Be sure you haven't eaten if you want to take a look at NPR's esteemed news "analyst," Juan Williams performing on the O'Reilly Show. Warning: it is one of the most nauseating smear pieces I've ever seen. If you'd rather skip it, here's a little taste of how this NPR "journalist" acquitted himself:O'Reilly: "Juan, they want to shut Fox News off. You've said that many times....they don't want any dissenting voices....they don't want any dissent; they're fascists right?"
Juan Williams: "Well, that's the problem. If you look at the numbers - not numbers done by Fox News, but numbers done by independent pollsters - what they say is conservatives, conservative consumers are the ones who think the media are most biased. Liberals for the most part don't think that...."
He's not done. Williams claims, "If you went to the conference this weekend, they have such anger and fury. Anybody who has anything good to say about America is a dupe, is a non-critical thinking person, lacking faculty...."
O'Reilly, warming up to Williams, notes, "But the hatred Juan. You're an African American, I mean you know this much better than I do. The hatred level at that conference...."
Then Williams, turning reality on it's head replies, "Bill, you should know this for yourself because you've been victimized, vilified, demonized....we're talking about the future of this country. You've got to realize, they're making it difficult to have a civil, logical discussion."
I definitely sent NPR's ombudsman a complaint, asking if they have any standards that apply to their staff working outside of NPR, and requesting that they terminate their relation with Williams.
