Here is an excerpt of what Henry Blodget, as posted by Huffington Post, had to say about how Fox News should handle Glenn Beck for his stupid and irresponsible comments about President Obama:
It’s no surprise that advertisers are running for the hills after Glenn Beck’s idiotic remarks about President Obama. Fox should now take the appropriate step and fire him.
It’s one thing to attack a president’s policies. It’s another to brand the president a racist and say that his decisions are motivated by a secret loathing of more than half the country:
This president has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people … this guy is, I believe, a racist.This is the sort of rhetoric and attitude you might expect at a bigoted religious revival or KKK meeting. It’s not the rhetoric or attitude you expect from the host of a talk show broadcast by one of the world’s largest media companies.
I don’t know that I would necessarily say Beck should be fired, but his dangerous rhetoric has to be brought under some kind of control. It’s obvious that Fox News leans heavily to the right (politically speaking), but there has to be some standards of journalistic integrity adhered to on the network conservatives trust.
