The entire spectacle made me wonder. Why does Bob Beckel even work for Fox? What purpose does it serve to have a liberal or progressive voice on a network whose viewers could care less what he has to say or what right-wing lie he exposes?
We live in the age of hate where the right wing has trained it's followers to "believe" that the other side is evil. Just plain evil No description to dramatize the "evil" branding is too excessive. Calling someone a commie or socialist is too tame. Now it's "Islamofascist" or worse. Any progressive domestic policy is in support of the "homosexual" agenda. Hell, they even invent non-existent sections of the Constitution to use as phony footnotes to add credibility to their daily lies.
So, once again. What purpose does Bob Beckel being there serve except to get Bob Beckel a hefty pay-check as a replacement for Alan Colmes? 80% or more of regular Fox viewers are 55+ years old and believe almost any attack on Democrats, progressives, or liberals. They even participate in the lie-campaign by forwarding via email the daily lies and rants to their wacka-doodle or brain-dead friends.
I fail to see what purpose any progressive working for anything Fox serves.
