O'Reilly is sort of the end of the cycle. Fox sets him up as somewhat of a foil to Beck, so once he adopts a Beck idea, you can tell that it's reached maximum saturation.
He should reflect on how he allowed himself to turn into a Fox News character. Sure, I can understand what he said about being on a plane, but it was wrong of him to say it on public airwaves, that too on a muslim bashing channel. And he should have known that OReilly was expecting to have his own muslim bashing defended.
I believe Mr. Williams is a decent guy but being on non partisan and an uber partisan companies at the same time takes its toll.
He has only himself to decide on what his next step is. He can take the money and turn into another Morris or 'democrat expert' or, come clean.
Thanks.
It's not like 911 killers were dressed in burqas.
Williams' statement was irrational.

will you apologize to her? They did offer him a new contract.
If he was, why? Murdoch standing up for free speech?
Not wrong, fairliberal. Wow, you really do have a very limited ability to discern content, don't you?
Maybe you should try being a journalist, a professional journalist, instead of a shill for what is essentially a propaganda operation.
Who's kidding whom here, anyway?
That will just leave you less time to campaign for Republicans before the midterms.
Dance, puppets, dance!
/snark/
By the way, I think I figured out why Fox is going so crazy over this. I think they want to prove their not racist by defending him.
That is the reason he got fired. He has his own mind and the extreme left cannot have that.
He was fired for getting on the wrong side of Soros.
But my main beef today is this: hey MMTV--why must you always cut the video off PRECISELY at the best part? This is the latest in hundreds of trauma dramas that are unceremoniously chopped off at the exact moment a seemingly portentous point is about to be made. I know it's not Fair Use issues; your clips are too brief.
Maybe TOO brief.
What a f***ing sellout.
Also, you're not helping.
Let's see -- I'm not on board with the majority of users here or towing the liberal party line. I wonder how long my account will last before I'm silenced by those who are tolerant of everything but a difference of opinion?
Keep in mind, folks, that I am being polite and merely expressing a different point of view. Let's see how long before my account is squashed like an unwelcome insect.
Yeah, liberal. A word that generally means open to new ideas. Except in America in 2010, when it means get on the bus or be run over by it.
Nice, really nice.
What's the matter? Don't you support an employer's right to fire an employee who is violating the conditions of their employment? How very faux conservative of you. Sounds to me like you're not a conservative, you're just a Fox groupie.
You are a believable person because?
