'''Juan Williams''' is a full-time commentator for the [[Fox News Channel]], where he exchanges [[liberal]] or left-of-center commentary with [[Sean Hannity]], and formerly [[Bill O'Reilly]]. He had been a commentator for [[National Public Radio]] since 2000, but was abruptly fired {{if this year|2010|{{before|11|1|this month|last month}}|last year}} after his on-air mention of his "visceral fear of people dressed in Muslim garb at the airport", which his bosses said had violated "NPR’s values for editorial commentary" (even though he made his remarks on a different network).

Williams also formerly worked as a columnist for the [[Washington Post]] for over 20 years. 
He is the author of ''Eyes on The Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965'' and ''[[Thurgood Marshall]]: American Revolutionary''.

Williams' dismissal from NPR set off a firestorm of controversy over [[free speech]],  [[censorship]] and [[Liberal intolerance]] from a taxpayer funded [[Government Sponsored Entity]]. NPR's chief operating officer Vivian Schiller<ref>Shiller graduated from [[Cornell University]] with a Bachelor's degree in Russian studies and [[Soviet]] studies. Prior to becoming CEO, Schiller was a senior vice president of [[NYTimes]].com.</ref> publicly [[defamation|defamed]] Williams during his firing.<ref>http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/10/npr-ceo-juan-williams-views-should-stay-between-himself-and-his-psychiatrist-video/</ref>
