Media Fox News Host Accidentally Cusses on the Air
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Please note that I think it's crazy that swearing on television is such a big [fucking] deal. The way everyone tiptoes around swearing in a professional context is [goddamned] ridiculous—especially in the media, where it's somehow okay to spell the entire f*ck*ng word out with an asterisk in place of the vowels when any [goddamned] 8-year-old knows what the [fucking] word is, anyway.
That said, I think it's [fucking] hilarious when a [piece of shit] Fox "news"-caster slips up, because you know Fox viewers must be even more Puritanical about swearing than the average audience:
In the big baby's defense, the little baby was punching him in the arm pretty hard, and mom didn't threaten to pull the car over or nothin'.

Free speech isn't approved speech. It's another reason why cable is taking a beating by the internet.

Every clip I've seen of Beckel looks like he's downed a pony of Scotch and a glass of Mylanta before going on air, to no good effect in either case.
7
"You do that one more time, and you're fucking toast." That's the first good thing I've ever seen on Fox News. On the other hand, I don't see fat boy backing it up. Typical, right-wing fake tough guy shit.

Paul - Beckel is, despite being a huge blowhard and a Fox News commentator, a Democrat. He was campaign manager for perhaps the least successful Presidential campaigns in history, Mondale-Ferraro '84.

Paul is such an ignorant fucking moron.
Beckel is not a newscaster.
He is a liberal commentator.
and a pretty nice guy.....

@8-10 - Fox does not have liberal commentators, it has weakling punching bags. Colmes and this guy for starters.
12
@10 yeah, and Bryan Williams, Wolf Blitzer, Diane Sawyer, Matt Lauer et al are maybe pretty nice people too. Still doesn't stop me from calling them pieces of shit. I have to flaunt my Supremacist opinions somehow?
15
Hey, at least we're making progress. The other day I was watching a movie on TV and they bleeped "Fucking" with "Damned."
16
Regardless of their personal politics, what kind of adult reaches over and punches the person they're debating?
18
words such as fuck SOIL the minds of our youth..making them more prone to drug use and homosexual conduct.
20
@11, @8-10 didn't say he was a "liberal." He pointed out that he's a Democrat. Two different animals, entirely.
21
I didn't watch the clip; who cares? But look at the scroll at the bottom: "Democrats blast Paul Ryan for wanting to end Medicare & privatize Soc. Sec." That's the most honest reporting Fox has done in years, right there.
