re: #12 Charles Johnson

Oh please! I said Juan Williams is dancing at Fox News just like I’d say any other person at Fox is dancing for their uninformed audience. It’s a song and dance show, bearing no resemblance to real journalism most of the time.

But if you want to bring up the question of whether Juan WIlliams fills a certain role at Fox News that’s based on his race, sure, let’s have that discussion - because I think he very clearly does.

So on the one hand you don’t mean to infer that Juan Williams only contributes to Fox News “a song and dance show”, despite his incredible background in civil rights, authoring multiple books, and his long respected political opinion, BUT you do want to infer that he is the sort of man who can be bought and paid for as a Token black at FNC, despite the fact that he joined Wendell Goler, Angela McGlowan, Harris Faulkner and Charles Payne. I wonder if you felt he was the token black at NPR? Where he actually was the only black on air talent (before they fired him).

I consider the dancing comment to be offensive, and the ” Juan WIlliams fills a certain role at Fox News that’s based on his race” to be offensive as well.
