For OpEdNews: Brent Budowsky - Writer Fox News should fire Glenn Beck for saying that the president of the
United States is a racist and for saying that the president of the
United States hates white people. This is rhetoric that should be
associated with the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party, not with
a major television network using the public airwaves for private profit. Beck has a right to say this and Fox has a right to put him on air.
The First Amendment protects sick and demented speech as well as wise
and noble speech. The degeneration of political discourse in America
has sunk to such levels that pure hatred of the president and pure
race-baiting in our media and politics have become increasingly
commonplace. Fox should make the minimal decision to not profit from this hate
speech, especially in a time slot that is associated with news and
likely to be viewed by children. To say the president hates white
people is sick, vile, demented and more worthy of the rhetoric of a
Nazi bund meeting than the public airwaves, which should not be used to
profit from hate.
