Fox News guest QUITS over their ‘HEINOUS’ coverage….

Fox News’ coverage on immigration has caused a guest with over 400 appearances to drop out.

From the Hill:

Bruce Turkel, an entrepreneur and author, says he will no longer be a guest on Fox News or the Fox Business because of their coverage of President Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.

In an open letter posted on his LinkedIn page, Turkel, a regular guest on Fox Business who has also appeared on Fox News, said its “heinous” coverage of the separation of migrant families is the reason he won’t appear on the shows in the future.

“Your network has been very very good to me. The 400 plus appearances I’ve made on Fox News and Fox Business have helped me generate lots of keynote speaking appearances and helped me sell a bunch of books,” Turkel writes. “All of that being said, I also have to say I can no longer appear on the Fox network. I quit.”

And he names names:

He specifically cites Ann Coulter’s “child actors” comment and Sean Hannity’s “rolling invasion” comment on child separation as examples of poor coverage by Fox News.

“Accepting that this misguided policy is wrong doesn’t depend on which side of the political aisle you’re on,” he continued. “It doesn’t matter if you support immigration and immigrants or if you don’t. And it doesn’t matter if you believe the law — or the Bible — gives our government the right to do what they’re doing or not.”

I have to admit I have some sympathies here. I have been very disappointed with some of the rhetoric from our side about illegal immigrants – we can demand the rule of law without resorting to cruel rhetoric, and we can sympathize with those in unfortunate circumstances without advocating for open borders.  And I think some of us have demonized illegals in order to justify our rhetoric. Let’s be better than that.

Here’s the letter:
