Bob Beckel breaks confidentiality agreement, says Fox News termination was a set-up, threatens action
July 22, 2019 | Frieda Powers
Bob Beckel says his departure from Fox News wasn’t all it appeared to be.
The former Fox News contributor claimed over the weekend that his termination from Fox News in 2017 was actually orchestrated to get him out rather than the result of an insensitive remark he had allegedly made.
Beckel spoke about his firing on “The Weekend Report†on St. Louis-based KFTK 97.1 FM Saturday, acknowledging that he was violating his confidentiality agreement in doing so even though he had told producers ahead that he wouldn’t be able to answer questions about his termination due to legal reasons.
“I figured he wouldn’t be able to talk about it, you know,†TWR host Tony Colombo told The Daily Caller.
“And that’s what he told my producer, that for legal reasons he couldn’t say anything. But then just as we were wrapping up the show, I was saying thanks for coming on, and he said, ‘Can I just say one more thing?’ And then he said he knew he wasn’t allowed to talk about it but he didn’t care anymore,†Columbo explained.
