Fox Cancels Beltway Boys
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
It's the end of the road for The Beltway Boys, Fox News Channel's Saturday evening political chat with newsmen Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke. Whispers hears that the show has run its course.
A Fox spokesman confirmed this when contacted for comment. No replacement has been named.
Theirs was a fun mix of the week's politics, a peppy version of some of the other Saturday media political reviews. They talked about "hot stories," the week's big events, and sized up personalities in the "Ups and Downs" segment.
While it's now off the air, those in the know say that Barnes and Kondracke remain hot properties within the Fox family and will stay on to discuss political issues during special broadcasts and Bret Baier's nightly Special Report.

Beltway Boys
We miss the Beltway Boys. Please bring them back.
A Big Mistake
The Beltway Boys was the best political show on TV. I arranged my Saturday schedule around being at home when it came on. The show it was replaced with is embarrassingly unwatchable. I am slowly leaving Fox News, one show at a time. What a pity. These men were mature, insightful and a pleasure to watch.
The Beltway Boys
If it ain't broke don't fix it or better yet make any changes like the stupidity of cancelling a great news show.
I sure would like to know the real reason this show was cancelled. Whatever happened fair and balanced. The idiots that cancelled this are the ones that should cancelled.
