Beck, in his recent chat with B. O., did not say that he is leaving Fox, breaking his ties with Fox. Actually, I heard quite the opposite, but possibly I dozed off for a moment.
Beck in another venue claimed that Fox handlers had gotten to impossible to work with. We got a taste of that here in Cincinnati when FOX cancelled a Hannity Appearance at a Tea Party event.
Ultimately though,the issue is that Saudi money has entered FOX, and Beck doesn't toe the line as far as they are concerned.
