Has anyone noticed 2 missing people from TV news shows? We all know that Juan Williams was fired by NPR over remarks they felt were not politically correct. Well, 2 other people have disappeared. Where is the Judge? Judge Napolitano vaporized from Fox News. At least they gave Glenn Beck a send off. The Judge just poofed.
He isn’t the only MIA. Pat Buchanan also was fired from MSNBC, very quietly. He too poofed. I hadn’t missed him. I noticed he hadn’t been on for a while. Apparently in his case, his book, “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” irritated too many people who called for his ouster. Pat has written about his firing in a piece he calls The New Black List.
Juan Williams interviewed Pat Buchanan. The two journalists have a few things in common, the main one being that they were both fired for stating their opinions. During the interview, he asked Pat Buchannan if he was a racist.
Pat Buchanan claims that what some of the groups who clamored for his ouster are black-listing those they want to silence. Juan Williams agreed with him. Both men had a very congenial conversation. This is an interview worth watching.
Are people being black-listed and who is responsible? By the way, Buchanan said no, he wasn’t a racist.
Some groups are blacklisting people whose opinions they don’t want to hear? Is it manditory for news organizations and media outlets to let anyone and everyone who has an opinion have access? If so, when will we see Rachel Maddow on Fox, or Bill O’Reilly on MSNBC?
