Hannity is a piece of shit, but he actually behaves himself off camera.

Yeah. He was fired for the same thing a couple of years ago. I thought he was gone for good once that happened. Then all of a sudden he made a comeback out of no where, and just ended up getting fired again for doing the same thing as before.
The guy was pretty entertaining to watch. As other posters stated, he acted like he was drunk, if not at least buzzed, most of the time. He was mostly a moderate Democrat, akin to the likes of Bill Maher, both who heavily criticize Trump.

Bob Beckel is actually a democrat and "liberal" voice on Fox. Wonder what he said?

Not a guest, actually a black co-woker, Juan Williams.

Must be pretty blatant if Fox did it without public putcry.

Jesse Watters brings nothing at all to the table. He doesn't know anything, and his show sucks. He isn't entertaining to watch at all.
While Bob Beckel has said some stupid things in the past, at least he was mildly entertaining. Jesse Watters says dumb shit and is boring.

Or a convenient excuse to get rid of someone the new guys in charge don't like.
I know we all laughed at that article saying Ailes kids were trying to clean up Fox News. But their certainly have been a lot of firings lately. Maybe they weren't being completely disingenuous? Of course its still spewing propaganda, but maybe they are at least trying to not employee a bunch of racists and rapists.

Lol I don't know the names of any of the people, but as soon as I saw the photo of who it was, I was like "of course it was that guy"
The rumors are they are trying to shape up their image for the sky media buyout. Else the government might deny them the sale.
Jesse Watters is considered comedy to them, sadly.
Remember when Fox news tried their own Daily Show?

He's KINDA liberal but the problem is that he's like an old-school Democrat taken straight out of the 1960s. He usually has the right ideas but tends to be way too casually bigoted.
Isn't the host of that show the current host of this show?

Now imagine this. Entire life told you ain't shit. But you did the right thing. Worked hard. Studied. Got an IT job at a "reputable" company (I know, I know but on a resume it helps).
And then have some guy just assume Black folks are too stupid to fix his fucking outlook and stormfront the fuck out the office in a rage.
Because you're not what his expectations are of someone who'e competent to diagnose a corporate IT problem.
Fuck Bob Beckel.

He was too explicit. They prefer that you call other employees the N-word behind their backs and just use "thug" face-to-face.
Much like potato chips, ice cream, and a whopper people can only resist calling someone a "Nigger" for so long

Imagine what Hannity says off the air.
Fucking ridiculous. All because your IT serviceman is black? Awful.

Every once in a while I'll turn on Fox News just to see how they're spinning the insane Trump events of each day. This guy is the only one I'd hear say anything remotely halfway decent or straight forward without spin on this show. Too bad he is apparently a piece of shit also.

I knew that, but the time's I've seen him on tv in passing, it seemed like he was just as sleazy as the rest.

And Beckel was suppose to be one of the "liberal" viewpoints on Fox. Can you imagine the rest?
Except for that time he pointed a gun at cohost off air.

I mean good that they fired him, but really, where there's smoke, there's fire.
Like someone else said maybe they're trying to clean things up a little bit by getting some of these people out but it's not likely.

Well if this is true, he can choke on his next meal
The tolerant left at it again -foxnews
same thing when they have a minority on, more often than not
Keep taking that L train, Fox.
But what happens when the line shuts down?
It might be the difference between buying into an ideology whole-hog, versus just being wedded to it for financial reasons... and thus distaste can have an impact.
