Glenn Beck whups Obama

That is why Obama supporters cannot stand Beck and Palin. They are afraid of the truth

Yes, I'd love to see "truth" on the 2012 GOP ticket. Now THAT would be an interesting presidential debate. Palin v. Obama.

Palin: "Well, America has values that like because Christian morals from our founding fathers the world we have is better because of people like John McCain death panels and big government are not freedom".

Moderator: "The question was, 'are Republicans manipulating misinformation and fear to scare up opposition to the Democrats'."

Palin: "I stand by my remark."

well, maybe if some of the other news channels weren't so far up Obama's butt, they would have some cedibility. But they will sink, just like Obama, because of they are one in the same.

well, maybe if some of the other news channels weren't so far up Obama's butt

Hmm, I don't remember any liberal news stations graciously ignoring the controversy surrounding Jeremiah Wright...but sure, yeah, the media's in the tank for Obama just because their negative to positive story ratio for him isn't 6:1 like Fox News Entertainment. Sure, okay.

But they will sink, just like Obama

Someone must have ignored the 2nd quarter profit margins for FoxNews Entertainment.

someone must be missing the Nielsen ratings for about the last 9 months.

Someone must not understand that Nielsen ratings do not equal profits.

Someone must not understand that Nielsen ratings do not equal profits.

Someone else must not understand broadcast media and how it's advertisers work in relation to ratings. High Neilson ratings absolutely equal profits.

"Another criticism of the Nielsen ratings system is its lack of a system for measuring television audiences in environments outside the home, such as college dormitories, transport terminals, bars, and other public places where television is frequently viewed, often by large numbers of people in a common setting. Internet TV viewing is another rapidly growing market for which Nielsen Ratings fail to account for viewer impact. Apple iTunes, atomfilms, YouTube, and some of the networks' own websites (e.g., ABC.com, CBS.com) provide full-length web-based programming, either subscription-based or ad-supported. Though web sites can already track popularity of a site and the referring page, they can't track viewer demographics."

Nielsen ratings are far from being the end-all be-all. And, coincidentally, would you remind me of how many companies it was that have stopped advertising on Glenn Beck's show? But that must mean more profits, losing over 50 advertisement slots of billion-dollar industries, you've gotta be raking in money hand over fist.

And if "high Nielsen ratings absolutely equal profits", how come FoxNews Entertainment corp saw their profits drop by such a colossal margin last quarter?

And if "high Nielsen ratings absolutely equal profits", how come FoxNews Entertainment corp saw their profits drop by such a colossal margin last quarter?

I can't personally speak for FOX NEWS because I don't work for them. But high ratings mean more profit in any market.

Although I'm no big fan of any ratings type system, ESPECIALLY ARBITRON, higher ratings in competative markets traditionally mean increases in advertising revenue. This is why radio and television stations are always trying to one-up the other.

Though web sites can already track popularity of a site and the referring page, they can't track viewer demographics."

Actually they can, through call-out research.

I can't personally speak for FOX NEWS because I don't work for them. But high ratings mean more profit in any market.

*facepalm*

When expenditures outweigh revenue, that's called a deficit. FoxNews is making a lot of money, as is evident in their ratings, but they're spending even more to keep their partisan bastion of conservative thought in running order. Hence their terrible 2nd quarter numbers.

Though web sites can already track popularity of a site and the referring page, they can't track viewer demographics."

Actually they can, through call-out research.

The problem is, they DON'T. When you tune in to Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.com, you aren't greeted with a survey. When you watch thisWeek on ABC.com, there is no 5-minute demographic survey that asks you to fill out information about yourself. And do you know what Nielsen does with incomplete demographic results? They can them. "Oh, that's nice, MSNBC, 4 million hits on your video reruns, how many of them are women? You don't know? Well, then those 4 million people won't be included in our ratings, it could just be one guy watching a one hour show 4 million times."

What is with you people and this facepalm @!$%#.

Are you in broadcasting? Do you work for television and/or radio? And don't patronize, it's very unbecoming. I don't watch Keith Olberman nor do I watch Glenn Beck. What I DO DO, is keep very close track of my own stations' ratings and how we profit from those ratings when they go up and how we lose profit when they go down.

The problem is, they DON'T.

You honestly don't understand how this works do you? Call-Out research is not a 5 minute dempgraphic survey in the middle of a program.

I'm not going to argue this with you, it's obvious you're only going by fox numbers as they go up and down for profit margin and you're simply missing too much of the process to make a valid argument. There's alot more to it than quarterly earning reports and the such.

What do you do for a living by the way?

What do you do for a living by the way?

I'm a full-time college student at an Ivy League university. Seeing as how my tuition is upwards of $60,000/year, and the average income in America floats around $37,000, I'd say that's not half bad for an 18-year old. What do YOU do for a living?

There's alot more to it than quarterly earning reports and the such.

If you give me a three-hour presentation of the ills that befell your company, and the special events that needed tending to, and the rate of international inflation, and then at the end I asked you "well super, but what's the bottom line" and you said "erm, our profits went down by 60%" I am going to be pissed as all get out. There is more to it than quarterly earning reports, but quarterly earning reports are all that anyone (including the owner(s)) care about.

Well that not only explains your argumentative attitude, but that last little snippet certainly explains your mindset as well. Congratulations on spending lots of your parents money and throwing it in the face of others who aren't as elitely fortunate as yourself. Good for you kid, you're an Ivy Leager:

SO WHAT?!? Go graduate and get some life experience then come back and talk to me about numbers and ratings and what's important in the workplace.

If you spent at least 3 hours a day reading books since you were 6, then you probably could've gone to an Ivy League school too. I earned everything I got. Nothing was handed to me. I was gifted with rather extraordinary intelligence. Super. I had to spend thousands of hours cultivating and nourishing it.

You know, if my dad's company had not just shut down his branch because their quarterly earnings were bad (despite 6 consecutive years of stellar profits), then I might agree with you.

Glenn Beck and truth should never be said in the same sentence.

Funny, I feel the same way about Obama, hope and change in the same sentence.

A nod to Glenn Beck....31 "Czar's" to go...

Glenn Beck and truth should never be said in the same sentence.

Nonsense! "Glenn Beck is a malevolent sycophantic farsical purveyor of 'truth'."

See? I did it!

sol badguy said "I was gifted with rather extraordinary intelligence"

My question to you would be" Why the hell are you defending obama then if you're so smart" Unless of course book smarts don't always equal common sense

Then again you might just be lying and you live in your parents basement

Beck is a talk show host and an alcholic

Rush is a pill popping drug addict

Obama is a Professor of Constitutional law and the President of the United States.

Hummm I believe Obama thank you very much!

Ms Lovelee -

...Obama is a Professor of Constitutional law

Obama was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School who taught three courses per Year. Not a Professor...

Obama is a Professor of Constitutional law and the President of the United States.

Don't forget the: And a liar, and a breaker of promises and one who does not lead by example or does not practice what he preaches and certainly does not have the best interest of this country or its citizens at heart. Don't forget all that when you praise your boy Obama.

Then again you might just be lying and you live in your parents basement

Yeah, see that email address that's listed there? Notably the part that says @cornell? They don't give those out to everyone. But sure, go on thinking that, only genius conservatives are correct, stoopid liberalz iz not goods enough for smart-like.

Kid, you're letting blanket assumptions bite you right in the ass. I could've gone to any school I wanted. I'm a member of MENSA, ever heard of the organization? Don't overestimate yourself, you haven't earned @!$%#, you're only 18 years old, hell you haven't even had the chance to experience life yet, but with that elitist attitude of yours, dare I say reality will hit you square in the mouth soon enough.

Do you think you can come on here and impress people with all that intelligence and full ride bull@!$%#? Well I, for one, am not impressed. Anyone with half a brain and the knowledge of how to pass a test can get a ride in college. So what..........................-

I was gifted with rather extraordinary intelligence

No, you weren't. Marilyn Savant was gifted with extraordinary inttligence.

Get over yourself kid, and get a grip on that ego or you're headed for some really rude awakenings down a long hard road to reality.

I've obviously touched a nerve here. I apologize. I will not comment further on this subject. I did not mean to tout my accomplishments in pride, rather, I referred to them in self-defense. I was accused of living in my parent's basement. Regardless, I'm stepping back here, and I once again apologize for any metaphysical scars I may have incidentally inflicted or any painful memories I may have resurfaced.

Obama was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School who taught three courses per Year. Not a Professor...

Per University of Chicago's website:

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track.

Blue Boy

Ha,

I definitley had a good laugh from this. Glenn Beck and truth should never be said in the same sentence.

You think because he says "I just love my country" 20 times in every speech and tears up he gives a crap about the truth and gives a crap about you ?

It's not a blatent media bias, it's your blatent capability to understand things outside of your Fox news fed' head.

There's no hope for you.

Fox only reason for their rating been so high is hate for the president and the color of his skin, their whole programing scheme is to spread hate for the president and bring him down, they use the same tactic that McCarthy used in the fifties and what Hitler did in his day, the conservatives want to pit American people against each other, the democrats do the same thing but not as vicious as the republican conservatives are,

Fox say they are fair and balance and i say they are fair to their truth and balance to the republicans spin,

Senior lectureres are considered to be members of the lawschool faculty and are regarded as professors...

Semantics. And a veterinarian can also choose to be called Doctor at his highschool reunion..

And a veterinarian can also choose to be called Doctor at his highschool reunion.

Indeed, he can.

Actually nothing would surprise me about Harvard Law School. It is ultra-liberal and it has a history of having an unjust an hypocritical honor code. Daddy paid them off when young Ted Kennedy got caught cheating on an exam. Normally a student would be out like shiznit through a Canada goose.

I suppose that in a liberal university like Harvard, that teaching young Che' Tee-shirt wearing radicals about Saul Alinskey (a communist) and his methods of community agitating as germane to rigorous study of the U.S. Constitution is acceptable.

Thanks Justin... He is indeed a Professor.

Semantics is an excuse to willingly ignore the truth... a motto in this day and age I can see

Hey Sol-Badguy,

At your next highschool reunion ask a treesurgeon for medical advice. You'd be more likely to get an accurate statement than asking Barack Obama whether Redistribution of wealth or reparations is Constitutional.

And don't tell me your ancestors all died from Dutch Elm Disease either.

I believe that was a feeble attempt at an insult, however; the grammatical structure of your retort was of such a horrendous nature that I could not comprise an adequate riposte. But veterinarians that have graduated from vet school are doctors. My economics teacher is in a situation similar to that of Obama's. She has a PhD. Seems like a professor to me. If you teach a college class, even if it's Orgasm 1101 (yes that is a class), then you are a professor.

Sol-Badguy

Someone must not understand that Nielsen ratings do not equal profits.

And someone is forgetting that soros and emmelt are behind the communist in the whitehouse which is keeping their propaganda media going through MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and CNN, I really think the posers on those "NEWS" outlets are getting screwed in the back ally

You are really out of touch, we all have found out the dirty little secrets of the left, the President and his staff promote racial division and you, his little sheeple have nothing but the race card to play when trying to defend a position...good job, he would be proud!

Van Jones has more class and more care for his fellow human-beings than Glenn Beck has ever had...

Van Jones is the founder and president Green For All, a national organization dedicated to building an inclusive, green economy, strong enough to lift millions of people out of poverty... As an advocate for the toughest urban constituencies and causes, he has won many honors, including the Rockefeller Foundation Next Generation Leadership Fellowship. Jones is also cofounder and board president of The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland, California. The center promotes alternatives to violence and incarceration, including a successful “Books Not Bars” campaign that has helped reduce California’s overall youth prison population by more than 30 percent...

The Green Collar Economy

SBVOR - your opinion blogs ranting about socialism and climate change denial are much more disturbing than anything I've heard Van Jones say. And you have not refuted anything in his biography above...just more "big bad socialist Obama is gonna take away our rights" crap.

Someone must have ignored the 2nd quarter profit margins for FoxNews Entertainment.

Oh really? One sentence from The Atlantic (I believe this is a left leaning publication) will prove you wrong.

The channel reported a 50 present increase in profit last quarter.....(dated Aug 8, 2009 1:10 pm by Derek Thompson) So by that, there is a direct correlation between profits and ratings because viewership has increased for the news channel. Though I rarely agree with Dylan923, his comment "High Neilson ratings absolutely equal profits" is spot on.

Semantics. And a veterinarian can also choose to be called Doctor at his highschool reunion..

Except that one is that a person claiming something and another is an institution clarifying. I would think that you might have a higher regard for the truth.

Hummm I believe Obama thank you very much!

I love it! The inanity of this comparison is astouding. Let's try another one, shall we?

Steven Hawking is a parapalegic.

Bill Gates couldn't hack it at Harvard and is a college dropout.

Mark Cuban is a successful billionare and owner of an NBA franchise.

So by focusing on a disability from one person and a negative talking point on a 2nd person, I can point out two facts about a 3rd person and make it sound like the 3rd is better than both the 1st and 2nd. That's a nifty trick.

Never mind that Hawking is a lot smarter than Cuban, and Gates could buy Cuban with his lunch money... but hey, whatever makes you happy.

Reality is that Beck is bringing out the truth that the media ignored during the campaign.

Regardless, Glenn Beck is no investigative journalist, period. He's a COMMENTATOR. He only reads and speaks of what is given him by others, adding opinion as he goes along. Larry King is a COMMENTATOR, Sean Hannity is a COMMENTATOR, in addition to being a complete and total ass. Christine Amapour is an investigative journalist. Cami McCormick is an investigative journalist.

HUGE DIFFERENCE.......................

*facepalm*

Gee, one wonders where the whole notion of tsars came from. Surely it was not a Republican president. Surely Nixon and Reagan did not have their own tsars. Say it ain't so, Joe. Tsars are not inherently evil. Bush appointed a smattering of his old cronies when he took office. Obama did the same. It's called a plum book write-in. Bush had tsars, just like Obama had tsars. But Bush's tsars were largely incompetent, while Obama's tsars seem to be teetering on the edge of actually having a clue. If I replaced the word "Obama" with "Bush" in your retort, Madison, I'd still be making a boatload of sense. Why? Because everyone uses tsars.

Dylan,

I have a question for you as you bring up a good point. First, if it's Beck's idea to tell his staff to begin finding out more on this guy, then who gets the credit? I would imagine that all people involved are to be given kudos for their work.

But, my question to you is, those people on 60 Minutes, like Mike Wallace, would you consider them investigative reporters? If Mike Wallace says to his team, let's go after this guy, is it then only the team that deserves the credit or should Mike Wallace be included?

I am very curious as to what makes a journalist a journalist and what makes a journalist an investigative reporter.

jsbach,

Nice to hear from you again, been a little while.

In response to your question concerning the 60 minutes crew, Mike Wallace was a journalist way before he was a television personality. Mike Wallace's journalistic record stands on its own merit.

As for Beck, Glenn Beck started with a radio talk program and gravitated to television. He's an opinion personality. He takes already written news and reports and does opinion based commentary on them.

As for the question on what makes a journalist a journalist and an investigative reporter an investigative reporter: While I'm certainly no expert on literal definitions, having worked in journalism and broadcast media in general for the past 14 years, a "JOURNALIST" takes leads given them by News Directors, editors, producers, whatever the case, and follow up on the leads to generate a story. They go get sound bytes, research numbers, leads, validate the accuracy of any given quote, write the story and either hand it over to be broadcast or report on the story themselves. In this latter case, in radio we call that style doing a "VOICER". The anchor reads a lead then throws it to the reporter, who literally records the story in the first person. Most of these VOICERS are pre-recorded although with breaking news, they're done live as programming schedules permit.

Investigative Journalists take controversial and/or important issues, go on location and investigate allegations and/or claims for validity, talk to people and pretty much build a story around the allegations or claims. Alot of people equate investigative journalism with "BRINGING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING DOWN", but this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Investigative Journalism can simply be detailed and informative feature stories as opposed to news clips often associated with reporters.

Christine Amapour is one of the top investigative reporters in the world today and alot of her material is not controversial, simply very detailed informative feature pieces. Far and away the most famous investigative journalists around are Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, they brought down Nixon.

My current assignment is working on an investigative story concerning the payment of wages owed by employers and the state of Nebraska's Department of Labor to do anything when employers refuse to pay wages owed. Nebraska is an "AT WILL" employment state and as such, the laws overwhelmingly favor the employer. There is a certain trucking company in this state that regularly and consistently refuses to pay it's drivers or people who quit. The Director of the Department of Labor in Nebraska is in a real spot because while the law provides that an employer is required to pay all wages owed, there is no legal recourse for the D.O.L to go after these people other than to demand they pay. If they refuse, there is absolutely nothing the D.O.L can due exccept advise the wronged employee to file in small claims court. The catch? An employee has to wait 30 days to file and if they have already filed a wage claim with the state, then they're prohibited from filing AGAIN in small claims court, kind of a double jeapordy thing. It's getting pretty nasty as the DOT and the IRS are now involved in this issue as well.

Hope this answers your question?

Dylan,

It is always good to see you.

Hope this answers your question?

Yes, you have helped me above and beyond, as usual. Thank you, very much.

Far and away the most famous investigative journalists around are Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, they brought down Nixon.

For me, it's a perfect example of investigative journalism. Also, it was the first time I had ever seen this type of journalism, period. I voted for the guy, but when that story broke, I was just "wowed" by the work of these two guys. This made their career, I think.

I know of your work history, but only now am I learning of your current assignment. I realize you are unable to divulge the name of the trucking company, but I am curious, nonetheless. Many trucking companies have a main hub in one state with terminals in other parts of the country.

The tactics used by the trucking company are unconscionable to say the least and it's unfortunate that the law doesn't allow for the employees to seek "justice." How a company can legally operate in this manner is difficult to grasp, yet they do.

My state is an "At Will" state too. The employer does not have to give cause as to the discharge of an employee. Very unfair.

Christine Amapour is one of the top investigative reporters in the world today and alot of her material is not controversial, simply very detailed informative feature pieces.

I will look her up. Thank you for the heads up on her and for answering my questions so thoroughly.

Glad to help my friend. As for the name of the company, I'll simply say that they have only one terminal, the one here in Nebraska. These people are really in the hot vat presently and what makes this whole assignment interesting is that I can throw a rock from my home and hit their building. I live at the end of a dead end road that ends right at their lot, kind of ironic if you ask me, but work is work.

Too many states these days are AT WILL states. My brother lives there also, down in Durant. He builds and races stock cars, mostly TIDA. Alot of these trucking companies and other companies as well really take advantage of the at will employment laws, however this case is unique in that the owner of thecomapny literlally told the Director of the Nebraska DOL to go F**K herself about a week ago, he wasn't paying, and so now Jon Bruning (Nebraska Atty General) is involved.

You should really check out some of Christine's work, it's amazing.

I have to tell you, I'vev been offered another job, out in Wyoming as a morning show host/program director of a small but hugely successful stand alone station there, and I'm probably going to officially accept the offer on tuesday. That would put me back on the air on Monday the 14th. I'll email you the link to the website so you can listen if you want. It's a pretty good offer with a nice salary and a management commission on everything over a certain amount of sales. And I love Wyoming, I had a #1 rated show there back about 8 years ago before I went to the Virgin Islands to be a beach bum. OPnly an hour or so from Sturgis and NO HELMET LAW-----WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay my friend, gotta run to Wal Mart(I HATE that) and pick up some charcoal, my brother is on his way back to town, so we're gonna BBQ later on.

Talk to you later and I'll send you the link as soon as I'm in place over there.

Sol-Badguy - True enough. Other President's have had Czar's. A Czar here, a Czar there. But Obama, whoaaa, Czar's Czar's everywhere. Unprecedented Czar usage....with one goal, circumvention of confirmation, you know that silly little they do. Corroboration, ratification and verification that your not a radical crackpot. Van Jones wouldn't made it through the front door otherwise. Begs the question, what about the other 31 Czar's?

Dylan,

Yes, please email me.

Madison,

I apologize to you for going off-topic. It was a legitimate question to Dylan as I knew his background and thought he could help me with my questions. And, of course, he did.

dar63,

There does seem to be a multitude of "extras" currently in the White House, doesn't it?

I can understand the concern over the Czars... Im not too comfortable with that either but that does not mean all is going to hell in a hand basket. Every Administration has its good and bad sides. There has not been enough time to find out either. Maybe in year 2 we will have a different opinion but for right now only time will tell.

Dylan

As for the name of the company, I'll simply say that they have only one terminal, the one here in Nebraska.

I don't know the details of this companies problems, but if it's W.E., this has been going on for over 30 years.

Here is the problem with the czars, They answer to no one except the president and can not be held accountable to congress like others who go through the normal process.

at last count i think there were 37 czars - the 4 that resigned plus one new one Bloom, the manufacturing czar.

I don't mined one, two , or three of them but almost 40, and the personal views they all hold as well.

Obama said something like "Judged him by the people he has to advise him" well Pres. Obama we are.

The Presidenthim self can not do much of anything with out the support of the house and Senate, and the czars area means of bypassing them, they are also disposable. they can be thrown away as soon as the start causing problems or get discovered on there real agenda.

I don't mined one, two , or three of them but almost 40,

Really so the fact that at one point bush had 45 czars did not bother you. Bush had Czars for almost every conceivable issue. He had a faith based Czar, He had an Aids Czar and a birth-control Czar.

By the way at last count Obama only has 32.

at one point bush had 45 czars

Can I check out your source? Thanks.

Can I check out your source? Thanks.

Well for some reason Newsvine won't let me post the link.

It's all public information and Goggle is your friend. The best I can tell Bush at one point had a maximum of 45 czars and had an average of 35 Czars through out his presidency. Bush had everything from a AIDS Czar to a birth control and a Faith based Family values Czar.

Bush didn't have 45 czars. Your link won't post because there isn't one. I'd love to eat crow, if you can figure out how to insert your link. Hint, that chain thingy in your tool bar is your friend.

Goggle is your friend

My eyes! The googles do nothing!

Just kidding.

Yep, says Bush 45 czars and Obama 32. Took me 7 seconds of yahoo search.

SBVOR: If you havenot been here long enough and been given "rights" by NV when you paste in into the text it disappears, or it did when I used to try it.

As long as you are around...do you know how to do it so you have just a word underlined and it links to the site? I can't find instructions anywhere. Thanks!

When I click the chain icon I get a big white screen andjust a little gray bar "insert/edit" link but it looks like there is probably more not showing.

I'd like to see a "reputable" news source that reported that Bush had 45 czars at one time.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think Bush had them "at one time" though you will have to give me a little time. I need to get to sleep, and damn if Newsvine isn't distracting. I will get back to this, I promise.

Agreed. It's as if somehow playing audio/video of these czars is being biased or racist.

Just like McCarthy did for the entertainment industry. I am sure if you stand on a soap box long enough screaming at the wind you will make others afraid of it too.

Beck is no better than Joesph McCarthy, the American people wised up to him as they will wise up to Beck. A sensationalist that doesn't tell the whole truth, only his version of it. A true investigative reporter tells the whole truth regardless of his own personal beliefs. I truly thought this was America where you could serve your country regardless of your belief. I thought that this was America where all view points were looked at. I didn't know that being a socialist or communist was an automatic "black list" to keep you out of public service. I thought that the cold war was over. I thought that we had grown as a nation, I thought the boogey man of communism and socialism was forever debunked. I guess I was wrong.

A true investigative reporter tells the whole truth regardless of his own personal beliefs.

I thought that the cold war was over. I thought that we had grown as a nation, I thought the boogey man of communism and socialism was forever debunked. I guess I was wrong.

Here HERE!!!! I think people want to have a Civil War and Cold War all over again. We need to come together not take each other down.

So ok there we have it. Since we lost in the election lets use all of the powers of Fox News to bring Obama's administration to its knees. So this is the playbook? Man...Obama is going to have to toughen up and do something to stop this madness from the right. I'll give the hatemongers on the right credit...you do have the momentum. Go right ahead...don't stop till you completely tear this country apart. I mean it's all about getting your party in power right? Even if some of Obama's ideas would help you and others...lets make sure everything he does is stopped. Lets not stop until some crazy does something henious! I guess we deserve to be destroyed from within. What a sad time.

I dunno Psmitty2005---I seem to remember a LOT of hatemongering against Bush for several years! Now, I have NO use for Bush and think he will go down as one of the worst Prez in history, but frankly, I think he will be tied for that title with Obama!

As for Jones resigning, so what, Bush had several of his advisors quit, granted he did not go around congress and the constitution by appointing 30 plus "tsars", but they quit under media (this time it was the LIBERAL media) hip hip hoorays too!

Same shoe, different foot!

I do agree that we have become paralized as a nation due to the polarization of the two parties, and that is OUR fault for not holding ALL elected leaders, even of your OWN PARTY accountable for not working together for the good of the COUNTRY not their party! It does your children no good to grow up in a country where half hates the other half just due to party affiliation, but if that works for you, then go for it because this country is just perking along really well eh? As Dr Phil says "how is this working for you?"....

same trough, different pigs...

I don't like Glenn Beck because he's a member of the "Mormon" cult.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2012 GOP presidential candidate...Mitt Romney!

BBC NEWS: September 18, 2001

Bin Laden left Saudi Arabia in 1979 to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

The Afghan jihad was backed with American dollars and had the blessing of the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

He received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian.

Most reliable sources believe Osama Bin Laden has been dead for years now. The U.S. should stop searching for a ghost and they should bring the troops home now. It is ill-advised to engage in combat with those whom you have trained in special forces tactics on their home turf.

Glenn Beck wouldn't make a pimple on a good investigative journalists ass.

Yep, probably right, but since we have not SEEN a good investigative journalist in a couple decades now (hmmm since Watergate I believe), they are all too lazy to really, REALLY dig on stories now, want it handed to them---Beck, O'Reilly, Olberman, Dobbs, Matthews are apparently heir apparents...and they are all OPINION commentators, not journalists!

WHERE were the good investigative journalists when Bush was lying thru his teeth about Iraq being directly involved in 9-11, and the WMD? Where are they now with groups like ACORN and Obama's much more "radical" leanings on governing? WHERE WHERE WHERE?????

Snoozing under some tree apparently waiting for someone else to break the story for them!

He's lower than whale doodie...

He'd still be looking down on libs, Van Jones and obama!

Regardless, Madison, you got the title correct. This weekend's biggest rout wasn't Kentucky's shut out of Miami of Ohio, it was Glenn Beck over TeamObama.

Actually, I'm thinking Tennessee's win was more one-sided, but sure. Glenn Beck really put it to Obama.

It's convenient that no one bothers to mention all the times Keith Olbermann called Bush out on the carpet.

Actually, I'm thinking Tennessee's win was more one-sided, but sure.

Yeah HOW BOUT THEM VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil Fulmer was great while it lasted, but now we have Lane Kiffin and more importantly, his defensive genius of a father. Look for us to be in the hunt right out of the gate this year!!

psssh. You're in the SEC. You're Florida's appetizer.

Now Texas, that's a school that's going all the way.

Yeah I'm in the SEC, when was the last time an IVY LEAGUE school won a National Championship? When was the last time Cornell won ANYTHING?

Perhaps if you follow lacrosse, you'd know that Cornell lost in the championship game in overtime to juggernaut Syracuse. Cornell has also earned consecutive berths to men's March Madness, and is poised to do the same this year. Cornell's men's hockey team is also one of the best in the nation. Harvard won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships in 2003, 2004, 2005, and on the women's side, Harvard and Brown won the 2003 and 2004 NCAA Rowing Championships, respectively. Additionally, Cornell's men's lightweight team won back to back to back IRA National Championships in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Sure, rowing is not that interesting, or popular, but I was just making a point. The Ivy League schools are also very competitive in both men's and women's hockey. Also, comparing a public university to a private university in terms of athletics or academia is terribly one-sided. My favorite public university is Texas, I've been a fan since I was little, if my 40-yard dash were a couple tenths of a second faster, I'd be playing football there. But alas, that was ne'er to be, so here I am at Cornell. And aside from women's basketball, Tennessee has been rather lackluster in the athletic realm as of late.

hey Dylan. I didn't know you were a VOL fan? Looking good (at least better this year). Fulmer was a good guy but past his prime, IMHO. Besides, Lane is smoking! Keep in touch and let me know how your doing - moving to Wyoming, are you?

Man I was born at Nashville General back then and went to Maplewood High School, then to UT.

Lane and his daddy are gonna get it going on...............

Here's the thing nobody objects to looking in someone elses closet, unless the closet they look in is theirs, face it there are a lot of closets to check out since this president has taken office, the thing is if the left would have opened their eyes instead of their legs, no one would be getting screwed.

The team of interns should not be credited with enlightening the American populace of Van Jones' shady past through their collective charismata

This is a great post, however the interns mentioned do deserve recognition for their work. Glenn Beck is no investigative journalist by any stretch of the imagination and interns are in all reality not the only ones working on his show. While Glenn Beck is the mouthpiece for presenting the material, his hands are pretty much tied as to what actually does and does not get on.

Certainly neither is the White House...their vetting process sucks!!!

Sol-Badguy

I've been following the back and forth of your comments, and I've gotta tell ya....you're arguing with the resident population of "Idiot America".

I'm sure you're aware of that, and it can be entertaining for a while but in the end it becomes apparent the residents of Idiot America only dig their heels in deeper in the face of facts, and after that, it's akin to arguing with an ass. I've been a newsvine member for about 8 months and prior to that, I rarely heard or read anything re Glenn Beck, Saul Olinsky (?), or a lot of the issues and people that comprise the bulk of the chatter here on Newsvine.

Good for you in your ability to secure a full ride in an Ivy League school. You are right to be proud of that and need not apologize for answering the question in the context you did.

BTW, corporate America does indeed lack the ability to see beyond the next two quarterly profit reports. Money in and of itself has no conscience, and those who place their faith in money, like the nation did with the GWB administration, are living in the aftermath of that fact today.

Put your jerked knee back in place SBVOR, I was obviously referring to the passage in the bible that admonishes one to "not argue with an ass". The "ass" is, of course, an animal well known for its hardheadedness and refusal to act, even in its own interest.

SBVOR

I neglected to ask for your VISA or immigration card. You do need one when entering mainstream USA from I.A.

Stereotypes and cloud generalizations for the WIN!

Hard to argue his own words and spin it like it's taken out of context, wouldn't you say.

Van Jones showed his leanings and hate twice this year alone!

Sol....

go study and read your books.

Greg-707692: right on my friend.

@ WaterDog;

A lot of scary folks out there that try to get you to believe something other than the man's own words!

Hi fives aside, Beck is a far right extremist, and as someone who is left wing, I would declare Obama pretty much Center right ..... but thats maybe why he's both a socialist commie and a facist nazi (=center right) where beck is pretty much just a fascist nazi (authoritarian right)??

econ101, Beck is a libertarian. How do you get authoritarian out of that? He's criticizing communists (who are completely authoritarian).

Same as they try to do to O'Reilly and Boortz Ellie.

When they don't agree, change their political affiliation to justify the Lefts rants.

Anybody that disagree's with the Left, must be right wing.

Kind of makes 80% of the nation right wing.

what he has done is accumulate and present the facts about van jones,

Present, yes. Accumulate, no.

Note that DanaR capitalizes Beck, but will not capitalize Van Jones' name. Nor Obama's.

P-a-t-h-e-t-i-c.

Madison from NY,

I agree with you and do believe people are starting to wake up. However, I'm afraid that many will simply follow this guy like sheep even with the truth about him and his agenda slapping them across the face at every corner. They simply refuse to see the forest for the trees, know what I mean?

"BLINDED BY THE OBAMA LIGHT OF DECEPTION"

I've been told by an inside source that Beck will be going after Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov in his next series. Tsar hunting at its finest.

I think he will be sticking with Obamas czars, and unlike stimulus checks he will be going to the ones that are alive

I wonder who they will try and blame for how this radical ever got hired in the first place.

I wonder who they will try and blame for how this radical ever got hired in the first place.

Oh hell that's an easy one. They're going to blame Bush as usual, it was all Bush's fault.

Heck no, it was Bill's fault.

I wouldn't be surprised if mark loyld tried to make a move next against Beck and FOX before they can continue to shine light on this administration. This story is going to be on fire next week I can hardly wait to see gibbs squirm to get out of this one

This story is going to be on fire next week I can hardly wait to see gibbs squirm to get out of this one

I am personally looking forward to that myself....maybe I'll make popcorn. This administration is akin to a bad movie.

The whole concept of digging up dirt on Presidents and their appointees is a rather new concept for Republicans. It's old hat for us Democrats. After a while, you'll find out that no one listens or really cares. Democrats were raising Cain about Bush's connections in 2004. Kerry still got drummed. You learn to live with it. Enjoy it for the moment, but the novelty wears off after a while, like that new toy firetruck you got for Christmas.

but the novelty wears off after a while

You are correct. The novelty of a black President is passé. However, the novelty of a Marxist President is still a source of controversy.

the novelty of a Marxist President is still a source of controversy.

Newsflash: There is no such thing as a Marxist president. Marxists are egalitarian purists. They believe that the will of the people is sovereign. We are still a capitalist society. We cannot have a Marxist president. It's impossible. Get serious.

Except that Marxism is a transition of sorts to socialism. Gotta start where you are.

Except that Marxism is a transition of sorts to socialism.

I simply don't believe someone took the time to write this remark down and then share with the world.

:::::rolls eyes:::

Would be kind of nice if the Obama administration disclosed the full CVs of these czars as part of "transparency."

They aren't going to disclose ANYTHING they think will tarnish the already overinflated popularity of this self serving administration.

There is no such thing as a Marxist president. Marxists are egalitarian purists.

Now that is just plain dumb. We have a Marxist President. He just hasn't been able to make America Marxist, yet. The President can have any personal ideology if the voters are dumb enough to vote him in. And Newsflash for you, there has never been a Marxist state that believes the will of the people is sovereign, and in fact those Marxist states kill the people that have that belief.

Agh, teh stoopid, it burnzes mah eyes! Obama couldn't make California Marxist if his life depended on it. Marxist ideology believes in a STATELESS SOCIETY. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU HAVE A STATELESS SOCIETY BY EXPANDING THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT? Think real hard for like 2 seconds.

and in fact those Marxist states kill the people that have that belief.

I assume that you're referring to the Soviet Union, which was Marxist in name only. That was a totalitarian communist dictatorship. If the USSR was truly Marxist, then Josep Stalin would not have turned the state into a cult of worship. Which, again, goes to prove that the USSR was not a Marxist state, because in Marxism there is NO STATE. The Soviet Union had the largest government known to mankind. Not Marxist. It's readily evident that you haven't read Das Kapital.

All Marxist states are Marxist in name only. That's what I said. Since it requires a murderous totalitarian dictator to impose and enforce communism upon the people, there can be no true Marxist utopia. But it works well to get to that totalitarian dictatorship, which is what the ruling elite dictator wannabes are after, using the Marxist promise of wealth redistribution and free everything to the huddled masses.

Go try to act intelligent somewhere else, maybe in a government school with small kids, where you might know more than your target audience. It doesn't matter what you've read, it became jumbled gobbledygook on entering that head.

*double facepalm*

Since it requires a murderous totalitarian dictator to impose and enforce communism upon the people, there can be no true Marxist utopia.

I seriously hope that you are not comparing Obama to a murderous totalitarian dictator. Please tell me that society has not sunk that low.

which is what the ruling elite dictator wannabes are after, using the Marxist promise of wealth redistribution and free everything to the huddled masses.

Oh, so Obama is a ruling Marxist elite dictator wannabe, not a murderous totalitarian dictator? I can live with that. *sarcasm*

Go try to act intelligent somewhere else, maybe in a government school with small kids, where you might know more than your target audience.

Ugh. I'm not even bringing up my lofty credentials again. Look at my debacle with Dylan923 if you want proof of my intelligence. And by the way, intelligence is entirely defined by book smarts. Having common sense does not make you intelligent. Having wisdom does not make you intelligent. If you have more wisdom and/or common sense than I (which I'm willing to concede for the sake of this argument), I'm still smarter than you are.

It doesn't matter what you've read, it became jumbled gobbledygook on entering that head.

Genesis 1:27: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"

My interpretation: "So god created a monkey, who then went forth to evolution gay marriage, male and male he created them"

But surely one with such a politically neutral name as "DonkeyRidder" would tell nothing but absolute truths.

Having common sense does not make you intelligent. Having wisdom does not make you intelligent. If you have more wisdom and/or common sense than I (which I'm willing to concede for the sake of this argument), I'm still smarter than you are.

Genius borders insanity!

Liberals by definition don't use smarts. They are touchy/feely, annoyingly so.

I don't care about your credentials. Obama was handed a fistful of them and he's a dope.

Liberals by definition don't use smarts.

Oh yes, pardon me, I forgot, conservatives have the monopoly on intelligence. Carry on.

They are touchy/feely,

This statement in no way, shape or form describes the fanatic Christian right-wing. Continue.

I don't care about your credentials.

Then why go out of your way to state this?

Obama was handed a fistful of them

Last time I checked, they weren't raffling off advanced degrees at Harvard.

and he's a dope.

*facepalm* But Sarah Palin is Jesus Incarnate, and Michelle Bachmann her loyal High Prophetess.

That's what someone who doesn't understand America would say.

You do realize, don't you, that your reply makes no sense whatsoever?

Surely Shakespeare you "jest".....this situation is past serious.

that's what someone who doesn't understand America would say.

Holy crap. You can't argue with that logic.

You could, but you'd still lose if logic was involved in your thought processes. But you still might try it some time, see how logic works for you.

You do realize, don't you, that your reply makes no sense whatsoever?

RDS, I was just pointing out that there is a greater component to your inability to understanding at play.

Um.....OK.....but your original comment still makes so sense. It had no logic to it as a response to my post.

Holy crap. You can't argue with that logic.

I know. It reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where Gabby Johnson makes a complete gibberish speech and Olson Johnson says "Now who could argue with that? I think we're all indebt to Gabby Johnson for stating what needed to be said. I am particulary glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age." lol

The people who the comment was directed at got it. You keep working on it Costello.

Um...the comment was directed at me, since it was a response to something I posted and therefore it makes no sense. Unless of course you just wander the blogs posting unrelated bull@!$%# just to see your name online. Now THAT would make sense. Certainly more sense then your response to my post. If you just want to post random crap that has nothing to do with the post you're responding to, then you should post a separate post and not attached your garbage stuff to another's post. It just makes you look silly and childish and like a troll.

Post like an adult.

If it's okay, and if not, I'll post the way I please. Quit your croaking and move along.

So?

You are right on with your comments...my husband and I totally agree....

let's take our country back from these pro-communists.

No more stupid! Please! I can't take anymore!

If you can't take it anymore, then why not just go somewhere else. Staying here and arguing your "educated" opinions is STUPID.

Since the one thing you can't fix is Stupid, I suggest you leave.

If you can't take it anymore, then why not just go somewhere else.

Since the one thing you can't fix is Stupid, I suggest you leave.

You're admitting that this string of right-wing railing is stupid, then.

Groups that the GOP has successfully alienated:

Blacks: check

Hispanics: check

Asians: check

Young voters: check

Moderates: check

Conservatives continue to stand up and continue praying with Glenn Beck.

Anyone not Christian: check

but there are too many moderate or left leaning Republicans

Anyone not crazy: check

Now, from that remaining demographic, you need to pick up 270 electoral votes. Have fun!

And I don't believe the other groups you mentioned are too thrilled with Obama & Co. either.

*facepalm*

Sure, sure. Okay. Yeah, African-Americans and Hispanics are absolutely disgusted by Obama's work at this point. The young vote is calling for his head. Asians are switching their allegiances as we speak. Moderates are taking up arms and fleeing to the comforting bosom of Rush Limbaugh. Muslims are pouring out in droves in support of the tolerant right-wing fringe.

*double facepalm*

Please, please put the Kool-aid down.

Groups that the GOP has successfully alienated:

cmmies: check

Oh yes all 62 million of the commies that came out to vote for Obama. All of those minority commies, those young commies, those educated commies, those moderate commies, those rational commies, those intellectual conservative commies, those left-leaning conservative commies, all those damn commies, the GOP darn tootin' right sure got rid o' them right quick now. We's can wins election in 2012 if'n we alienate some more commies.

Blacks voted for him because he was black. That's about 40 million right there and millions of illegal hispanics. Funny, my mom's a resident alien that came here legally and SHE can't vote after 45 years. But some fly by night Mexican (who will have another alias next week can). Add in the white apologists that hate themselves and feel guilt for things they never did, and watch too much TV.But I know, to hell with citizens and legalities and due process. Let's not forget that Obama never took the oath to uphold to the Constitution. he is so well spoken but can't repeat a brief paragraph, and the next one no one on earth has any coverage or recording of. It all is crap. Add this to his crazy America hating "czars" that are illegal, and I don't have much enthusiam for President 23.5 billion for nothing at all in return.

And if you agree with his policies you are communist leaning. His mother was a radical communist. BTW, the population of the country is about 305 million. Looks like another rigged election to me, rigged by the people that are vested in the ruination and destruction of America's sovereignty.

So I guess broadcasting nightly news from inside the White House as with ABC is pure objectivity, huh? No bias at ALL there, eh?

Blacks voted for him because he was black. That's about 40 million right there

Uh huh. Blacks composed 13% of the voting population. About 130 million people voted. 13% of 130 million is not 40 million.

Uh huh. Blacks composed 13% of the voting population. About 130 million people voted. 13% of 130 million is not 40 million.

Yup more of that funny right wing math

Besides don't you know, Glen Beck fanatics would never let facts get in the way of a good delusion or conspiracy theory.

Why don't these people just get it over with and demand Glenn Beck run for president?

An investigative journalist. Such a lofty accolade should not be bestowed on such a lying toad of a man.

In a straight up match against Obama, Beck wouldn't even make it out of the starting blocks. Real talent vs. staged talent.

Beck has succommed to the age old celebrity killer:

He believes his own press releases.

Oh yes all 62 million of the commies that came out to vote for Obama.

Commies, the few, and dummies, the many, carried Obama. Not everyone should vote. Dummies and commies should stay home.

D.R.

When you comment like that, which is often, I picture you as an old crotchety crank, like those two crabby old men in "The Muppett Show".

Only....you're not funny.

DR,

Commies, the few, and dummies, the many, carried Obama. Not everyone should vote. Dummies and commies should stay home.

Actually, none should stay home. telling people not to vote is the bane of democracy ... we ve seen lower and lower voter turnouts in recent years because its been two rich ambulance chasing scumbags trying to divide up our tax dollars to one group of rich scumbags who supported them - frankly who cares .... Until people realize that they have the power to demand something better than crooks and clowns, weasels and perverts, that's exactly what we will get, and what we will deserve. Just cause it doesn't turn out the way you want it doesn't mean the process is bad.

In colonial new England they said:

"If you give up a little liberty to get a little security, you will lose both and deserve neither"

More relevent today than ever ....

When you comment like that, which is often, I picture you as an old crotchety crank, like those two crabby old men in "The Muppett Show".

I hope you are picturing me with my clothes on. You are funny, at best.

What a weak comeback. Nice try......

Actually, none should stay home. telling people not to vote is the bane of democracy

I stand by my assessment. Ignorant people should not vote. Urging ignorant people to vote is certain doom.

AZDADDY, you're still funny even though mean-spirited. Put the clothes back on your imaginary characters.

YOU call me mean-spirited?

That's a laugh! Since you've gone there, take a read of your own comments. D.R.

They are among the most mean-spirited on Newsvine.

I.M.O.

Some folks resign when they feel their past statements are causing undue distraction.

Nixon!

Others stay on indefinitely, despite their bad decisions and actual policy.

Bush!

Nixon was unusual as he was elected. He also actually did something wrong too.

I'm thinking more of the unelected folks that serve at the pleasure of others. (ahhrremm....Rumsfield)

Nice call though Sol!

I suppose some folks will want to throw Clinton in here. That's OK. Just remember, National interests and policy were not being crafted with a cigar under that desk.

I suppose some folks will want to throw Clinton in here. That's OK. Just remember, National interests and policy were not being crafted with a cigar under that desk.

I'll never understand the relevance of that whole debacle. Who the hell cared? Oh yeah, the moral republicans with all their family values, one of which was cheating on his wife while she was in the hospital battling cancer.

Oh yeah, the moral republicans with all their family values, one of which was cheating on his wife while she was in the hospital battling cancer.

Some Republicans have C Street to cleanse their souls. It costs them $90,000 but hey, that's the cost of a clean soul I guess. Remember John Edwards did this too though. The only difference is that Dems don't run around tear others apart for their sins and trespasses.

For some reason, it's OK if a Republican does it.

What happened to the normal Republicans?

Remember John Edwards did this too though. The only difference is that Dems don't run around tear others apart for their sins and trespasses.

Oh yes, Edwards did it too, and I personally think he's a piece of sh!t for doing so. But he wasn't trying to have the President impeached while he was having his affair. Could you imagine the screaming and gun toting republicans if something like that happened?

Ok, so Billy gets his d@ck wet while throwing together some legislation. So what? European premiers have mistresses, and it's perfectly acceptable in the eyes of their respective societies.

This is Sarkozy's former wife - the one he had before he married his mistress

This is Sarkozy's current wife, his former mistress

http://www.vipwallpaper.com/data/media/476/Carla_Bruni_004.jpg

He went to London with his new wife (Carla Bruni) to go market nude pictures of her most recent photo shoot. And they were both greeted by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

But America is the land of Jesus, where everyone is Christian and acts with Christian values and Christian love for their neighbor.

But he wasn't trying to have the President impeached while he was having his affair.

That would be Newt Gingrich. Creepity ole creep. How do these people get past a mirror without barfing?

Newt was the person I was referring to in Post 25.3. Such a hypocritical bastard, cheating on your extremely sick hospitalized wife while trying to have the president impeached for getting a BJ. Unbelievable IMO! And yes I know the President lied under oath. But the way I look at, I'm sure there's going to be many out there that won't agree with me but, he should have never, ever been asked the question he lied about to begin with. Unless of course it was from Hillary behind closed doors (she could have slapped him upside the head as far as I'm concerned). It was absolutely no ones business, period.

he should have never, ever been asked the question he lied about to begin with.

Agree. A gentleman would not have asked and if asked a gentleman would not have answered, even under oath.

krounded

That would be Newt Gingrich. Creepity ole creep. How do these people get past a mirror without barfing?

And don't forget that Newt Gingrich asked his wife for a divorce while she was in the hospital recuperating from cancer surgery. Talk about a find upstanding conservative christian republican. Gingrich like Sanford and Ensign were all screwing around while demanding that Clinton be impeached for getting a BJ and lying about it. Ensign's defense, I didn't lie about my affair...I just had my parents pay the lady (no taxes, by the way). Sanford's defense...I saved the state of South Carolina a lot of money. How dare you get mad at me for using the states money to fly to Argentina to have sex with my soul-mate mistress. Let us not forget to add the maverick John McCain to the list. He's just as bad, if not worse, than the others.

There are no upstanding politicians, whatsoever. remember that. There's 545 of them and they are doinbg all they can to screw us.

This is Sarkozy's former wife - the one he had before he married his mistress

I remember well when people were talking during the election about how beautiful Michelle Obama was.

Back in blighty, I kept thinking that, as pretty as she is, Sarkozy still wins in the MILF-tastic stakes with Bruni.

Wow, you cite two of your own articles as "undeniable proof" and "fact"? That'll get you an A on any research paper.

Rock on Sol!

This was nothing but a vendetta by Beck against Van Jones, the founder of the Color of Change. That Beck was able to intimidate the administration into not standing behind Jones is very scary indeed.

You know who sent me the Color of Change petition against Beck? A retired first grade teacher. Better not send those kiddies to school, goodness knows what the first grade teachers are passing on to them in America's democracy.

We should all be very afraid of a man who fights for justice, who has been open and honest about the worst America has to offer, who wants a 'green' revolution. I don't know, is Van Jones more scary than Glenn Beck? I don't think so.

I would like Glen to do a spot on Coast to Coast with Art Bell or George Noorey. It would be great to hear him really cut loose on his conspiracies. Also if you watch Beck long enough, you notice when he has a "serious" guest on, he really reigns it in and he will actually sit quiet for a few minutes and listen. That has to be absolute torture for this guy.

JERRY COLEMAN,

Ummmmmmmm I did NOT say this:

I have reached the sorry conclusion that, with a few exceptions like Glenn Beck, honest, investigative reporting is dead.

I said this:

Glenn Beck is no more of an investigative journalist than a prostitute trying to be a nun. Glenn Beck is a COMMENTATOR, a personality. He reads what's given him, plain and simple.

You've got your quotation marks in the wrong place, because I'm the one who said Glenn Beck is a commentator, not an investigative journalist
