Fmr. Fox News Commentator: Beck's 'Scary' Language was Factor in My Decision to Leave Fox

[pokenhorn]

The key to Fox's smashing success is that they have the most principaled, decent, honest people laying out facts that matter to the world. The rest of the channels are intellectually inbred phonies. But hey, keep kidding yourselves. Nothing turns people away from you faster than watching you pretend to be objective.

[dsdougharty]

Glen Beck is an Unsuccessfull comedian. He used to do fart jokes for a LA radio station. His political opinoins aren't his own. He just found an avenue of success in punditry. The crazier he is the more money he makes. Stop feeding the machine that created him by no longer talking about him.

[xadam2dudex]

MSNBC is nothing like FOX fake terrorist news....there is nothing but lies and distortion with an agenda for the corporate wealthy elite

[BarthBunzel]

Beck is a clown, I feel sorry for him.

[Thesterness]

@BarthBunzel

I would feel sorry for him, if it weren't for the fact that what he's preaching is outright dangerous and is only going to end up in people getting killed :-/ We were lucky with the Tides Foundation guy getting caught.

[steelers7thheaven]

boring interview. No examples to back up what she said and commentator did't ask the question. I will listen to what you say if you have proof.. Maybe this lady got the boot and is bitter.

[RebelZidane]

@steelers7thheaven Why does she need proof to support her opinions? She listed two debate shows, that were no longer debate shows as evidenced by the subtraction of two cohosts and a change in the show name, and she gave her opinion on Beck. Sorry but last I checked, having an opinion didn't require "evidence." Did you need a brain scan to prove that they had that opinion? You're an idiot, sorry.

[steelers7thheaven]

@RebelZidane are you saying I am an idiot because I would have found her more interesting if she presented facts to back up her statements? Don't bother to answer that.

[RebelZidane]

@steelers7thheaven I'm saying you're an idiot because you're asking someone to use facts to back up an opinion. Would you ask me to provide facts if I told you that my favorite food was pizza? Oh, and the Steelers suck.

[steelers7thheaven]

@RebelZidane And you are a college student? Very sad.

[RebelZidane]

@steelers7thheaven Yes, I learned in my institute of higher education that OPINIONS don't need facts to support them dumb ass.

[MystikWizard]

I always enjoyed listening to Jane Stone during her "Bernie and Jane" segment on Bill O'Reilly as she seemed to actually be level-headed, and actually fair in her analysis.

And she is absolutely right, in that FOX has moved even further to the Right, since Obama won the presidency. Nothing wrong with that, but then again when you state that you are "Fair and Balanced" when you are actually heavily slanted to the Right, that isn't being honest.

[theygunaHATEME]

Bitch got tired of bieng wrong, and put in her place, GIVE ME ONE EXAMPLE OF FOX BIENG WRONG ABOUT OBAMA AND ILL VOTE FOR HIM IN THE NEXT ELECTION....... NAZIS

[maximusdecimus888]

BobSTKKKommie, I like how you hurl insults like moltov cocktails like you are some gate keeper of knowledge know-it-all-badass, but you won't let people send you personal messages unless they are your friend. You don't know fuck from fuck. We can safely assume you have no friends in real life much less this imaginary onlne fantasy world you live in of blanketed anonymity.

[NotsoNutso]

Beck is a psychofreak & should be muzzled. The man is so paranoid he accused the Feds of invading his underwear drawer.

[Fockersnextdoor]

Glenn Beck just asks questions and makes Americans aware with video evidence.He even put a direct line to the White House so they could correct him if he puts out bad info. seems honest not scary or over the top.

[DecayingGreyPlanets]

If the White House actually called that line he would have an entire show calling the White House out for trying to discredit him instead of doing their jobs. You can say you disagree but you and I both know its true. That stupid ass "direct line to the White House" is nothing but a trap.

[Fockersnextdoor]

So are you confirming that the White House fears Glenn Beck? or they are not smart enough to prove him wrong?

[everythingeco]

Fockersnextdoor

Are you suggesting that Beck is some amazing person that somehow has more intelligence than the conjoined powers of the White House? You give him too much credit.

The WH could simply erase Beck. Then all you would have is an "Ah HA, You see!", and you could add it to your lot of many.

People take this guy too seriously.

And his little phone prop(that probably isn't really connected), it's laughable at best, and only furthers the reach for ratings.

[quizerry]

Its sad because no one has called him to say his facts are wrong. Yet the Whitehouse called MSNBC in the middle of a show to correct their facts. What does that say? Beck must have the real facts!

[BobSTK]

quizdingleberry... It says The White House recognizes MSNBC as a legitimate source for news & facts. Since intelligent voters watch MSNBC, having corrections made on the spot keeps possible voters well informed. It recognizes Fixed Gnus as an outlet for the crazies who wouldn't recognize the truth if it hit them in the ass. Next question please!

[quizerry]

Next question how come you can't debate without calling people names. You do know it shows insecurity in when you have to put others down to make your point.

How about sticking to the issues and drop the name calling.

[maximusdecimus888]

Fox's ratings are through the roof and these filthy liberals can only scratch their stupid heads in wonderment. LOL!

[BobSTK]

maxdingleberry, It appears you like ratings. Well... How about these ratings?

White House Dem's 1, Repub's 0

Us Senate Dems 58, Repubs 40

House of Rep.'s Dems 256, Repub's 177

Do you like those ratings?

[quizerry]

Those will change in 2010 when were are all broke and owe half our salaries in taxes.

[barneygrumble]

jerry springers ratings went down and fox news ratings went through the roof!!!

[jsrsch1979]

glad you're gone, don't come back

[Iceberg6606]

I disagree with her comments about MSNBC, but I completely agree with her about FOX and Beck.

[mary7bartula]

Smart woman....jump off the sinking ship!

[speezguy]

@mary7bartula Sinking ship? Last I checked they have the highest ratings by far. You must be reading the wrong books.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

I never suggested what happened in Louisiana was fake. Nice try with the strawman tactics. Who says I hate fox? I never said that? My point was as an entire organization they choose what issues they want to cover. did i say huricane katrina was a non issue? NO!. But they pick a lot of non issues and make issues out of them. It does not mean that AS AN ABSOLUTE VALUE ANY DAMN ISSUE THEY EVER RAISED IS A NON ISSUE. Geezus man

[mdjbm]

who is this sorry cunt?

[EnhancementSmoker]

that and being regularly berated to the point of tears for no reason by Bill Oreilly

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Beck has got to go.. and he will.

[killergames187]

Beck is not going so get over your self!

[1911arthur]

Heavily TAX ammo and reloaders to pay for our public option!

It's the RIGHT thing to do!

[shallowman]

Aw I wanted to hear his two cents. :(

[Ardenwolfe]

What the hell are you smoking? And what the hell does that have to do with this video?

Stay on topic.

[Greg78X]

Notice the lack of her name or time at FOX

[SabuPtolemy]

Dumbass, where in Europe did the Jews kill to take land? LOL Stop being ignorant and educate yourself on how Jews came to be part of the European fabric instead of parroting ridiculous Islamic propaganda.

[SabuPtolemy]

"do you not understand that the Darkages are Judeo-Christian Ruled Era?"

Do you not understand that the Dark Ages ended ages ago and we are now in the 21st Century? Jerusalem has had many diff. rulers and none of it has fuck all to do with the fact that the Palestinians need to get their shit together and stop whining. Throw away the old keys and start building on your land so you'll need new keys soon. The Jews did it. The Germans and Japanese rebuilt after the war. Why can't the Palis?

[SabuPtolemy]

I'm not anti-Palestinian - I'm anti-stupidity and anti militant Islam. The main thing that holds Palestinians back are the Palestinians themselves. Because they've bought into the cult of victimhood for too long and let themselves be manipulated by militant Islamo fascists hoping they'd do their bidding. They need to wake up, educate themselves and get on with it. Make Gaza liveable now that you have it. Tell those Hamas & Hezbollah clowns to fuck off instead of letting them use you as a shield.

[SabuPtolemy]

Jews lived in Palestine 2000 years and longer ago and now they do again. What is the problem here? And even if some of them own land elsewhere - why should they not have their own homeland where their ancestral roots are? - Palestinians need to stop dangling old keys and get busy and do what the Jews did 70 years ago: Make something out of nothing. Work the land, build, and stop feeling sorry for themselves and being jealous of their neighbors. Time's a wastin'!

[SabuPtolemy]

FACT: Most Palestinians are plain Arabs. Most Arabs are Muslims - whatever strain of the religion they subscribe to.

If you want to call Gaza and the West Bank a camp - be my guest. Land is what you make of it. The Jews made formerly arid land bloom. I'd love to see the Palis turn Gaza into something worthwhile. So far all it is is a shithole controlled by Hamas and Hezbollah who'd rather troll and threaten their neighbors than do something constructive for their people.

[SabuPtolemy]

The sad truth is - minorities will always be bullied by the majority, especially in times of trouble. Easy scapegoats. Just because Jews have a higher profile than gypsies after centuries of ebb and flow of persecution is no reason to spew the kind of anti-Semitic garbage you have in this thread. The general lack of acknowledgment re: the plight of the European gypsies doesn't make anybody racist. It merely means more work has to be done to make people aware of a broader scope of history.

[freesk8]

The job of the news media is to serve as a check and balance on power in corps and govt.

When the R's are in power, I like Olbermann. Fox was a lap-dog to the Bush admin.

When the D's are in power, I like Fox. CNN, MSNBC, et al are lap-dogs to the Obama admin.

Power tends to corrupt. Sunlight tends to cleanse.

We need a media that questions authority.

[SabuPtolemy]

I've met quite a few Jews along the way and none of them struck me as fundamentalists or crazed loony tunes. They seemed pretty rational to me although there are obviously religious nutbags and right wingers. The problem with the Palis is their religious indoctrination from birth - and Islam is not only their religion but also political ideology. If you know what true Islam preaches and what the Sharia advocates you understand why these people are batshit CRAZY and cannot be reasoned with.

[SabuPtolemy]

Dude, stop acting/being dumb. We know Hitler because Hitler was around only 2 generations ago and his reign of terror is well documented. We don't know who Aaron Lopez because he's been dead for several centuries, was no world figure, a slave trader among many slave traders, and he wasn't documented, photographed, filmed, recorded, and written about. - If by Romani you mean Sinti - yes, I'm aware of them and what was done to them by the Nazis. Same goes for the plight of the Native Americans.

[SabuPtolemy]

"regardless of what racist say ..you aren't born jewish ..you are made jewish"

If you are BORN into a Jewish family you're obviously BORN Jewish. Stop babbling nonsense!

[bigdogsdontbark]

glad shes gone. Beck is awesome

[TheBeepBeepBeep]

At faux business there is a smelly fat negro. LOL!

[SabuPtolemy]

No, 'Paliwood' doesn't show that everything Palestinians do and say is a lie. But it's a cautionary tale that should make you realize that things are not always what they appear to be and victims are not always the victims. Palestinians have figured out how to exploit their victimhood and manipulate the gullable because they know it's an easy sell. But, it's not evil Jews vs. hapless Palis in Israel/Palestine. It's a lot more complicated than that.

[SabuPtolemy]

Well, most Jews are as white as Caucasians and in many cases you can't tell if someone is Jewish or Christian looking at them. Why are you taking issue with the term 'White Men' when white men ran the slave trade? As for Jews 'breeding' - they've always been a tiny minority on earth so their 'breeding' can't have been all that successful. Re: Jewish money/banking savvy - educate yourself on the subject and learn how/why it all started in Europe some 1000 years ago. Truth shall set you free!

[SabuPtolemy]

Am I saying Jews are all saints and the Palis are all evil? No. I wish Israel would crack down on these Zionist nuts in the West Bank and remove them. Give the Palis the WB in addition to Gaza and let's see how peaceful they are. I KNOW that Jews in Israel are defending themselves - if it was about being in attack mode they could wipe out these Hamas/Pissbollah cretins in Gaza in a flash. Y do U care what religion a slave trader was? Does the existence of Mr. Lopez validate your anti-Semitism?

[SabuPtolemy]

"Israel never turned over Gaza..."

See, when someone is stuck at that level of ignorance there is no point in even discussing the Middle East with them. You are so completely warped by Islamic propaganda it's sad.

You should do yourself a favor and watch the documentary 'Paliwood' (or 'Pallywood') on YT just so you can get a glimpse of how the Palestinian propaganda machine is manipulating part of the Western media and people like you. These people deserve Oscars!

[KendalOzzel]

GO JANE!!!

[PoliticalSkeptic]

First you'd have to take your helmet off and get a bib to stop your drooling. You completely missed the point of my post. Your response was a huge strawman of my point. Those issues you are talking about are ISSUES THEY CHOSE to speak about. Does not mean that they DO NOT every select a non issue to trump up as something big. Geeze man i charge by the hour i don't make dumb people smart for free. Send me a private message if you want to arrange a payment plan.

[SabuPtolemy]

I think you're a little too wrapped up in loony tune conspiracy theories and cloak and dagger stuff yourself.

Think about it - if Israel wanted to 'destroy everything', i.e.turn these medieval Islamo monkeys into desert dust, they'd have already done so. In fact, they turned over Gaza to the 'Palestinians' so these troglodytes would have less to bitch about - and what happens? Hezbollah and Hamas infest the place and use it to rocket Israel. Who is really out to destroy whom here?

[SabuPtolemy]

Fixed Noise: Fairy Tales & Chemically Imbalanced since 1996

[PoliticalSkeptic]

Fox IS worse. Yeah all media has some issues they probably bring to light which other medias may NOT report on. National Enquirer reports some good things that others don't report but that doesn't make them legitimate. Fox finds non issues and does what no one else does. And that's run that non issue 24/7 for weeks and weeks then attack the rest of the media for not reporting on it. Like Acorn. There are far worse than acorn which is why the rest didn't seem to care. But Fox had an agenda.

[SabuPtolemy]

Hamas is an Islamo fascist organization who uses the very people they claim to defend as human shields in Gaza because they're too cowardly to fight in the open. Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah all these other brainwashed lunatics should always be talked about because they are a true danger! Thank God none of these backward ass cunts have nuclear weapons because they'd use them without batting an eye. And you are worried about the press being too Jew dominated? You poor, poor thang you........

[PoliticalSkeptic]

They are talking about debate on the issues they CHOOSE to debate about. on issues like israel the entire western media is in the tank for what ever israel does.  But that was not the premise of her argument.

[gone2cast]

boycott israel

[EyeLean5280]

Sadly, you are right.

[Steadno]

beck is so perky with his magic mormon underpants

[frostwolf1]

Let's keep in mind that Fox News is run by Roger Ailes, former White House Aide to Richard Nixon.

How fair and balanced do you think Roger Ailes REALLY wants his company to be?

[EyeLean5280]

Excellent point.

[maskedphrogg]

tpmtv still not bothering to watch their own uploads.

Beck not even mentioned.

[EyeLean5280]

Listen again. He's mentioned at 0:37 & she goes on to say exactly what the vid title claims.

[aquamadman]

Hey bigcocksucker028blahblahblah, where was your outage about "criminals" in the bush admin.... Oh never mind, I'm sure you were out trying to get your lovers, Blech, Limburger and Handfisty to gang rape your fat ignorant deliverance loving ass!

[bigc028282]

Are you ass-uming that I believe the 2 party lie? You didn't post directly too me. Scared to debate, with facts instead of insults.

Your best is what your posted!

I suggest you read the Copenhagen "treaty" that will supersede our Declaration of Independence, and Constitution of our REPUBLIC for which it stands.

You aren't one of those seekers of socialism in this country, are you? There are many countries that don't have our Constitution that doesn't allow for it, if that's what you want.

[radudeATL]

She was there for 11 years, yet claims it was Glenn Beck who put her over-the-top.

Puh-leeze. She should have left 11 years ago.

[cosmosgato]

Sorry I have to disagree.

I'm a registered Republican and swing voter who voted for Reagan.

And Iistened to Limbaugh back in the 90s at times.

Limbaugh has changed for the worse.

Beck and Fox are on the crazy train no brakes.

[radudeATL]

I think we probably disagree less than you think...

[7jerryv7]

Thank you for taking a stand.

[tj5555555]

purge the fake intellects that are a soft sell for communist goals. glad she's gone. she should fellowship with her own kind of liberals, and then someone should sink their ship. i will not miss her underhanded remarks that would simplify at a cost of intellectual integrity any presented conservative point of view. she was nothing but an infultrator for the left. Like many of the loony left they are old now and their ugliness is beginning to show. they're way past woodstock, bury the dead. tj

[dogstar7]

The "loony left" is kicking ass all over town, buddy.

Get your ass out of your hate bunker sometime and take a good look around. Pull out your fork: You're Done!

[tj5555555]

d-7: you must admit that her flower power days are long past seed time & harvest. i am done. tj

[MrHelldogger]

They maybe kicking ass all over town but they're not making much of a splash in news channel ratings, book sales or popularity polls. What part of town are they "kicking ass" in? Oh, that part, Never mind.

[tj5555555]

M-er: i think you are addressing this comment to dogstar7, since he seems to think the left is kicking something. tj

[MrHelldogger]

Did I hit your reply buttone instead? Excuse me.

[dogstar7]

"...news channel ratings, book sales or popularity polls..."

I talking about rebuilding the economy after GOP cronies LOOTED the US Treasury...and you're talking about stocking the magazine rack at KMART

[MrHelldogger]

You're gonna rebuild the economy through socialism? Um?

[baronmorris]

tj you are a sick mofo. and way out of step. sucks to be you.

[tj5555555]

b-is: truth hurts, don't it? the only thing around here that sucks is the chest wound the left is taking in the poles. Sucking Chest Wound, breath you last, lefty. The Right is waking up. tj

[laleeloolelo]

What "pole" are you talking about?

10/18/2009:

ABC/Washington Post: (D) 51% (R) 39%.

Real Clear Politics: (D) 45% (R) 39,5%.

[maskedphrogg]

Check out the Approval ratings, hanging at about those same percentages.

Approve ~51%

Disapprove ~ 46%

No Opinion ~3%

[baronmorris]

you are full on delusional. saying it doesn't make it so. all that's left on the right is astro-turfers, racists, and complete crazies. you get to have your own opinions; you do not get to have your own facts. The left is thriving, because people want progress, they want inclusion, & they want peace. The right is dying bc it represents only divisiveness, selfishness, and hate.

That's the way it really is.

Now tell yourself some more pretty lies, & waste your time with more OCD comments.

;-)

[Kroder]

You sir are delusional.

[brucepig]

MSNBC has an obvious liberal bias and lots of liberal commentary but they are still predominantly a news service which Fox is not.

MSNBC don't smother their commentary with the claim to be "fair and balanced"

Fox openly promote and cheerlead for far right activists and they openly lie which is unique to Fox News

I have never seen such openly biased, dishonest and hysterical TV as Fox MSNBC doesn't even come close to the low rent partisan hackery at Fox

And Beck makes ORielly look moderate

[dogstar7]

Bah! "MSNBC has an obvious liberal bias..."

The FACTS have an obvious "liberal bias"

MSNBC just takes more glee in reporting them.

[KataVideo]

I like how kurtz just completely loses the story..

she admits beck was a factor in her decision to get out of dodge and he's just trying to move on to the next quesdtion. howie never takes the right wing to task.

[maskedphrogg]

haha

Beck wasn't mentioned by name.

What an odd assumption. Faux News is bad all the way around the block, no need to lie about things.

[DaeshimShisen]

Beck was clearly mentioned by name... 0:37

[maskedphrogg]

ahhh, my apologies. She does say "uncomfortable with Beck."

I kept waiting for the "Scary Beck" or "Beck is scary" or "Beck's language is scary" that slight mention just slipped right by.

I stand by my statement that Fox (faux) News is bad all the way around. It isn't just Beck, in my view Beck isn't even a substantial part of what is wrong with the way Faux News presents it's opinions in the guise of News reporting.

I just think it silly the way tpmtv exaggerates so many topics so consistently

[PoliticalSkeptic]

you are correct. Because what makes Fox bad is all the madness Beck stated was echoed by their regular news programs. Then as usual they start attacking everyone else for not covering it hoping to push them to cover their agenda for them. That is why Fox took out that Ad claiming that no one but THEM covered the Tea Party rally on washington which was a flat out lie. They were mad that the other media did not "promote" it which Rick Sanchez very clearly pointed out.

[EyeLean5280]

He's mentioned by name at 0:37

[maskedphrogg]

See my retraction above

[EyeLean5280]

Well, I'm glad I tend to be civil! Imagine how embarrassed I'd be if I'd called you an "[insert childish prefix here]-tard."

Still I am going to be picayune and ask you to listen one more time. She does call Beck's speech "scary," but the rude host is talking over her, so it's hard to hear.

And yeah. FOX is ridiculous.

[KataVideo]

eat shit, I didn't lie, YOU didn't listen very closely.

[maskedphrogg]

How is misrepresent all that different from lie?

With an ego like that how does anyone else get in the room?

btw, do you kiss your mom w/that filthy mouth?

[bigc028282]

Not scary enough. When you have as many as 5 corporations feeding you the "news" everyday, you will get nothing close to 'fair and balanced" truth. The media is the propaganda arm for the 2 party lie. It should be becoming obvious now that we have HOPE in one hand, and BUSH in the other.

The "treaty" in Copenhagen, this Dec, will supersede the Declaration of Independence. Read it for yourself. Find out how a treaty work (2 options for it).

It will be followed by a dollar collapse/new currency.

Read the Copenhagen treaty you stupid twit.

It will supersede the Declaration of Independence, and our constitution.

You inability to address my statement is exactly what I expect from an idiot. Go back to the 5 corporation owned "news". Don't read the thing, that would make to much sense.

[jumpoutatree]

Nothing in the Declaration has the force of law, so I don't know what you mean when you say that it's in jeopardy of being 'superseded'. And I guarantee that you have yourself never read the Copenhagen treaty, you stupid twit.

[bigc028282]

Are you touched? I have read the "treaty' in the form that is was made available. You should do the same. Green Peace was just one of the organizations that have made "it" available. If you find it necessary to call me a liar, I can you a f*cking retard, for not understanding the Declaration of Independence, and Constitution of the United states of America, AND TO THE REPUBLIC....

You stupid "TWIT".

[KosmicCitizen]

The equivocations between FOX and MSNBC are getting old.

Both are ideological in their basic editorial line. However, MSNBC does not LITERALLY get their talking points from the DNC, quite unlike FOX and their entirely too cozy relationship with the GOP.

Nor is it like MSNBC will never challenge the Obama Whitehouse or sitting Democrats. The only time FOX ever does this is at the bidding of party heads towards upstarts and "rogues" (ex.Ron Paul during the Republican primaries.)

[Mrcharliebobo]

MSNBC gets theirs straight from the oval office!!! you assclown!!!

[KosmicCitizen]

Nope.

[tubular87]

I don't think that's the difference between MSNBC and Fox. Fox will challenge Republicans who are not enforcing the law on illegal immigrants.

I'd say that the difference is that MSNBC is just liberally biased. Fox is flat out racist and dishonest.

Obama "has a deap-seated hatred for white people." - Beck

"Obama's baby momma" - Fox information bar (referring to Michelle Obama)
