I don't generally care for Juan Williams' viewpoint. He is a liberal. But he's a liberal who's generally willing to listen to commentators from the right side, and respond without pitching a hissy fit or charging off the stage. Still, his firing has given the media spotlight to a major problem. Juan Williams was fired by liberal ideologues for making an honest statement on an opinion show. This action would be perfectly acceptable if he worked for MSNBC. MSNBC is a private company; they have every right to censor their employees, and they exercise that right—mainly in defense of Keith Olbermann.
