Honigman<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Channel hopping, I usually can&#8217;t help but settle on Fox News for such programming&#8230;and at times I have problems with that choice too. So I turn to the wildlife or fishing channels instead.<\/p>\n<p>Fox&#8217;s recent hiring of folks like the unscrupulous Democrat honcho (honcha?), Donna Brazile, is a case in point. She and her cohort in crime, south Florida Congressional Democrat Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, would stop at nothing to get their guy or gal elected: in Brazile&#8217;s case, feeding <em>at least<\/em> one question to Hillary Clinton in a major debate. And that&#8217;s just what she <em>got caught<\/em> doing. So, CNN axes&#8211;and then Fox hires&#8211;her.<\/p>\n<p>No other Lefties in town to choose from for &#8220;fair and balanced&#8221; reporting?<\/p>\n<p>While there&#8217;s been some other problems, it&#8217;s the next one that painfully lingers, causing repeated bouts of severe indigestion&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what Fox is paying Brazile for her irreplaceable wisdom, but I do know that, when a current co-host of \u00a0<em>The Five\u00a0<\/em>and frequent participant on some other programs as well, Juan Williams, was hired, he came aboard with a three year, $2 million contract in 2010. I&#8217;m sure that has increased substantially since then.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does he continue to be hard to stomach nowadays for anyone with neurons firing properly, but I can&#8217;t help remembering a particular day, years ago, when I was driving home from work and listening to\u00a0National Public Radio.<\/p>\n<p>On February 1, 2007, I had tuned in for the sake of hearing NPR&#8217;s latest biased reports against Jews and\/or the <em>Jew of the Nations&#8211;<\/em>aka Israel.\u00a0I like to keep on top of these things, and as\u00a0frequently happens, I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>But, talk about irony!\u00a0Williams would <em>later <\/em>get canned from NPR because he admitted on Fox News to nervousness when boarding a plane and seeing folks who first and foremost identify themselves as Muslims&#8230;\u00a0Hey, just because too many of such folks are frequently blowing others apart somewhere, and still others approve and\/or\u00a0plot to do likewise, what a stretch, <em>heh <\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, around the time or within recent memory of when Hamas was incinerating, decapitating, disemboweling, and so forth \u00a0Jewish teens in pizza parlors and nightclubs, grandparents and grandkids in ice cream shops, families at weddings, Passover Seders, in restaurants, shopping malls, or shooting pregnant women at point blank range in their cars, along with their other kids strapped in children car seats, and other acts of Arab heroism, Whitewashing Juan decided to do a NPR program about the &#8220;humanitarian&#8221;\u00a0side of Hamas&#8211;the proud perpetrators of those previously mentioned acts.\u00a0You know, the Arabs\u2019 version of Hadassah\u2026\u00a0I almost had an accident driving that day.<\/p>\n<p>Several years later, I encountered him spewing additional wisdom (<em>just think about what I missed in between<\/em>).\u00a0The occasion involved&#8211;<em>then <\/em>Senator, <em>later<\/em> (ironically) President Obama&#8217;s future VP, and <em>now <\/em>Democrat contender in the battle to see who takes on President Trump in 2020&#8211;Joseph Biden. The latter\u2019s well-intentioned, but condescending and ignorant, remarks about Senator Barack Obama, the young black Democrat who was one of his competitors for his party\u2019s nomination, would seal Biden&#8217;s fate regarding that contest.<\/p>\n<p>Williams at the time was a senior NPR and Fox News political reporter. He was being interviewed on NPR and brought up other examples of articulate and \u201cclean\u201d black political figures whom Biden had ignored when he sang earlier, backfiring praises to the man who, among other things, the Nation of Islam&#8217;s Louis Farakhan referred to as &#8220;the messiah&#8221;&#8230; none other than Reverend Jeremiah Wright&#8217;s virtual nephew, Barack Hussein\u00a0Obama.<\/p>\n<p>I waited patiently.\u00a0I mean, if you\u2019re going to have a program dedicated to Biden\u2019s stupid remarks and unspoken potential prejudice, and then bring up the Dynamic Duo&#8211;Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton&#8211;as alleged examples of other good black politicos, then they ought to be just that\u2026<em>good examples.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>At no time during Whitewashing Juan\u2019s comments about Jackson or Sharpton did Jesse\u2019s \u201cHymietown\u201d and many other disturbing remarks about Jews and Israel grace the airwaves. Nor did his shakedown tactics for \u201cfundraising\u201d and such.\u00a0No doubt, much of the<em> gelt<\/em> Jesse has raised has come from &#8220;Progressive&#8221;\u00a0Lefty Jew idiots.\u00a0Some Jews&#8211;some would say far too many&#8211;just love to show Christians and everyone else how best to<em> really &#8220;<\/em>turn the other cheek.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sickeningly suicidal&#8230;Anyway, as for Reverend Al, a more blatant anti-Semite would be hard to find. Yet this too was ignored by a Williams who was so troubled by Biden. By the way, just recently, other such Hebrews invited this Jew-hating <em>man of cloth<\/em> to give a presentation at a major event of the nation&#8217;s largest Jewish denomination.<\/p>\n<p>As just one of many examples of Sharpton\u2019s deadly anti-Semitic prejudice (whatever Senator Joe\u2019s sins may be, they don\u2019t include promoting murderous violence), in 1991 a Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn\u2019s Crown Heights section accidentally killed a 7-year-old black kid. A tragedy, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, children get hit by cars every day.\u00a0On this occasion, however, ugly anti-Semitic riots erupted.<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Al (whose religious services Fox&#8217;s Geraldo Rivera&#8211;whose own new book attacks Israel like <em>His Holiness<\/em> does&#8211;says he likes to attend) raced to the scene to pour fuel on the fire.<\/p>\n<p>At seven-year old Gavin Cato\u2019s funeral, Sharpton inflamed the crowd against \u201cdiamond merchants\u201d &#8211;i.e., Jews&#8211;with \u201cthe blood of innocent babies\u201d on their hands.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was a good, old-fashioned, murderous blood libel against Jews&#8230;but this time it was instigated by a major leader of a people who should certainly know better. And led by one of Fox&#8217;s Whitewashing Juan&#8217;s preferred black role models,<\/p>\n<p>Sharpton next mobilized hundreds to march through the Hasidic neighborhood chanting, \u201cno justice, no peace.\u201d A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, was subsequently surrounded by a mob and stabbed to death while Sharpton\u2019s mob shouted, \u201ckill the Jews!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019d<em> really<\/em> like to know is how Sharpton, who was later awarded with his own television show (but not, thank goodness, on Fox), managed to avoid getting charged with something like aiding and abetting, or being an accessory to, murder.<\/p>\n<p>The next Presidential and other elections will be here before we know it.\u00a0We should all carefully scrutinize the integrity not only of the candidates, but those giving commentary as well.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair to its viewers, and remain better than its competition, Fox News needs to make sure that it has present, on the same programs of the various Whitewashing Juans, folks who will nail them hard when they spew their detritus.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fq4j-middle-east.com&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C46033a566aed462c5fec08d710fb4cef%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636996543819414570&amp;sdata=Le6J58c6LTSO8LB93OtFJVGjKZUKBZHN4D9hvLCMjOI%3D&amp;reserved=0\">http:\/\/q4j-middle-east.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fox&#8217;s\u00a0Donna, Geraldo, and\u00a0Whitewashing Wan&#8230;er Juan by Gerald A.
