Juan Williams held his own on "The Five" tonight

I tuned in when both MSNBC and CNN were on commercial breaks. Juan was dauntless, despite the other four ganging up on him and the host trying to interrupt him every three seconds. The host--the dipwad who sits in the middle-- tried to say this meeting didn't meet the definition of "treason" or even "collusion," because there was no intent to deceive. Juan started laughing and set him straight over the course of a minute or two. Bravo!

Why does he even bother? Bringing a balance debate doesn't work on Fox.. Alan Colmes hosted his own program for years; I'd tune in to him daily, yet, during the time I watched, Fox fansrepublikkkans never changed their tune of hate and bigotry. They''ve been served hate of "others" for decades, all through our history really; propaganda, lies and hate. I'd wish Juan Williams would have some intergrity and leave ...you can't swim in the water with haters, who are against everything that you are (we are) in the hopes of educating, englightening, informing them; then giving the impression that FOX is inclusive--when it's not. At times he's [williams] is on Sunday Fox with Chris Wallace, maybe I'll tune in then, yet since the election of trumpf ...

I stay away from hate media. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a person of color, not just because of skin tone, but because that person is qualified to host a Sunday news program.(CBS. NBC. ABC) .. I'd like to see Mr. Williams, who is thoughtful, articulate and intelligent hosting Msm news; now, wouldn't that be a true reflection of our America.

(will check later,) and as I see it, maintained his integrity throughout. ( I don't watch, but do hear things occasionally about his honorable performance.)
