Former Fox Contributor Left Network Partially Because of Glenn Beck (Jane Hall)

Former Fox News contributor Jane Hall said Sunday that one of the reasons she left the cable network was because she was uncomfortable with host Glenn Beck who she believes "should be called out as somebody whose language is way over the top and scary."

Fox watchers know Hall as one of the regular liberal panelists on Saturday's "Fox News Watch" as well a frequent guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" where she was typically paired opposite former CBSer Bernard Goldberg.

Whatever happened to Rita Cosby? (and all her sources)

[DontTreadOnMe2009]

Maybe she can join his very scary, domestic, well funded army ...

[dagogo redux]

Jane who?

[native texan]

Well, good for her! I didn’t enjoy listening to her anyway.

[penowa]

Gee, I didn't even notice that she was gone.

I hadn't noticed either, but I don't watch the lousy show she appeared on - whatever it's called. It's a good start that she's gone, but it's a shame that Beck is unable to "scare" some of the even more dense illogical fools that Fox employs into departing along with her.

She was so boring and predictable with answers—straight out of uber Liberal academia.

Liberal academia = "Academia Nuts"

He does the “Barack and a Hard Place” segment with O’Reilly once a week, opposite his very lovely sister-in-law, the brilliant Doctor Monica Crowley.

There...fixed it...

[FDNYRHEROES]

You know someone is doing the right things when they are irritating many people.

In other words, if you're receiving flak, you must be over the target...

She will be needing to practice the line “Do you want fries with that” for her next gig.

Jobs in ‘journalism’ are getting few and far between.

I watched it and don’t remember him saying that “they will kill anyone who gets in their way”.

D.L.T.D.H.Y.A.O.T.W.O!

Another scalp for Beck.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Hmmmm.

THAT's odd!!

At least I did not notice anything weird about Glen Beck! ;-)

This dame must be confused....

[AmericanInTokyo]

Looks like an Obama appointee. I can see the West Wing blue badge around it’s neck already.

[sport]

Good riddance. She could have taked Geraldo Riveria with her as a gesture of good will.

thanks once more Glenn

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..Exit question: Might Beck really have entered into Hall's decision to leave Fox, or is that just a convenient excuse that will likely get Hall a lot of favorable press from media members who don't like him?.."

This is the likely reason she left.

[ntnychik]

Hey, what’s going on in Washington is scary, and Glenn has the courage to tell us about it. I believe that’s what news is. I can’t imagine how the rest of the press can’t see we’re swirling toward the bottom of the drain.

[Sans-Culotte]

Well, you missed it or have a faulty memory or were on a bathroom break. I had no problem with the Capone analogy, or Beck using words like “whacked” with his phony mobster accent. But the hyperbolic use of the word “kill” was over the top for those of use who noticed it.

[Surtur]

Glenn Beck rocks! Jane Hall IS smart as a rock.

There, fixed it 4 ya.
