Craziness Under Fire: Fox drops Glenn Beck

[_moksha]

See the interview with Jon Stewart on the Comedy channell

There are so many interviews there. Anything more specific or even a link?

I googled and found that he had said that many of the Libyan rebels are Al Quaida. Interesting thing is, that has now been confirmed. So why does the media seem to enjoy making it look as though he is delusional when what he says is quite true -- no matter how unpopular the news is to O Bomb ya and the rest of the war hawks?

Glenn beck says Libyan rebels are Al Quaida and is confirmed.

- "This president I think has exposed himself over and over again as a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture....I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."

Glenn Beck expressing opinion that may or may not prove to be true in the future.

Decide for yourself.

- "The only [Katrina victims] we're seeing on television are the scumbags."

Again Glenn expresses opinion.

- "When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh shut up' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining." (Note: This one is especially idiotic considering his constant complaining and his exploitation of 9/11 to do his 9/12 BS)

Here is the full quote in context

Unless you live in New York you probably were not exposed to as much of this as the rest of the country.

- "Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution."

This is your only quote that even comes close to the Libyan quote and is still open for debate.

This was easy to find, by the way. Start to type in a google search "idiotic gle" and it will suggest for you "idiotic glenn beck quotes" as your first choice. That should tell you something right there.

Type in a google search "Obama is a" and it will suggest lots of interesting suggestions. Doesn't make them true...

Love him or hate him, Glenn is a sensationalizing personality and there is no doubt that he has raised awareness of many of the things that are affecting this country today. Raising this awareness at least gets people to research for themselves the issues so they can make up their own minds about them.

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

[_sock puppet]

Glenn Beck is an idiot.

Probably the most truthful sentence ever written in the English language.

[_Some Schmo]

Obama is either a racist or not. The only Katrina victims on TV are either scumbags or not. These are not opinions. To claim these things on a media show as though they are fact shows the person to be idiotic and delusional, which is all I was trying to do.

And it's one thing to "raise awareness." It's something completely different to "express opinions" (which are actually unsupported) to the low IQ consumers of Fox News that take everything they have to say at face value and expect them to somehow discern between what's sensationalized BS and what are cold hard facts. It's disingenuous to expect/claim Fox's viewership is, for the most part, making those distinctions.

Only someone who wants to buy into Fox's BS narrative would mince words on this topic anyway. If you think Glenn Beck actually adds value (other than comedic), then you're simply not being honest with yourself. Period.

Let's face it, Faux took Beck off the air because he became a liability. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows the guy is full of dangerous BS, but as long as he was making money and stirring up Tea Party fervor, Faux was happy to have him aboard. Now most of his sponsors have pulled out, fearing backlash on account of the anti-Semitic garbage he has flirted with (his criticisms of Soros were shameless rip-offs of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion). So, clearly the time had come for Beck to go bye-bye. I am a little sad he is gone, though, because his exit gives Faux a slight appearance of exercising good sense. On the other hand, the risk of further inflaming the many thousands of ignoramuses who bought into his trash is probably not worth having him continue.
