Beckel: Network Anchors Overwhelmingly Democrat, But 'Doesn't Make Difference At All'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Player, please . . . Liberal pundit Bob Beckel has admitted that the pool of network anchors is "overwhelmingly Democrat," but somehow argues that "it doesn't make a difference at all." Righhht.

Beckel appeared on this evening's O'Reilly Factor after host Bill had documented chapter and verse that every leading network anchor with the possible exception of Scott Pelley is a confirmed liberal or Democrat. But Beckel refused to admit the undeniable--that this affects the nature of their coverage. "I don't think it matters. I don't think it sends the news one way or another." This despite also admitting that if the tables were turned and virtually all the anchors were Republican, he'd be complaining about it "all the time."

Does Bob Beckel care about his credibility? Apparently not. Ping to Today show list.

My only wish is to have the same drugs these people inside the beltway have since they clearly live in a different world then those of out outside.

Sounds like a mission for Pliskin.

Maybe President Romney will BAN ALL DEMOCRAT Reporters from the White House to help prove Beckels Point.

Beckel never has anything sensible to say so why would anyone expect anything but gibberish out of the moron?

Wasn't there a song a few years ago about selling 'Waterfront Property in Arizona'? SAME-SAME.

Beckel runs his fat mouth like Colmes and Juan Williams, three of a kind.
