Watch: FOXNews Cuts Off Bob Beckels Mic for Defending Pres. Obama on ISIS
September 30, 2014 7:36 pm by: Occupy Democrats
SPREAD THE WORD!
FOXNews suddenly cut off the sound during a heated argument on The Five Tuesday about Pres. Obamas counterterrorism efforts.
Liberal co-host Bob Beckel found himself in a tense one on four battle against the other Five hosts, who absurdly argued that President Obama prioritizes political correctness over the safety of Americans when it comes to fighting ISIS.
Beckel grew visibly frustrated with all of the foolish drivel his colleagues were spewing, and at one point buried his head in his hands.
But Beckel snapped when Dana Perino claimed Pres. Obama was intentionally making the nation less safe.
That is an unbelievable comment! I dont Beckel began before the audio suddenly cut out.
Whatever Beckel said, FOXNews clearly didnt want their viewers to hear it.

(65,616 posts)NPR WAS a great channel for liberals...so was PBS at one time. We have to STOP the GOP from buying up all the media!
But for some reason we don't want a network just for liberals. So absurd.

Try getting the cable TV services to carry it out into the masses. Most locations might get BBC America/BBC America HD in various "package" cluster of channels that most subscribers will be able to find it regularly, but how many get Al Jazeera or got the old Current TV? Maybe the big cities, or an area that is reliably "blue", but you aren't going to find the more "controversial" stations that don't bring in a big profit on most TV services. You'll see the DIY channel provided in HD before you'll find Al Jazeera povided deep in the 3000 level cannel jungles...
See, you need more than one or two wealthy doners to get a network on the air on a national market. You need reliable deep-pocket advertisers and investors willing to sit it out for a couple years with you while you get viewership, or you need the network owners - Viacom, NewsCorp, Disney, Universal, ComCast, et all to agree to add you to their "stable of products". Since MSNBC is considered "the liberal voice" when it comes to news, good luck in trying to convice them that a channel that is as "left" as Faux is "right" is a necessity. It's all about the infotainment, and the selling of perpetual venal indignation where the viewer doesn't actually have to do anything is a real moneymaker. Just enough poutrage to feed the adreniline centers, but not enough that it would actually get the viewers off the couch to do something that actually matters or maybe even get them to think further than the next commercial break.
The Plutocracy components that is in charge of media concerns cannot allow legitimate competition to their moneymakers, especially not those that might upset the balance of the status quo.
Sorry to be cynical, but this is the USA, not Canada, or Europe - or even Hong Kong...
Liberals aren't going to be able to "buy" a network for news. All the really big money in this country now is based on Finance and Investments , i.e. Neo-Liberalism and Free Marketeering. "Capital without the messiness of Labor". Corporations are People, my friend.
Why would "People" like that care about the future interests of those they prey upon? Best give the consumer class pablum they can easily swallow to fatten them up and get them to keep spending. After all, there's always more consumers where they came from; if a few die off or fall off the grid, there's more to take their place every day.

(53,661 posts)Typical technique used by billionaire owned MSM, pitting one dissenter against five, more of less, conseratives to give the appearance that theirs is the only majority and sane view on the air.
After they finish beating up one who is dissenting, they jump the shark and cut off their mic.
As they were going to say something so egregious or dishonest, on a station that has made its owners happy with lying, that it MUST BE STOPPED RIGHT NOW!
This is corporate censoring for the millions who believe this cult and will vote accordingly. Don't count on anyone viewing Fox becoming outraged about it, either.
They will be voting in November. Will we?
