for Twitter’s head of news position, according to sources familiar with the matter. AllThingsD reported last week that she was the leading pick for the high-profile job. The deal is now “all but done,” according to sources, although Schiller will apparently take a significant period of time off between the end of her current position at NBC and the start of the new job at Twitter. -snip- Schiller’s NPR stint ended in controversy; she resigned from NPR in March following some very dicey snafus.

Last week, National Public Radio CEO Vivian Schiller took a break from her crusade for a government takeover of the media to swat a fly. With now-former NPR analyst Juan Williams suitably splattered across the evening news after politically incorrect comments he made on Fox News, Schiller can return to her real passion – the creation of a national network to ensure that in the future, you get your news from the government in general and NPR in particular.

Question: Curious: Had Juan said something to the effect that he's aware that some people cross the street when they see a group of Black people walking along, I don't think he would have been fired. In this case, he's speaking of a stereotype that sadly resonates in 2010. On the other hand, was Williams simply being honest? Does it make him a bigot instantly for his feelings on being on a plane with Muslims? Answer: ... I think Vivian Schiller has a real problem: In the eyes of the public, the press has moved on from this concept of...

Is Juan Williams a bigot? Probably not. Should National Public Radio have fired him for his anti-Muslim comments on Fox News? Not this time. No doubt Williams' bosses at NPR hated it when he was introduced several times each week on Fox News as "NPR's Juan Williams." (In fact, last year they asked him to stop identifying himself as a NPR correspondent when he appeared on Fox.) But if working for NPR and Fox News simultaneously is impossible, then NPR should have cut ties with him a long time ago. Letting him go now makes NPR look biased -- the...

News analysts at NPR – we are told – are held at a different ethical standard because they are news analysts and not commentators. I’m not sure what the difference between a news analyst, reporter or a correspondent is, but I think I know a commentator when I see one. Juan Williams definitely expressed his opinion on Fox News. I’m not so sure if he expressed his opinion on NPR, since it seems, all of his stuff has been wiped off the site.

NPR faced fierce public and political reaction - most of it strongly negative - in the wake of its firing of commentator Juan Williams for comments he made on a Fox News program earlier in the week. Even NPR's own staff expressed exasperation at the decision during a meeting Friday with NPR's president, Vivian Schiller. Several of those who attended said Schiller told employees that she regretted how she handled the episode.

Here is a checklist for fans of the “greatest of all presidents.” Where’s the wall — and is Mexico paying for it? Where’s the fabulous plan to replace ObamaCare? Where’s the deal with North Korea to end their nuclear threat? Where’s the racial healing in retweeting a supporter shouting “white power”? Oh, didn’t he tell you in February the virus was going to magically disappear and then repeat it to you last week after more than 125,000 Americans died from it? Now that’s a record of failure. And here is one more question on empty promises for Trump’s biggest fans,...

JUAN WILLIAMS AND SUSAN DELISE WILLIAMS – 42 YEARS Juan Williams is a popular name and face thanks to his work on Fox News. Williams happens to be one of the co-hosts on The Five. He has been married to Delise Williams for over forty years! The pair walked down the aisle in 1978. Delise is rather low-key, but she has made an appearance and a statement now and then. She even appeared in a show of Fox and Friends to do a demonstration of preparing crab legs!
