Washington Insider with Ronald Kessler

Juan Williams Enriches Political Journalism


Former NPR analyst Juan Williams is not afraid to tell it like it is. The apprehension that Williams described on Fox News upon seeing Muslims boarding his plane is one that is shared by many Americans, and a valid topic for discussion. In firing Williams for making that comment, NPR CEO Vivian Schiller paraded her intolerance for dissent and managed to infuriate Democrats, Republicans, and the media. When Republicans dominate Congress next year, they will begin defunding National Public Radio and its affiliates.
