Alvin S. Felzenberg 9/11 Commission Spokesman, Book Author and Professor :
December? Must we wait that long? I recommended in this space previously that Fox sack Beck the very week MSNBC fired Olbermann. That would have struck a blow for both civility and conservatism.
As the greatly missed William F. Buckley, Jr. knew too well, movements are defined by their ideological adversaries by their most extreme elements. Through his distortion of both facts and history, Beck is clearly that. Given the paucity in advertising his show generates, what is Fox waiting for? Retaining him would do as much damage to capitalism as Beck has already inflicted upon conservatism.
