Juan Williams is a complicated figure. The author of three books on the civil rights movement, he is not exactly a traditional conservative. And he is a strong opponent of the Iraq war. On the other hand, he is no leftist either--he is very critical of much of the lefty establishment, starting with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Which is to say, he is an interesting guy, fearless in his opinions, always worth listening to.
And so when he said on Fox recently that CNN "is in the tank" for the Democrats, people paid attention. Although NewsBusters had the story in detail. Thanks to Dave Pierre for his alert blogging!
