Now, he's quoting some ridiculous article from Pravda? Are you kidding me?
Talk about "dumbed down."
As Mr. Beck says, he's human, and he makes mistakes. I just wish for once he would apologize for his mistakes. For instance, it might be nice for Mr. Beck to apologize for devoting time on his show to the opinions of Stanislav Mishin, a shamelessly homophobic blogger who takes pride in Russia's refusal to be tolerant of homosexuals.
Well Glenn, I look at the screenshot above -- and I'm not so sure.
About you, that is.
"Danger, Will Robinson!!"
If they ever try to do it with a live cast, he has my vote.
The "human" part is the least important facet of this item and is clearly not MMFA's point of conention.
1) Media Matters is specifically mentioned. That alone gives MMFA license to write about it.
2) Glenn Beck is citing Pravda...Pravda!
Oh, and Pravda Online really has precious little to do with the Pravda of the Soviet era. It is more a Murdoch style tabloid.
I think that we, by paying attention to it, might be giving it more power and legitimacy than it deserves. People like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly are not concerned about this country, they are concerned about fattening their wallets no matter what the cost to everyone else.
What I'd like to see Media Matters try as an experiment over the summer is focusing more on the MSM. There's enough wrong with the MSM without giving it a pass by making it look good in comparison to Fox.
Who knows, it might be a nice summer break to ignore the loons for a couple of months and carefully examine that part of the media most Americans rely on for their information.
Maybe, but by simply watching a clip on the internet, we are not being exposed to his sponsors.
Fool me once shame on you....fools me everyday???????.....well shame on us.
I wouldn't really call that lashing out; If anything that was more of a snap. AND glenn beck being snippy with people who call him on his BS isn't always worth the space it takes up on your website.
