Alan Combes and Bob Bechel have been on Fox News Channel for a long time; Bechel was talking about some show he did with Tony Snow a long time ago.

I can call Combes and Bechel a lot of things, but fair and balanced just don't make the list.

They said the show was ironically called “Off The Record” and it was on the Fox broadcast network.

Rush was also a frequent guest on the show apparently.

VP Cheney is clearly a fan of Tony and is speaking very highly of him and his skill as a press secretary and as a man of principle. It is a nice interview, Chris Wallace is doing a good job and it is clear that the VEEP is enjoying paying public tribute to Tony.

Tony had a radio show with Beckel, prior to Fox news days.
He also did college circuit ‘debates’ with Helen Thomas. THAT takes a strong character, willing to see some good in absolutely everyone.

Good point, that! Bechel should never been allowed back after that whore thing. Modern society has lost the value of shame.

I mute both as soon as they open their mouth.

How much though of Beckel and Colmes is done for media affect. Colmes in particular I often think disagrees with Hannity just for the sake of it because then a couple of days later he will make some other remark that makes you think if you think that why did you disagree the other evening and get into a “fight”. Me thinks often the producer wants it. The same goes I think for Juan on the Sunday show, listen to him on other shows during the week and it is much more a balanced personality than you get on Sunday. The producer IMHO knows that many of us enjoy the Brit slap downs and probably insists on one every couple of weeks.

I am not sure you understand the concept of F&B.

Those two libs are the balance to the more conservative folks on Fox. E.g., Hannity, Brit, Krauthamer, and others.

Agreed, but Bechel is personable and funny!

I never connected the dots before that Bob Beckel’s brother was actor Graham Beckel, whom I remember as law student Ford, in the 1973 original “The Paper Chase”
