Fox News Senior VP: Beck calling Obama a "racist" are "his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel"

Bill Shine would not have issued that statement if FOX was not getting some blowback from Glen Beck's ignorant remarks. Regardless how right wing FOX may be they still need revenue from advertisers who sell their goods and services to Democrats and Republicans alike. I knew Beck would cross the line. But he will call attention to this because it gives more attention to...well, Glen Beck. Now watch Beck play the victim.

This will give the rest of the lower-level TalkHosts the green light to call everyone of color that is a threat to them a racist.
But at least it happen on Fox by one of thier paid employees.
Now the words has to get out that Beck said the President is a racist. The loonies will praise him for his display of TRUTH. But they make up a very small voting block.

Now, the advertisers should sit up and take notice..because if the Dems decide to fight back, the money will lead the way. And Fox likes money.

What Mr. Shine does not understand is it might not be the views of the Fox News but Fox News is giving him the access to the public to spew his ignorant, vile and unfounded opinions. Fox News gave him the freedom to express his opinions and they can say we do not want close-minded hateful speech on our channel.
I love Mr. Beck has the right to say whatever he wants and Fox News has the right to endorse it by running it. I also love that people can speak up against. People should tell companies if they keep on advertizing on Fox News we will not buy your products and services. If enough people show their disdain for Mr. Beck’s lunacy Fox News get his drivel off the air. I hope if they do they scream at him in a high pitch “Get off my airwaves, get off my airwaves, get off my airwaves.”

I don't think he knows sh*t from Shine-ola.

Uh oh, looks like Beck blew it. He clearly doesn't have the same kind of upper management support as Dobbs does.

I never see MSNBC say anything about their commentators.
I commend fox for separating the two. There is always a double standard when things like this are said.

This is cover to be used later if President Obama is shot and the shooter is found to have one of Becks books in his home.

Why the statement from management this time? Here is my take on the logic. This time Beck set up the RIGHTEOUSNESS of a racially motivated assassination of the President. Beck explicitly said Obama is an anti-White racist and therefore the government is de facto anti-White. Therefore the elimination of the racial threat in the person of Obama would not be a racial thing as such, but rather a patriotic thing. The idea that Obama was racist FIRST, gets planted in the minds of the Joe the Shooters in Fox World thus allowing these potential assassins to use this propaganda to rationalize the act as essentially patriotic and defensive.

And after the assassination (or attempt) people will be scouring the tapes and come up with this one. But Murdoch & company can truthfully point out that they issued an immediate public statement distancing themselves from Becks views. Murdoch is of the British Empire. This is not that big of a deal to him. By rights the Queen of England should step in here before it happens. He would listen to her.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Beck received a massive dose of the hard-nosed capitalism he loves so much and got canned?

I guess Beck's paycheck is made up of his own funds and not those of Fox News?

Glenn Beck is the one with the racist attitude. Is he man enough to admit that he might have spoken a little to quick on the subject? I never listen to Fox-News and he is the reason why. Glenn Beck you are and act like what you sit on!!

Does anyone know where I can find a list of advertisers supporting Beck, Limbaugh and others like them? I'm ready to actively boycott any companies that give money to these "people." Are there organizations that are already doing this? Thanks Mediamatters for listening to them so I don't have to.
