Beck, long before his venture into political commentary, he was all about humor and comedy, his radio show years ago was quite funny.
I bet the time he called a rival's wife and mocked her miscarriage live on the air was one of your favorites. Boy does he know comedy.
Oh yeah.
That was when Beck took a page right out of Howard Stern's how to be a shock jock unwritten manual.
I think Beck believed he could be the next Howard Stern (King of all Media) back then, maybe he still does??

I see some comments here supporting Glenn Beck and I find it absolutely astounding that people cannot just step back and see that this is propaganda in its very purest form. Now I know that Beck may be saying things that some people here agree with, but how can anybody not hear alarm bells going off when subjected to this attempted manipulation, its insane.
Beck always told listeners and viewers not to take his word for anything but to research everything for themselves. How is that manipulating? You NEVER hear anyone else say that, they insist you believe what you are hearing or seeing. So what are you talking about? Beck spoke the truth about all of the interworkings and behind the scenes deals our media and govt. have going on everyday that no one would have ever put together without him.

Be that as it may, you need to listen to all sides, some liberal msm/cable, some conservative msm/cable, a smattering of libertarian and just little bit of far out there, then make up your own mind. Although I'm sometimes guilty, being a parrot for any one point of view seems to the unthinking, irrational and ignorant.

I do believe Beck is moving to Texas, the home of the next President of the United States. He will not have to pay outlandish state income taxes like he did in New York.

Have a look at what 'propaganda' actually is. It is irrelevant as to whether the facts somebody like Beck (or Jones for that matter) presents are true or not, it is the twist or spin they apply to these facts to steer the viewer to make the conclusions that they(Beck,Jones) wish, this is manipulation. If you cannot recognize this kind of manipulation when you see it you are in trouble, conversely if you think that there is nothing wrong with these tactics then your moral compass is f**ked.edit on 2-7-2011 by seabhac-rua because: (no reason given)

You're still caught up with the left versus right arguement. That's simply a distraction to mask the real war: elitists versus populists, class warfare.
