De-Fund NProgR
Go, Bill!
I was struck in this clip by how genuine Juan Williams seems. [Cynical? Me?!? uh, yeah.] I didn’t expect it.
He seems hurt, as well as angered by the dismissive treatment he was dealt by Vivian Schiller, who wouldn’t even talk with him about the situation. [in other circumstances, that would elicit cries of raaaacist, yanno] And Schiller’s immediate employment of tactics usually reserved by her ilk for use on the Bitter Clinger set. Ultimate betrayal, that.
Williams also seems genuinely surprised by O’R’s point that Williams will be all right after this—in fact, may be better off. He also seems genuinely surprised that O’R is acting like a stand-up guy. [me, too, kinda - but not that much]
OR *clicky*clicky*
Considering the company Williams has been keeping, he must be the loneliest SOB around. Maybe that will change, too.
On the other front: Whether or not Williams ought to have been fired.
If it had been any other “network,” I wouldn’t have objected. I didn’t object to the firing of Rick “cotton pickin President” Sanchez—I snarked, sure; I didn’t object. Private businesses can hire and fire for stuff like that. I can choose to watch or not based on what they choose to do.
This outfit is a horse’s arse of another color. Their caterwauling about div
Not that many are surprised, but that is for The Good. Also for The Good, is their petty, small, mean behavior being publicly exposed.
Even more for The Good would be a complete de-funding. We’ll see then whether or not That Eeeevil Scary Guy, Sorryass wants to buy himself a network or just some influence.
