Michelle Malkin Takes Juan Williams to Woodshed for Saying 'I'm a Real Reporter, I Am Not a Blogger'
A fight broke out between New Media and Old Media on Fox News's Hannity program Wednesday that has the entire blogosphere abuzz.
When Fox News's Juan Williams, in the midst of a discussion about the national security leaks controversy, arrogantly told syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin, "I'm a real reporter, I am not a blogger," all hell broke loose (video follows with transcript and commentary, relevant section at minute 4:50):
MICHELLE MALKIN: Maybe Juan Williams could stick to the year 2012 for a second, David Sanger who's the New York Times' reporter who reported the story said, he said that the Obama administration explicitly did not stop him from running the story. It was clearly a strategic leak to aggrandize Obama at a time when he is been under fire for both the right, the left, the center. It's been a very bad week and very bad month for Barack Obama. These articles came out to fluff his feathers and make him look good at the expense of National Security. And all you can do Juan, is say Plame, Plame, Plame and blame, blame, blame, Bush, Bush, Bush.
JUAN WILLIAMS: Listen, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, Michelle, I'm a real reporter, I am not a blogger. Let me tell you something, the reporters go to officials and -- hang on, please. In a free society --
MALKIN: Right, because I'm not a real reporter.
WILLIAMS: And reporters go and talk to officials and that's not classified. In a free society, we want to know what the government's doing. We want to make decisions. Now, with regard to the stuff that Sean is talking about, when you look, for example at the cyber warfare effort, that's a constantly evolving thing. It's not been the case that nobody knows about it. Everybody has talked about it.
SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Juan, they gave us specific details.
(TALKING OVER EACH OTHER)
MALKIN: Pardon me.
WILLIAMS: They didn't give them any classified information about it, Sean.
HANNITY: Sure, they did.
WILLIAMS: They simply discussed the fact that there is such an effort.
HANNITY: They talked about a secret program to undermine Iran's nuclear program using cyber weapons. That's what we're discussing. That's what he's reporting on.
WILLIAMS: Sean, that's why we discussed and reported in papers. What David Sanger did -- and I think David did a great job was to go to public officials, people who represent the American people --
HANNITY: They shouldn't talk about -- when you have people's lives in jeopardy, Juan. And I will give Michelle the last word. We will never get anybody to work with us because their lives will be put in jeopardy, if it means propping up this President or in the words of Michelle, you know, fluffing his feathers.
MALKIN: That's right. If I could just say something, the American people are sick of the kind of snotty condescension from liberal elite journalists like Juan Williams who tell us that the rest of us are not doing our jobs. When the point is, that on February 2nd, 2009, when Eric Holder was shamefully approved and nominated and approved to be Attorney General, he had already had a long record of bastardizing National Security and the rule of law. People like -- yes, exactly! And people like Joseph Connor whose father was murdered by an FALN terrorists and said at the time, and I quote, "Before this nomination, warning Republicans, that Eric holder did not have the judgment, value or characters to hold that office."
WILLIAMS: Michelle, you are way off topic.
MALKIN: And we have been proven right, even though we are not professional journalists.
HANNITY: We have to go.
MALKIN: That is the point. That is the central point.
WILLIAMS: Michelle, Michelle, you are way off topic. And you're not talking about what were debating here tonight on Sean's show. But I mean, if you look at Bush's war done by Bob Woodward.
HANNITY: I don't want to hear about that. We have to go. Juan, you got to have to accept the reality. Holder is finished. He will go.
WILLIAMS: You guys are angry at Holder.
HANNITY: He is incompetent.
WILLIAMS: This has nothing to do with classified information.
HANNITY: Mark my words. Holder is gone before Election Day, mark my words.
WILLIAMS: Yes. That's what your wish is. But I don't know that there is any basis for it.
HANNITY: I'll take that bet.
MALKIN: So, real journalists are apologists for corruptocracy. We got it.
HANNITY: Guys, thank you.
MALKIN: Thanks, Juan.
WILLIAMS: You're welcome.
Let's begin with Williams' arrogant statement, "I'm a real reporter, I am not a blogger."
Here's how Williams is described in his Fox News bio:
He currently serves as a Fox News political analyst, a regular panelist on Fox Broadcasting's Sunday morning public affairs program, "Fox News Sunday," as well as the weekday political newscast, "Special Report with Bret Baier," and as a regular substitute host for "The O'Reilly Factor."
As such, in his current role, Williams is a political analyst and commentator. He is not a "reporter" "real" or otherwise.
Prior to working for FNC full-time, Williams was a senior news analyst with NPR from 1999 to October 2010.
That means Williams has been analyzing and commenting on the news rather than digging it up and reporting it for at least the last thirteen years. He should therefore be careful stepping down from that high horse.
With that as pretext, there can of course be differences between bloggers and reporters. As Ed Morrissey observed Thursday:
A field reporter can be out working all day long and end up with nothing more than a few paragraphs on an uneventful campaign event, which is why news organizations have to have so many reporters on staff (or at least in a free-lance arrangement), or subscribe to wire services to generate saleable content. I’ve met a number of fine field reporters on my few forays into the primary campaign this year, people like Jake Tapper, Jackie Kucinich, Olivier Knox, and more who try to get the facts into their reports regardless of who they help or hurt; we know more, like Sharyl Attkisson of CBS, from their work alone. (I’ve met a jerk or two as well, but they’re thankfully rare.) It’s tough work, and as bloggers we rely on them to form the basis of our opinion journalism. And Williams does have a point in that bloggers too often don’t pick up the phone to get statements from officials on their own to learn the other side of a story, if one exists.
Indeed. But Williams' condescension was misplaced in two ways.
First, Malkin has been a columnist since 1992 and is deserving of far more respect than Juan accorded her Wednesday evening.
Jeffrey Lord wrote at the American Spectator shortly after the incident that Williams owes Malkin an apology for his behavior. I quite agree.
Has Williams forgotten that It was conservative bloggers that came to his defense in October 2010 when he was terminated by NPR for comments he made about the fear he experiences when he sees folks dressed in Muslim garb at airports?
When the Old Media sold him down the river for these remarks along with his former employer, it was conservative bloggers like yours truly that were standing behind him.
It's quite possible that his full-time employment and rather generous contract offer from Fox News after this incident were a result of the support he got from those he so arrogantly castigated Wednesday.
Maybe he should consider that.
More importantly, Williams should recognize the critical role bloggers now play in journalism, and not cast them aside as so much garbage.
The list of stories broken by bloggers in the past ten years is too lengthy to list here but would certainly include things like Dan Rather's MemoGate and the corruption at ACORN.
A top story in the news today is next week's vote in the House regarding contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder regarding his handling of the covert Mexican guns mission Fast and Furious.
As this has largely been ignored by the mainstream media, one could make the case that the only reason such scrutiny has been brought upon this failed mission and Holder is because of the tireless work of conservative bloggers to bring this matter into the sunlight.
Maybe that's why folks like Williams have such disdain for bloggers, as it seems the best work done by the New Media is in exposing liberal misconduct the Old Media would rather bury.
We at NewsBusters have come to Williams' defense when we felt it was warranted, but in this instance, his behavior was truly lacking in character and judgment.
He could do better - A LOT better.

Does anyone but me remember the last [big explosive] time that some "real reporter" tried to put Michelle Malkin "in her place?"
It was Horrendo Revolver (Cheech and Chong's name for Geraldo Rivera) that tried. Michelle covered it at the time with: http://michellemalkin.com/2007/09/01/geraldo-rivera-unhinged/
How did that work out?
+ Michelle quit the O'Reilly Factor
+ Michelle went on to great success
+ Michelle is in great demand on all media
+ Michelle started New Media businesses that thrived
- Horendo kept his FNC show but it bombed + cancelled
- Horendo is dis-invited to many political events
- Horendo got a few gigs covering hurricanes, but even they quit happening.
And now, this just in:
Radio: Geraldo Rivera show going national despite low L.A. ratings
While Michell Malkin leads the way in New Media with Twitchy and other fab efforts, and her former HotAir.com effort continues strong, and is growing.
As Dana Loesch @DLoesch tweeted: Hi MSM. When your ratings match our page views you can lecture to us about journalism. Truth sells. Propaganda doesn't. #justablogger
As Katy Abram @katyabram tweeted: It's amazing someone like @michellemalkin who's #justablogger has broken more news than pretty much every #realjournalist
As Ben Howe @BenHowe tweeted:
Dan Rather was a "real journalist." People that were #JustABlogger at the time exposed him. Now he's #JustAHack.

He does that much more with her than Juan, and Juan is usually just doing the same ole talking points.

The bloggers have been "scooping" the "real reporters" lately. Why? Hard to say decisivley, but at least some of the reason is because most of the "real reporters" are more concerned with running interferance for the administration and acting as advocates and activists for their liberal ideology than they are in reporting facts and events as news.

c5then, you're on the money here. The problem the alleged "real reporters" (or believe themselves to be, Juan) have with the 'lesser beings" like Michelle is that Michelle and the "new breed" of reporters don't have to answer to multiple layers of editors and owners that are willing to take "facts" and 'line out' until you have either "one-side" of the story or no real story left at all. Michelle (and bloggers in general) is directly answerable to her readers. If we don't like what we see, she is 'out-of-there.' "Bloggers" are in many cases no-less "reporters" or "analysts" that what you find on any many of the major stations (a.k.a. MSM), they just don't make millions of dollars for their faces being on the TV screen. Not having your face in front of thousands (Current TV), millions (MSM), tens of millions (FoxNews), does not diminish the information that is generated by these hard working 'newsies.'
And it weren't for "bloggers"
Submitted by clancie on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 11:03am.
And it weren't for "bloggers" (as little whiny Juany wanted to slim Michelle with), Americans would have little but bias, political bigots posing as "journalist" and reporters, feeding them Leftist propaganda on the nightly news. Malkin is more of a journalist than Juan because she digs for facts and accuracy to "report", where Juan reads White House/DNC talking points, void of either of the aforementioned.
Juan is a moron.

I'd tell you the only reason he has a job with Fox, but I'd be called a racist.
He's like someone who thinks that when you speak to someone who doesn't understand English, the way to make the listener understand is to speak louder, as if that will overcome the language barrier.
The louder he talks, the more bullshiite he's spreading, but if he says it louder, it's somehow more believable.
He's really a liberal jackass.

He not only was condescending toward Michelle Malkin for no apparent reason, but when he kept saying that there was no breach in national security I kept yelling at my TV "What about Dr. Afridi?

I agree, he is under the misconception that LOUDER makes him more powerful. In fact, constant HOLLERING annoys the viewers and in his attempt to belittle others, ends up making himself look like a clown!
I agree with Noel, Michelle deserves an apology! As do Fox management and staff who came to his defense in the PBS scandalous conduct.
Someone in management should advise the man to 'cool it'!!! His current 'chip on the shoulder' attitude does NOT become him.
I was so happy when the Hannity/Colmes nightly battles ended. However, it seems the producers must want to have an antagonistic environment on his show even without Alan. I am certain Sean would be a success without all the back and forth screaming and I hope the producers will consider creating a more POSITIVE 60 minutes for me to watch...otherwise I'm clicking the OFF key. I hate to do so, because I really like Sean. Note to Fox News: I'm beyond SICK & TIRED of the ANTAGONISTIC atmosphere.

Weekend at Osama's....
Submitted by adamsmith on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 12:08pm.
I'm in disbelief that no news reporter or news agency hasn't looked into the "Osama Kill" story. I haven't seen anything reported on how none of that story made any sense. Just the fact that he was 'buried at sea with a Muslim funeral" in less than 24 hours should have set alarm bells off all over at least the non-liberal media. Imagine if the Russians had done the same thing with Hitler if they had the chance to capture him. "Oh we just shot him and now the body is gone". The other allies would have gone insane. A few months later a page 36 story comes out that of course no one notices where the administration claimed they brought the body back to Guantanamo. Really? And no one even mentions it.
That Doctor who just got 33 years in a Pakistani prison will never be heard from again as he knows Osama wasn't Osama. The 30 Navy Seals that "just happen to be on a single helicopter" and it gets hit with an RPG and all hands go down. Thirty of the best warriors killed in a single incident and no one in the media even thinks about reporting it. Did the seals know it wasn't Osama, maybe a body double? Did they question why are we shooting this guy when we could easily capture him and bring him to justice? Does the administration even think about an investigation into how some insurgent with an RPG happens to hit the chopper at the exact moment ALL THIRTY Seals were packed onto an old Chinook chopper to head into battle?
I remember watching Ann Coulter on Hannity's show I believe, some five or six years ago and her laughing that Bin Laden was killed in Tora Bora. Made sense, as there never was any fresh video of the guy and the sound audio that was given to US authorities could have been way doctored. Not to mention if anyone even verified it was really him. The fact that this guy needed a kidney dialysis machine to live pretty much guaranteed he wasn't going to be around long. There was no mention of a kidney dialysis machine at Bin Laden's compound when he was shot INSTEAD OF BEING CAPTURED!!!!!!! Bush was mocked for saying he didn't give Bin Laden much thought. I believe he knew Bin Laden was in all likelihood dead, but in saying that, would have pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan before he had the chance to really damage Al Queda. Weekend at Osama's anyone? Commander Communist sees a reelection gold mine in setting up this fraud. Remember, he's backed by Soros and anything is possible in that little world. Get a body double into Pakistan, use the Navy Seals as patsies to pull it off, and Obamalinsky comes out looking like a Green Beret after MSNBC massages the story for political gold. No body, no crime....I am not a conspiracy guy. I don't believe 9/11 was an inside job. I don't believe anyone but Commie Crazy Lee Harvey Oswald pulled a trigger. It's just that when the body was "buried" at sea within 24 hours, none of it made any sense to me. A live Bin Laden would have been a real trophy for the Seals, and they could have taken him live with little effort.
This is the biggest conspiracy I have ever witnessed in my life and no one has even considered any of this. Like everything else Obama, it just gets swept under the rug. I'm not asking anyone to believe what I've written here, just consider how none of the "facts" make any sense at all.....This makes two administrations that used Bin Laden for a "Weekend at Osama's"

That discussion itself is a violation. The entire program was classified. That mean's it couldn't be "discussed' with anyone who didn't have the proper clearance. You can't even tell someone if a classified program even exists, because it's classified. I don't care if the person was a "real reporter," a "blogger" or Aunt Jemima. You can't discuses classified information with anyone who doesn't have a clearance. It;s a violation of federal law. That's a fact.
What is it about "real reporters" who think that laws don't apply to them? That press pass, that diploma in Journalism, isn't a "get out of jail free" card. You have to follow the laws, period. Get use to it.

Juan Williams, no matter if he has an opinion in which we may agree (rarely) or disagree (usually) is never short of insufferable and condescending. Even when no one voices an objection to his pretentious attitude, it's always there. By the way, as far as I'm concerned, when any "journalist" voices his or her personal opinion on the news, he or she immediately ceases to be a "real journalist" - especially when it's stated in no uncertain terms. Once that happens, they become a commentator - and can never go back.

I am so tired of this liberal token appearing on shows. He is not a great thinker. Do you ever learn anything different from what Beckel says?
Fox is just the best of the worst. Why do we need debate TV? How about some newsgathering?
Fox is the best, they say, so they must be making money. How about spending some time in the deep end of the pool? There is so much more they could do but don't. They have become smug and complacent.
After 11pm we get reruns instead of giving some intrepid reporters a chance to do something we don't normally see, that is, newsgathering. People are tired of hearing the same old faces spout the same old points of view. Why do they characterize people as "democratic strategists" or "former federal prosecutor"? So if you are a Dem or a Repub or anything else with an opinion, you are a
strategist?
Williams gets paid over a million bucks to have an opinion that is the same as every other Dem clown? Why? They felt sorry for him. His buddy, pompous ass, B O'R, is so poorly informed that it is criminal.
Don't you just love the fact they think you and I are dumb? You can tell Williams is a goofball by the reaction you see in his eyes as he takes in what the opposition says. The Five is another example of poorly done television. Man, I miss Beck. At least he gave you some facts and figures.
You could actually look something up if you disagreed in order to prove him right or wrong.
