Juan Williams On His Firing From NPR And ‘The Assault On Honest Debate’
Juan Williams On His Firing From NPR And ‘The Assault On Honest Debate’
Last October, NPR senior reporter and analyst Juan Williams was fired after admitting –during an appearance on FOX’s The O’Reilly Factor – that he gets nervous when he sees someone on an airplane in “Muslim garb.” In his new book Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate, Williams recounts what happened in detail and takes a hard look at how political correctness has changed the course of history over the decades.
