A former Fox News contributor, appearing on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, said she left the organization partly because Glenn Beck’s “scary” and “over the top” language made her uncomfortable.
“The reason I left, in part, is because I think they have less debate than they used to,” said Jane Hall, a professor at American University and a former journalist who covered the media.
“I’m also frankly uncomfortable with Beck, who I think should be called out as somebody whose language is way over the top and scary,” she added.

Hall was part of a CNN panel discussing the tensions between Fox and the White House. She opined that the White House made a strategic mistake by declaring war on Fox.
“You cannot beat Fox at their own game,” she said, “which is to be combative.”
