A FOX News regular quits because of harshly dishonest news coverage on FOX News.Fox News Regular Bruce Turkel Quits Over Immigration Coverage
The network’s immigration reporting is “too heinous for me to accept,”
said the advertising executive who was a frequent Fox guest.
Bruce Turkel, an author and branding executive, announced on Wednesday that he will no longer be appearing on Fox News because of the network’s coverage of immigration.
Bruce Turkel, a Miami advertising executive who had been a frequent guest on Fox News, said in a sharply worded letter
Wednesday that he will no longer appear on the network because of its coverage of immigration.
“Quite simply, the position Fox has taken on our government’s policy of separating children from their parents is too heinous for me to accept,”
Turkel wrote in an open letter to Fox News.
Turkel, an author and branding expert who has appeared on a number of networks over the years, singled out Fox hosts
Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity for remarks on the children affected by President Donald Trump’s family-separation policy.
Coulter claimed children seen crying in videos at detention centers were merely “child actors” who were given scripts.
Hannity, according to Turkel’s letter, said they were part of a “rolling invasion.”
Another Fox contributor said the children were better off alone in the centers’ cages than with their parents.
Laura Ingraham downplayed the detention center cages as “summer camps” or “boarding schools.”
“Accepting that this misguided policy is wrong doesn’t depend on which side of the political aisle you’re on.
It doesn’t matter if you support immigration and immigrants or if you don’t,” Turkel wrote.
“Separating innocent children from their parents and jailing them is just plain wrong.”
A Fox News spokesperson declined to comment on Turkel’s letter.
Turkel’s appearances on Fox were unpaid. He said in his letter that his relationship with the network generated speaking fees, book sales and appearances on other TV networks.
Turkel said he’s disagreed with Fox News coverage of other issues, and this isn’t the first time he’s “suffered a sleepless night wondering how I could continue to appear on your shows.”
What’s different now, he said, is his belief that there is no gray area in the Trump policy being supported by Fox.
“Separating children from their parents is wrong no matter who you are,” he concluded. “I quit.”

The blogs here are a very good mirror for who and what you are as a person. You may not realize it but your soul is being exposed when you come here. Most members are appaled at this action while others think this is perfectly acceptable behaviour. Many give lame excuses for their lack of caring. They claim that the crying children are paid actors or perhaps they are somehow better off in cages. Some even blame the parents for our lack of compassion. Whatever your position on the subject, just remember that the real you is coming through. You might not like what others see.
G - Very true. But, we should be thankful for their disgusting behavior on here. It serves as a beacon to all, that person has mental issues. It makes sifting out of consideration for all especially easy.
If people could and would put themselves in another's situation. Would they still think the same. I highly doubt it.
But it did bring a smile to my face that this man has a conscience, that he has principals. That there is hope whilst people like this exist.
Are you both James?!
Studs Turkel.
