Indeed, I agree with you. His observations on ISIS were something you had to do a double take on. After watching Fox for years I came to the belief it is a much propaganda as any other "network" It seems they are all set to just pit the masses at each other, while the real work of Empire goes on behind the scenes. For all the reports on a lot of news programs of the things done in the last 20 years, none of the political criminals have gone to jail, just prospered more. The fact Hillary and Pelosi are still not in custody is pretty definitive...

Yuck...gag...yech...

The scary thing is "Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will be on in a rotating basis" which is like canned and tuna showing up, I thought Juan may have woke up after the debacle at PBS but he apparently thinks that the "throw them under the bus" philosophy the liberal media seems to use was just a fluke. As far as Hannity goes, he has been turned off my box for the last 3 or 4 years, his screaming "right is right" no matter what is annoying. Sometimes there is a glimmer of logic and truth, but rarely. O'Rielly at least seems to have some sense of right and wrong, and also seems to actually understand the looting government idea. Although I bet it is because he gets looted a lot. I do agree with you that Megyn seems the most level headed fact oriented one they have, But overall I find Fox is as slanted and concerned with only their own special interests vs the Communist News Network. Not a huge difference in find what is real. Although they do keep raising the red flag on Hillary, which can only be described as a good thing. Be careful with the fish thing, all those possibilites are valid, and I am sure you will run afoul of someone wanting you to pay the Fish Transfer Tax, and the Fish Conservation Fee, and support the Bait Renewal Act (worms can get a tax credit if the wiggle enough).

How one could staunchly defend a lie, without question. Perhaps once a liberal decides 'Not to Be' they lose their subconscious voice!? I now understand why William S. posed that question...it goes way beyond the story.

Maybe now that fox isn't paying Bob to be "the liberal" he can think outside the liberal box and come over to "the dark side." Maybe now that he won't be being paid to spout stupid things he won't need to abuse mind altering substances to be able to live with himself. Best of success, Bob, in beating these two demons.

I don't think this is the place for that debate. Has AA helped some people, yes …. has it harmed many people yes …. is it THE solution , no way in hell …. Personal responsibility has helped more people than AA and the “success” rate is ludicrous … the slogan “if you work it, it works” is infantile .. If you decide to deal with the problem and take personal responsibility IT WORKS as well.

I am going to miss Bob. I never agreed with him but he was Ok to laugh at. The subs they have in his place, in particular Julie ( last name forgotten) make me want to gag.

Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Geraldo Rivera, James Carville, Colmes, Richard Fowler, Tamara Holder, Sally Kohn, Kirsten Powers, Dennis Kucinich, Lanny Davis, are all great contributors to FOX News. They actually help me understand why I’m really on the right side of politics from them. They usually have no real facts, some say the stupidest things, some just raise their eyebrows, some just raise their voice and try to filibuster the conversation. Kirsten Powers seems now to be one that might be starting to see some light. Her new book will rise her up on the right, and demean her and they will try to destroy her on the left. The most repulsive, in my opinion, are Richard Fowler, and I hate to make stupid implications to describe someone like the left typically does, but I cannot remember his name, or even find an image of him on the internet without his name, he’s the one that looks like an albino, white hair, and really creepy weird eyes. The two of them just make my skin crawl when they come on. Both try to bolster the conversation by talking over their host and getting louder to drown anyone else out. No matter what is said they are always 100% on the other side. You can just see the wheels turning in their head when they have to listen to someone else speak. Whatever happened to Tripping Joe Trippi? Oh, I just remembered the name, Ellis Henican, he’s the albino with the big mouth. Just looking at his demeanor makes me feel like he’s just a real nasty person. I now get the same impression just looking at Hillary. President Obama doesn’t strike me as nasty at all, just inexperienced and totally arrogant.

I think FOX has really got it all together. Sure there is a lot of reinforcement of what I believe, but most of the reinforcement actually comes from the liberals that FOX puts on the air. Without them, what would I have to measure against. What other news media can say they present both sides, or even allow a dissenting view to be expressed? How many conservatives that have actually been on any liberal news station can anyone name? I’d venture to say not even one tenth of those that Fair and Balanced FOX has. If Kirsten’s book is read by the other side, FOX’s audience share will again go up, which could result in some more conversions.

One move I would love FOX to make is to hire Sharyl Attkisson. She has proven her integrity in reporting, but I’d bet that even FOX is probably not her ultimate desire. Perhaps FOX could trade Hannity for her. I can’t even watch him anymore, his show is getting boring, filled mostly with points counted on his fingers and just a bunch of the same old rhetoric on the right. His show is almost like the opposite of any show on the left stations. He is not advancing the right, just enhancing the frustration. Or perhaps Greta could be traded, her babbling is starting to get to me too. The other day she asked where the two escapes got their food. My immediate reaction was “Who cares, maybe they went into a market and stole some. Now, Megyn Kelly, her show I find enlightening, and lightening when she smiles and you can see that “I can’t believe it” in her expression. You can make up your own mind watching her show, she doesn’t have to tell you how to feel. I can actually watch it and go away feeling okay.

Due to my feelings, I weening myself off of FOX. I only partially watch about an hour a day, if that anymore. I’ve got a democrat’s view about politics now, I know everything I need to know, there is nothing that can make me see anything differently, and nothing can change my mind in any way, period. So why waste the little time I have left on observing it. I’m going to go out and get a fishing license today. It should be free at my age, but WA is a democratic state so I’ll just have to buy it. I guess I’ll have to get the permit to park my Corvette on the land at the river where I want to fish. I wonder if there is some sort of fish transport license I might need to transport a fish home. Maybe I’ll read the regulations before I get a fishing license. I’ve already got “The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass”, mine is a “Seniors Pass”. And I already have the “Washington State Parks and Recreational Commission - Disabled Veterans Lifetime Pass”. I sure hope it doesn’t expire before I catch some fish.

I may have disagreed w/ Bob's views almost all of the time, but he was good for The Five, and he made the show better than it would have been without his presence. Perhaps some of FOX News' foreign investors didn't appreciate his pov. I can only wish him well, and fast healing.

Let's not stoop to name calling here. Calling Geraldo an attorney is a smear.

I liked the old curmudgeon. I think Fox has made a big mistake. I can only think of one time I agreed with him, but at least he was sincere and not phony.

Fear not, Beckel may be gone. But Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will certainly pickup the left's illogical reasoning. But probably not with as much Gusto as Bob.
