NPR Fires Juan Williams; Fox News Expands His RoleFox News has re-signed Juan Williams to an expanded role with the network in a multi-year deal, Roger Ailes, chairman and chief executive officer of Fox News, announced Thursday after National Public Radio fired Williams for his comments on the O'Reilly Factor Monday night, when he said it makes him nervous to fly on airplanes with devout Muslims.
Williams, who will guest host The O’Reilly Factor on Friday night, appeared with O’Reilly on the show Thursday night.
"They take something totally out of context," Williams said Thursday night, adding that his point was that Americans must come to grips with their prejudices.
