Bob Beckle used to be on CNN where he would berate Trump (and his supporters) for being ignorant and a racist, then he moves over to Fox and gets fired for being an ignorant racist himself. This idiot will rear his ugly face again somewhere because all of these news outlets are just there to get eyeballs, so in a few months when this is forgotten about, I'm sure many will not know any better and take his words and opinions at face value, not realizing the hypocrisy behind it.

I always advocate for making sure you google and understand those who report the news or their opinions to you on TV/Radio, so I'm just sharing here in an effort to keep folks informed and as a reminder to always question and understand the source of anything you are taking in.


Fox News Terminates ‘The Five’ Co-Host Bob Beckel | Variety

Quote:
In a statement, Wigdor alleged Beckel “stormed out of his office” when an African-American information-technology employee came to service his computer, “telling our client that he was leaving his office because he was black.” Wigdor alleged Fox News executives tried to get the employee to withdraw the complaint.
Also, keep in mind, this is an allegation, and there are only two people who really know what happened.

Yup, for now, but hence my point. He will be back somewhere, and people will pretend he is relevant and give him a platform for the awful and hateful things he has to say.

He's been erratic and hostile so this racist outburst doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, "hostile" and "curmudgeon" are probably the best ways to describe him, but now we can add racist I guess.

It's money worship. Go where the money is and do whatever you have to do to get it. Politicians, the media - filled with amoral, greedy ***holes.

He just needs to move to Hillary's neighborhood. I hear "those people" don't live there.

If memory serves me, 98% white in the land of the Clintons.

Yeah, easy enough to preach tolerance behind gated walls calling the help racist names.
