For more than a decade, fraud hack Juan Williams had no problem taking a big paycheck from Fox News, even when everyone else, including other media labeled them “right wing media.” It was Fox News and conservatives that defended Williams when NPR tossed the trash out and fired him over some comments about Muslims. Now that Fox is lurching left at a breakneck pace, Williams is now writing about how bad and dangerous “right wing media” is. It’s ok Juan, no one is watching you or Faux anymore, so it’s all good.

Here’s what former President Obama thinks about the far right.
Their brains are numbed by the din of the right-wing echo chamber.
Conservative talk radio and clickbait websites drown their capacity to think with noisy, repeated messages of fear and grievance, he told The Atlantic magazine.
It requires them to “go along with conspiracy theorizing, false assertion, fantasies that Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh and others in that echo chamber have concocted,” the former president said in an interview to promote the release of his new book, “A Promised Land.”
The first Black president is baffled that right-wing talk hosts have succeeded in marketing Trump as a hero for working-class white people.
Trump is neither a stand-up for the little guy, a Robin Hood populist, nor a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood type of “classic male hero” in Obama’s eyes.
To Obama, Trump is a rich-guy cartoon character: “Richie Rich — the complaining, lying, doesn’t-take-responsibility-for-anything type of figure,” he told Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic.
He explained: “I would not have expected someone who has complete disdain for ordinary people to be able to get attention and then the following from those very same people.”
