This morning on Fox and Friends, Glenn Beck said he thinks Pres. Barack Obama has “a deep-seeded hatred for white people.” Brian Kilmeade questioned him on it, but Beck persisted: “I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people, I’m saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

This afternoon, Bill Shine, SVP of Programming told TVNewser, “During Fox & Friends this morning, Glenn Beck expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions.”
