I know Juan Williams and I like him, personally. I also believe that his basic values are solid and conservative. But, he is firmly on the liberal side of the political divide and as I have told him, he doesn’t know why. He is trapped by his background and political affiliation into a role that is not suited to his character. He laughs when I tell him about screaming at him when he appears on TV, but I think he paints me as the strange one. He lives in a fantasy world.
On this issue, his story is likely correct, but that’s no excuse. In this age of Google, he doesn’t need to trust the assistant, he just needs to Google a few text strings and he has the responsibility to do so.
