Juan Williams Misses Working For NPR ‘Big Time’

At a New York City event Thursday night, FOX News analyst and in-house “liberal” Juan Williams confessed that he misses working for NPR “big time.”

“Because that’s such an informed and influential audience,” he told Capital New York during the event.

Wait. Is he implying that his current employer’s audience is not informed? Probably not. So hold off on the speculation, people.

He continued on to explain that the public radio network’s “audience really liked me and I would often times help raise money for NPR.”

As you may recall, NPR fired Williams in 2010 after he controversially remarked on Fox News that he gets “nervous” when he sees fellow passengers in Muslim garb on airplanes. Since then, he’s blasted NPR several times, including the time he told the Huffington Post that the network represented “the worst of white condescension.”
