I will not watch Bob Beckel .. I just automatically change the channel .. I’d rather watch paint dry.
Fox has several of these landmines who should be avoided: Bob Beckel, Bernie Goldberg, Geraldo Rivera to name just three. I can't believe there are so many people in this thread acting surprised about Fox FNC-FBC. They are not our friends ( with bare exceptions of Hannity, Dobbs, Tucker ).
DNC-TV ... CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,PBS
GOPe-TV ... Fox
If the two parties themselves set about creating their own network TV channels they would be pale imitations of the above. They already exist!
In a sane world none of them would be allowed to operate in the USA because they hold a government sanctioned monopoly position on those channels ( meaning if you or I tried to block their signal and transmit on their channels we would be prosecuted by FedGov ). Their monopoly allows them direct access, like a catheter, into the consciousness of the American psyche. From there they can create the daily news at will. It is beyond Orwellian.
The solution could be to use the same rules that prohibit airing of subliminal messaging and pornography to ban partisan politics on Television, period. Place back-breaking fines on violations and prison for repeat offenders. This would easily be self-regulating because every (D)ummy who spots (R) propaganda would report it, and vice versa.
They can operate websites and stand on soapboxes like the rest of us. This would level the playing field. But no-one should have direct unimpeded access to the mainstream of thought like they do and be able to hide behind the First Amendment to boot.
I’m in CA and I watch Fox&Friends @ 3am - and it’s totally different than the rest of the programming on FOX. If you don’t watch it, just DVR it and see what I mean.
I do like Hannity and Tucker; and I always watch Dobbs at 4 pm CA time.
And .. Rivera .. won’t watch him either.
