Juan Williams Slams Beck’s Accusation That Obama Is A Racist: “I Was Just Stunned By That”

Juan Williams was a guest on C-Span’s In Depth program yesterday (8/2/09). During the three-hour interview, Williams was repeatedly challenged about the racism and divisiveness on Fox.

Looks Like Fox Isn't The Only Unbalanced Network

If you suspected that the CSPAN show Washington Journal tilted to the right, you were correct. Despite the poker straight expressions and the three phone lines for Democrats, Republicans and Independants, a recent study shows that Washington Journal is far less balanced than they claim. 12/2/05
