Fox News Drifting Leftward?
American Thinker ^ | 1-26-2012 | James Simpson

Posted on 01/26/2012 6:46:46 AM PST by servo1969

Cliff Kincaid at America's Survival has launched a call for Fox News to bring back Glenn Beck.

This announcement comes on the heels of troubling revelations about Beck's firing and other disturbing trends at Fox. It quickly got front-page coverage at the Huffington Post, presumably to launch a campaign of ridicule and smears before Kincaid's idea builds momentum. No matter how much they sneer, the left is terrified of Beck.

Beck's firing was the work of George Soros, Kincaid has revealed. Soros funded Color of Change, the organization founded by Van Jones that launched a boycott against Fox after Beck (really Trevor Loudon) outed Jones as a communist. But Soros is also behind the groups Jewish Funds for Justice and Media Matters, both of which attacked Beck as an anti-Semite for his reporting about Soros' activities during WWII. Soros admitted in a 1998 CBS 60 Minutes interview that as a teenager in Hungary, he had participated in the confiscation of Jewish properties but felt no guilt about it.

I haven't been liking Glenn Beck as much as I used to. He seems to have gone over the edge here lately.

But then again, maybe he was pushed?

FOX has never been Conservative in an absolute sense. Any “news” org. who keeps Jerry Rivers on staff is highly suspect.

Um... Since when was Beck “fired”?

He left to start his own business... and he is making 10 times more money

I am not in agreement with him on Romney or Gingrich, but he is still doing great work- no one would have known about Soros if not for him.

Beck, while he still is on the mark on a lot of issues seems to have stepped partly into an alternate universe. Fox, on the other hand, may be leaning a bit more left but that I think is partly perception because they are on their knees daily supporting mitt the twit.

Beck needed to be fired, and fired he was. He is increasingly breaking with reality. I think he might be dangerous.

Beck is a fraud.

Always has been, always will be.

A Morning-Zoo huckster.

Not just that, where is the daily coverage of Fast and Furious?

They have been drifting left for a while, but the evidence is in what isn't said, not in what is.

Why Glenn Beck? In Southern California, he’s the only voice available for conservatives in the morning—either on KRLA at 870 kilocycles or XM satellite radio. His shows are now pretty much infomercials against Newt Gingrich, so I’ve been listening mostly to music.

I cancelled GBTV a while back, and I’m glad I did. Beck spends all his time trying to destroy Newt. Yesterday he and Ann Coulter were discussing the Newt supporters who cheer for him at the debates and chant “USA”. They both agreed that those people were a mob, straight out of her book, Demonic.

And as for Hannity, I think he’s a shallow, self-important little dullard. He showed his true colors to me the night he interviewed Rick Perry and was inexcusably rude to him.

They were never that far to the right to begin with.

We can’t possibly know what goes on behind the scenes.

I think FOX has been drifting leftward for years. Before President Obama was elected, I remember the panel on Special Report saying that he attended Reverend Wright’s church twice a week for twenty years but of course did not believe the (hate-filled) words coming out of Reverend Wright’s mouth. President Obama has also favored the Muslim people in so many ways. When asked if Barack Obama was a Muslim, the people on the panel said that some people will believe anything. Some people will watch anything too. For me, FOX is now a channel I used to watch.

Fox, Coulter, Beck et al are drinking the Flavor Aid in greater quantities these days.

You can tell how far left they have moved, when one of the least leftist shows is The O’Reilly Factor.

Actually, who cares? The REAL mystery is why MGM “closed” the Stargate franchise just as a new movie was in pre-production.
