Fox News’ The Five just lost a major personality. Juan Williams, who was one of the longest-serving hosts on the show, having been there seven years, will be leaving the show immediately.Williams announced his departure from the show today, noting that it would be his last show.Here was his comment per Deadline.“This is my last day hosting The Five,” Williams said on the show. “Covid taught me a lot of lessons. As the show goes back to the New York studio, I will be staying in D.C. I will be working for Fox out of Washington. My work as a...

Today is JW last day on the Five. Still working for FOX but as political correspondent. Please let it not be Donna Brazil.

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is being lambasted on Twitter for his controversial comments about the tragic murder of Uber Eats driver Mohammad Anwar by two teenage girls. Williams, who co-hosts the Fox News show 'The Five', said, "I don’t think they intended to kill anybody. They were looking to have a joy ride. It just went way wrong, way out of control, and ended up in a gross tragedy." His usage of the term 'joy ride' led to a storm of controversy on social media as users slammed him for 'sticking up for those murderers'. Co-host Jesse Watters...

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams told his co-hosts on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Five” that people on the right “put out lies” that “cities burned last summer” during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Williams said, “I think the far left of the Democratic Party and all their woke language really alienates a lot of moderate voters not only in the Democratic Party but people who are on the right and you might have been discontented with President Trump, and they hear all this stuff, and they think this is a little too far for their taste.” He continued, “I...

They used to pay me to fight with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on live TV. Now she’s fighting to keep the Republican Party alive. I’m no Republican. But this time I’ve got her back. You see, every American has a stake in preventing a major political party from being derailed by former President Trump’s supporters who prefer lies and conspiracy theories over reality. Everyone saw a dying party sliding off the rails last week when Republican senators ignored all facts to vote against convicting Trump on charges of inciting the riot at the Capitol. Democrats need the balance that comes...

"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...
