Malkin takes Juan Williams to school on “real journalism”

It was NRP (National Public Radio) who Williams worked for and who threw him under the bus when he dared to mention on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox Cable News, that overtly dressed Muslims, ie. women wearing burqas or nigabs and bearded men wearing pajamas, who were sitting on the same plane as him, made him feel nervous. That was it, that is all he said, but it was enough for an NRP official to deem him crazy and arrange for his firing. Apparently freedom of speech in America does not include the right to express ones concerns about Muslims even if those feelings were heartfelt and genuine. He did not attack all Muslims he was merely expressing an honest emotion. On the otherhand, people should never forget that although Fox hired Williams on the spot after his shameful firing by NRP, they hired Williams as a 'liberal' commentator. He was hired to be controversial and dispute the claims of his conservative colleagues when he disagreed with them so one should not be surprised if they find Williams merely doing the job that he was hired to do I believe this little set to between Michelle Malkin and Juan Williams (who incidentally both respect one another behind the scenes) is being overblown. It was said in the heat of the moment and both will get over it quickly enough and move on. Both Malkin and Williams are very thick skinned as you have to be in their business and have had much worse criticism applied to both of them. Juan Williams is a very decent man with a lot of courage and professional integrity and conservatives would we well served to remember that about Juan whenever he says something they take issue with. Juan Williams is the least of our troubles from the 'liberal' camp. We have much bigger fish to fry such as most of the mainstream media particularly MSNBC commentators not to mention far Left 'comedians' such as the consistently obnoxious Bill Maher. http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/06/14/malkin-takes-juan-williams-to-school-on-real-journalism/
