Juan Williams Agrees CNN 'Is In The Tank' For the Democrats (Surprise, Surprise!)
NewsBusters ^ | 10/30/2006 | Dave Pierre

In an eye-opening exchange on The O'Reilly Factor this evening (Monday, October 30, 2006), liberal Fox News analyst Juan Williams agreed with host Bill O'Reilly that CNN "is in the tank for the Democrats." The topic of the segment was Friday's testy exchange between Lynne Cheney and CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

O'REILLY: ... But the bigger picture is that Lynne Cheney asserts that CNN, in its election coverage, Juan, is in the tank for the Democrats. You buying that?

WILLIAMS: Yeah. I think that's true.

O'REILLY: (surprised) Do you really?

WILLIAMS: Yeah. I think that they are counter-programming Fox, is what it looks like to me.

O'REILLY: Well, no. MSNBC is doing that.

WILLIAMS: Well -

O'REILLY: You think that CNN's in the tank for the Democrats?

WILLIAMS: Well, I think that "Broken Government" program that Lynne Cheney was talking about - You know, Lynne Cheney made a really strong point when she said, "You know, the economy's doing pretty good. Where's this broken?" I have problems with this administration - look - in terms of American democracy. I don't know. It looks to me, though, that they are becoming more and more partisan. And that's what they think we do here at Fox.

O'REILLY: That's really interesting that you would say that, because Juan, of course, is the king of NPR and a liberal guy himself. Ummm. I don't know. I mean, I have to say. I'm busy here working all day. I'm not watching The Situation Room. I mean, I see the transcripts, but I don't know if they're in the tank.

CNN has admitted that they have contact with "insurgents

But Blitzer wouldn't answer Lynn C. as to where they got the film - he got flustered and danced all around it.

It should be made public LOUD AND CLEAR that this particular film was solicited from the terrorists by CNN- this is the film that is sticking in peoples minds - the one that is meant to influence the vote.

Therefore - HOW CNN got THIS film should be shouted out - to get through to the sheeple that they are being had

"A liberal who's been mugged" and all that.

Nice to see Juan's eyes opening.

Blitzer can dodge all he wants but I still believe that most Americans see right through this CNN enemy propaganda and will hold them accountable. CNN has a terrorist employee, Michael Ware.

NO, I have been 'GOOGLING' for a full transcript or video - no luck - heavy editing - I think, if I did hear it right - , that since he reaction was almost panic and his quickly went on to something else, that they would studiously edit the transcript...I am a writer, so am used to keeping a 'sharp ear' when listening to such discourse - and I don't think it was a figment of my imagination...

If I can find it, I'll 'ping' you - would you do the same? Thanks -

I guess we simply see two different guys speaking, I have not seen him show any "intellectually honesty". He is a rabid, anti-American liberal leftist that I have not seen care about any facts.

There is one on youtube.com that is 7 minutes long. I watched it yesterday. The one you are taking about is about 2 minutes.
