Joy Behar Wants 10% From Juan Williams, and Wants Us to Know NPR Has Been Thoroughly Vetted by Media Matters (VIDEO)

From a partial transcript, h/t Mediaite (I don’t know who did this transcript, but I tried to fix it as much as possible for spelling and punctuation errors.):

Barbara Walters: It’s why I sometimes have trouble here and don’t give my opinion because I’m also with ABC news. If you are a commentator and you’re giving opinions, you’re in one category.

Sherri Sheppard: Is that a pundit?

Walters: You can call it a pundit. If you are giving the news straight, you’re not supposed to give your opinions. Now, that’s changed so much. We’re in a whole other time now. Everybody has an opinion. If you don’t make more noise or scream louder or so on, you don’t get the ratings. So it is a funny blurred line. They said he’s a journalist, he’s a correspondent, and he’s not supposed to give opinions. But when he goes on another cable show like Fox and does it — so it’s a very blurry line. In the meantime, we hope he’ll come on with us and, if nothing else, give Joy and Whoopi 10%.


Sherri Sheppard: Bring your checkbook with you.

Joy Behar: I don’t need the money. But the thing of it is that NPR has been vetted by objective Media Matter type people and they have found that –

Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Media Matters?

Behar: I don’t know if it’s Media Matters. Maybe someone could find this out for me. They have found NPR is very balanced, unlike Fox, which is not balanced. Fox has now become the arm of the Republican Party.

Hasselbeck: That’s such a talking point, joy. It’s not true.

Behar: It is true.

Hasselbeck: It is not true.

Behar: People who are running for office are commentators on Fox.

Walters: Fox says their news is fair but they are a very conservative cable [station] with a particular point of view. I would like to ask our friend Bill O’Reilly, who is still with (sic) the subject every night on his program, I think we should get 10% of his salary.

You’re welcome, Joy. Chris “tingles” Matthews clip courtesy of me, you hypocrite buffoon.
