Hosts Worried Hiring Allen West May Damage Fox News’ Credibility

NEW YORK — Fox News hosts today openly lamented the network’s hiring of one-term Congressman and tea party favorite Allen West to be an on-air contributor, expressing concerns that it endangered the network’s reputation as a source for “fair and balanced” news and information.

“Quite frankly, I don’t see how this does anything but allow people to question our integrity,” said Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “He’s not a serious journalist. He’s not even a pundit. He wasn’t even a successful congressman. This is a man who said that liberal women ‘have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness … we are not going to have our men become subservient … then the debt will continue to grow … deficits will continue to grow.’ What the Hell does that even mean?”

Fox News host Sean Hannity agreed, saying, “The guy’s a quack. He once called for censoring American news agencies. Maybe if he’d left it at MSNBC and CNN, he’d have a point, but he lumped us in there as well, and that’s just nuts.”

“Here at Fox News, we have a journalistic standard to uphold,” explained former FOX & Friends anchor Gretchen Carlson. “We have to remain impartial so as to remain relevant and trustworthy. West is a total right-wing nut case. Here’s a man who said, ‘I’m very concerned about this very divisive rhetoric the president is using when he continues to talk about ‘equality’ and ‘fairness,’ and this thing that I think is really contrary to the principles that I mentioned, as far as life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.‘ You just can’t spin that as anything other than bat-shit insane.”

Regardless, Fox News President Roger Ailes defended the move. “Allen West is a voice of the people, insofar as the people are a bunch of raving lunatics lost in conspiracies of their own creation. Since that’s a good share of our demographic, I see this as a no-brainer,” he said.

Former Fox host Glenn Beck was saddened at the news of West’s hiring. “Oh, how the mighty have fallen,” he crooned. “To hire a man who, while a sitting congressman, claimed to know that 80 members of the Democratic House Caucus were communists without having the stones to name them represents a new low for my old network. How can anyone take him seriously, with all the conspiracies he spews out and the way almost everything he says is a factual lie? I weep for Fox. I truly do. That man is clinically insane.”

      Hey sheenan , not sure how even your pea-brain would call my post off topic, but then again the assumption is 22% of libs can think for themselves. Perhaps your in the 78% ( do the math ) .

      At some point you should either take down the Sharpton poster or surprise him at the studio and propose on air.

      It’s funny, although not in a humorous way, that liberals find value in the “Reverend Al Sharpton” who uses cue cards containing mostly pictures with a few single syllable words intermixed – – – -while someone like the Honorable Allen West is given the “Uncle Tom ” treatment by stunted leftist hobgobblers such as yourself.

      Highlighting your own intellectual deficits is something most intelligent people avoid . . . but clearly liberals in the 78% (say “heenan” here) seem to insist on it.

    West was facing a court marshal and possibly 11 years in prison. It was wither that or he leave the military. Even knowing that… the idiots still elected him to congress. No one expected to last more than one term. Fox is proof positive that if you are a bottom of the barrel ass crack wing nut, Fox can be a home for you, at least for awhile. Lets face it, if Sarah Palin can get a job there, anyone can. All you have to do is feed the (((vegetable base))) their audience, the psychodrama red meat they want to hear, and keep the lemmings attention long enough to vote, and you have done your job. Hannity is proof of that. Yes I know (((Newslow))) is parity…but this sounds to close to what Fox might do.

    Well this is funny. They have a journalistic standard to uphold? So they’re admitting that they could go even lower than they already have? I think they should hire Allen West. He fits in perfectly with Hannity, the falafil guy, and the freaky blonde chic. He’d even fill the giant hole of wackiness left behind by Glenn Beck. Fox just gets more and more bizarre.

    Fair and balanced! ROTFFLMFAO! Hysterically! Allen West does bring a certain flair to Faux Non News. He’s a traitor. He refused an order by the President of the United States during wartime. He SHOULD have been shot. So instead, he fired his weapon next to the ear of a prisoner causing deafness in that ear. That’s against the Geneva Convention, which we DO subscribe to as a nation. That makes him a war criminal. He should have been tried for it. And yes, I’m sure O’Reilly and Hannity want him gone. Why take stupid to a new level?

    I think Roger Ailes is making a GREAT move!
    We have an Uncle Tom in the Supreme Court and now Fox simply would like to have an Uncle Tom in their newsroom.

    Look, we need all the help we can get in the 2014 elections. Having this crazy ass, shuck and jiving, self loathing, Uncle Tom pontificating endlessly and insanely about his Area 51 conspiracy theories and cold war wet dreams from within the Fox newsroom is just what we need to urinate all over Fox’s credibility as they attempt to throw their support behind some dim witted conservative sociopath, they call a candidate.
