Your Monday Beck-ness

I know several of you are going to jump me for posting about Glenn Beck - again. But, this debate is just too much fun. Yes, it's all translating into huge numbers for Beck, but it's also translating into a continued bleeding of advertisers.

Lindsey Graham Blasts Glenn Beck

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Sen. John McCain’s, has blasted Glenn Beck. First, on Fox: And then on CNN, former Dick Cheney advisor Mary Matalin responds (claiming Beck is actually nonpartisan) to Graham’s comments — as does her husband, Democratic strategist warhorse James Carville (who does not mince words): Beck is now one of the [...]

Ya' Just Gotta Love It!

I have to admit that this really made my day! It's been a rough couple of days, on a personal level, so it's good to come up for air and see that the White House is trashing Glenn Beck!  That's right!

White House vs. Beck…

The Washington Examiner’s Liz Barrett notes that the White House blog tried to fact check Glenn Beck today… The official White House blog post for Wednesday said Fox News shows a blatant “disregard for the facts,” listing a litany of Glenn Beck rethoric that does not match up with reality. The post was written by staffer Jesse [...]

The Glenn Beck Saga Continues

Fact-checking, my friend, is the rule, not just a suggestion. Someday, somebody, will get back to the basics. Or not.

Weak…

TVNewser has FNC’s Senior Vice President of Development Joel Cheatwood offering an utterly unconvincing defense for Glenn Beck getting caught up in a hoax concerning ACORN… Joel Cheatwood, FNC’s SVP of Development tells TVNewser, “As Glenn has steadfastly maintained throughout the show’s coverage of this latest ACORN scandal, the individuals on the tapes are not the [...]

Money Talks

I just have to wonder how long it will take before a Fox News boss tells Beck to tone things down.  Hmmm, where have we heard that "tone down" line before?  O'Reilly?  Olbermann?  Is Beck next? Oh, by the way, there IS an Arkansas connection, so - read on!

Hate Speech: So Easy A Caveman Could Do It-- More Glenn Beck Advertisers Pull Off His Show

That irresistible line about the caveman, by the way, came from a reddit commenter. He was probably feeling celebratory over the fact that GEICO pulled all its advertising from Glenn Beck's hateful Fox TV show. And GEICO isn't the only company to have decided that [...]

Laughing At Glenn Beck

Well, if Glenn Beck is honestly this emotional, I have some words to eat. As does the gang on Morning Joe. Still, this is some darn entertaining early morning TV. Enjoy. And, again, my apologies for the lack of posts lately. Had some irons in the fire. And that is a good thing!

How'd She Get Elected?

And Glenn Beck is falling right in line, helping her tout this crazy "one currency world" bull crap. I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.

Touting Her Currency Conspiracy, Bachmann Insists: ‘This Is Not Michele Bachmann Being A Kook’

Earlier this week, right-wing fanatic Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) started peddling false conspiracy theories that the world was moving toward a unified global currency — and that the U.S. might join in as early as next week’s G-20 conference. The myth was started when China’s central bank governor suggested replacing the dollar as the world’s [...]

Desperation

Guess he's really desperate to attract an audience with his new Fox show. Even Drudge (so far) hasn't ventured into this territory.

Glenn Beck freaks out about the missing Bible at Obama’s do-over swearing in.

Today on his new Fox News show, Glenn Beck panicked about the re-do oath of office President Obama took last night, because Obama did not place his hand on a Bible. “I checked. We have never had a president sworn into office without a Bible,” he intoned dramatically. Watch it: Beck is simply wrong. As Slate [...]

Hitting From The Right

Short honeymoon for Obama, at least when you look at Fox News. Newly-hired Fox flak, Glenn Beck, came out swinging, before inauguration day was done.

Beck Outraged At Inauguration Benediction, Accuses Rev. Lowery Of Calling America ‘Racist’

Yesterday, civil rights leader Rev. Joseph Lowery delivered the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration. At the end of the prayer, Lowery offered a light-hearted approach to a hopeful future absent of racial bigotry: LOWERY: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, [...]
