I watch Fox,all the time and I must be totally honest with you, Bob Beckal was extremely offensive in my opinion: I caught him many times saying things which were almost worthy of firing. His disgusting speech and physical demeanour dictated it was only a matter of time before he slipped and said something worth firing him for. I never liked this man. He was an angry man. Just my thoughts –
