Oh, the media did weigh in on Bob Beckel’s repugnant comments, which we reported last night. The serial misogynist actually asked when was the last time anyone heard of a rape on a campus? Campus rape is just something mythical to the cretinous Beckel.
If a rape occurs on a college campus, and @RobertGBeckel doesn't personally hear about it, did it really happen?

He then horribly trivialized date rape, and then asked if a woman should shoot her “date.” If he was raping her. No big whoop, ladies. He’s your date!
Dear Bob Beckel: Once your date decides to rape you, I'm pretty sure it's no longer a date (maybe never was). Just sayin'. Love, The Diva

Some media outlets did report on his outrageously foul statements, but there is something fishy about the way they did so. He’s got that old (D) immunity!
@mchastain81 @Cameron_Gray @TwitchyTeam @DLoesch Beckel's got the magical D immunity shield. No consequences==> http://t.co/DTFxHX5P

So, while they were forced to call him out for his repulsiveness, they still made sure to provide Democrats cover. Beckel is just a “Fox News host,” you see. As we reported earlier, BuzzFeed pulled that stunt and tried to cover it up. Twitter libs feed into the false narrative.

GOP training. FOX host. Gee, we wonder who is helping to push that shameful spin?

Nice try with the fake call-out, but too bad Politico also hid Beckel’s political affiliation.

It’s not just the sub-header; The word Democrat is not mentioned in the post itself, either. In addition, they say Beckel did acknowledge date rape occurs, but did not mention the trivialization of it, as if it doesn’t “count” as rape.
ThinkProgress pulled the same disgraceful thing, as did The Huffington Post.

Apparently HuffPo also omits Beckel's political identification. http://t.co/jctGmVOE But @ChuckTodd tells us there is no media bias.

SHOCKING: Fox News host's unbelievable comment about rape http://t.co/YhJNzJp8
— HuffPost (@HuffPost) February 20, 2013
Huffington Post’s article doesn’t even mention Democrat at all.
Disgusting. As always, the shameful lapdog media are burying bones for Democrats. Sane Twitter users aren’t having it, and are calling out the bias. They are also rightfully giving the morally bankrupt Bob Beckel the business.
Remember when this was a thing? RT @TheRickWilson: First, Joe Salazar, now Bob Beckel. My, my the Democrats sure are rapey lately.

@thinkprogress Now how about naming Bob Beckel as the person you are referring to in your tweet? #decency @chelseagrunwald @Small_Gov_Guy

FALSE. Beckel, DEMOCRAT guest, asked that. MT @ThinkProgress Fox News host asks: "When was the last time you heard about a rape on campus?"

It's OK, it's not rape-rape. So NO problem! MT @letsjustwin1: we should all calm down with this Beckel thing until we get Whoopi’s opinion.

Many are questioning why Beckel still has a job and platform from which to spew his bile.

Fox should do the right thing and replace rape apologist Bob Beckel with Kirsten Powers.

I can't imagine any conservative getting away with 1/20th the things Bob Beckel says. Fox really needs to get rid of him.

The media will help cover it up by hiding his (D). Because, projection.

Bingo. We have said it before, and we’ll say it again. The real war on women is being waged by the Left and it always has been.
The real #WarOnWomen is being waged by slugs like @RobertGBeckel, who thinks date-rape is no big deal. http://t.co/KGehiNZr
— Bill Hobbs (@billhobbs) February 20, 2013
And the media is aiding them.
Update: Beckel faux-apologizes by stating a clarification, which henceforth should be known as a cretin clarification.
Glad to know Bob Beckel is calling "rape" "rape" "rape is rape" after yesterday's comments about date rape not really being rape

To Beckel, a date is always just a date. Even if he is raping you.
