Beck implores media to quit "looking at my past," calls Fox News "The Alamo for Truth"

"The Alamo for Truth", huh?

The irony is amazing.

Despicable Yellow Journalism? THAT IS RICH! I don't even know how this guy faces his kids, frankly. Help, what, Glen? Spread lies and hatred toward America and witch hunt and cheer when AMERICA has a set back? Re-FOUND America? We never lost it. YOU HAVE LOST IT. Quit spreading bile, then maybe your kids can look up in the future.

Glenn, you can't run away from who and what you really are...a nutty, but very lucky, A-Hole who's making an obscene amount of money duping a bunch of stupid, weak-minded people. Enjoy your money, Glenn...and quit your crying.

Mr. Beck,

The actual journalist have spent time proving you wrong. So have other private citizens, dads, concerned Americans, et al. But rather than accept that they've proven you wrong, your response has been to label them as socialist/facist/communist supporters... enemies of America... part of the problem. You don't accept criticism for all the times you've been wrong, you attack it. And then you defend those attacks with more of your factless rhetoric and even start crusades against those who have sought to and succeeded in proving you wrong.

You want journalists to go after the real stories? Fine, then accept that not everything which you believe is a real story actual is. Why is no one else covering [insert chosen crusade here]?

It could very well be because that's not an actual story.

I would love to see Danny McBride play Glenn in a movie...

I have been and remain completely against bringing the circumstances of his mother's death into the effort to expose Beck for what he is.

But aside from this, Beck's self martyrdom is as hollow and pathetic as any I've ever seen. Like other wealthy media heads, he doesn't identify with or give a ***t about the people who watch his show. He only cares that they do watch and the fat paychecks keep rolling in.

1) Pick someone who has bulit up a public image for themselves
2) Dig into their past and find past statements they have made or actions that they have done that are unusual.
3) Bring those statements/actions to light to discredit that persons public persona and crediblity
4) while discrediting that person draw weak connections suggesting that person is more infulental then they really are
5) use weak links to as justification for more digging into past to further discrediting.
6) repeat 4 and 5 as much as needed to discredit person.

Beck seems to be complaining that those 6 things are being done to him, thing is though I cant tell any difference between what Beck claims the Media is doing to him and what someone who will remain nameless *cough* Glenn Beck *cough* did to say: Van Jones, Deepak Bhargava, Rahm Emanual, Barack Obama, ect.


So this seems to me to be an example of "you can dish it out but you cant take it"

Sorry Glenn but in your case the sympathy meter is on empty.

When you look at it as whites fighting-off dark-skinned invaders, Beck's "Alamo" analogy makes sense.

Were it not for looking at people's pasts, Gwen would run out of material in about a week. This guy has spent months digging through everyone Obama ever knew looking to pin some crap on him by exposing things his associates did or said a decades ago.

What? Spend time disproving your claims instead of talking about your past?

Seems like we do that every day around here, you just don't agree with the analysis and never make a correction. And CNN has occasionally picked some of your lies up, and Keith and Rachel are always on it over at MSNBC.

When people are public figures as influential as you are, Glenn, the public looks at their pasts. That's what being a public figure means. I don't condone baseless speculation about anyone's death, but we're going to look at your past. You do it with malice to innocent administration officials every day, you giant hypocrite. If you can't handle the scrutiny, get out of the spotlight. It's that simple.

Well, I think Mr. Beck makes it clear as day that he wants emails might expose corruption. Key word is "might". He'll report it as truth regardless (after checking with the University of I Don't Remember, of course).

Have fun. :^)

This is really hypocritical of Beck, and Fox News in general.

Jeez, Beck, it's okay for you to say you want to Poison, Pelosi; it's okay for you to say that Obama is a racist, but if someone makes fun of you act like a child, and bitch, and moan about it?

You can dish it out, but you can't take it.

I think Danny McBride would do beautifully in the role of Glenn Beck, in a movie or skit...

"I'm just a Dad doing this for my kids."
What is threatening his kids exactly? Obama songs?

Beck implores media to quit "looking at my past," . . .

. . . says the same people who constantly bring up Jeremiah Wright, William Ayres, the Madrassa, etc. . .

If Fox News ("Propabanda Machine" should be added to their title) is the "Alamo"--well didn't all of the defenders of the Alamo die in a battle that was a complete waste of resources, time, and people?

First, he is not "just a private citizen." He is unequivocally a *public figure*. Second, I don't care if he's "just a dad." How many people whose lives he is trying to destroy are a dad or a mom? As for his comments about his mother's death, it was not an unequivocal suicide, and perhaps if he really wants it to be a private matter, he should not use it to try to score points for himself.

As for Fox being "The Alamo," if this guy has any sense of history, I guess he doesn't expect it to end well for Fox.

Excuse me while I pray to the porcelin god! (Inmitating vomiting sound!)

one word...HYPOCRISY..

Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican/conservative.

Wow, I don't know when I've seen a better performance by a rodeo clown. If Glenn doesn't get an Emmy for this he never will. Bravo Glenn!!

I'm just a mom doing this for my kids, and unlike you, Mr. Beck, for whom family is supposed to be sacred, I only have one family. You don't tell the truth, you lie, and if you would lie about your mother. what else would you lie about? You invent stories and scream that no one is covering them but you, well, maybe you shouldn't be creating distractions. Because, really, that IS what you are doing. You are distracting your viewers from the real crimes being carried out by the corporations who hold your leash. And if you aren't a journalist, and you don't have to check facts, then you shouldn't be claiming that your lies and distortions are real. And if you are goint to hold people accountable for their words and actions 15-30 years ago, then Mr. Beck, it takes a lot of chutzpah to order other people off of your back. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and maybe your goose deserves to be cooked. And when you demand that the media stop the "dispicable yellow journalism, maybe you should stop first, and buddy, you aren't a private citizen, you are a public figure with a bully pulpit, so stuff the moral indignation and quit being disingenuous.

Is this a reverse psychology thing? I mean if you're elevated enough to be in the media's sight in the first place, then telling them to ignore you isn't what they do. It's like telling someone not to look down from a high place ... they always look down. So, in short, all I hear is "everyone, look at me".

Once more, Glum Bleek proves he doesn't know American history.

One of the essential issues behind the fight by Texas for independence from Mexico was slavery. Slavery was illegal in Mexico; cotton plantations had ruined the soil in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi - slavery was moving West and heading for Texas.

Yes, in large part the defenders of the Alamo died to keep slavery in Texas.

And Mr. Bleek recently advocated that abscure Constitutional provison that promoted slavery in the US? Now he's 2 for 2.

For the Love of Pete. Was this eight ball crying again? I thought he got off of the cocaine. This guy is about to have a stroke or a melt down. Think of the ratings Faux would get if this idiot started to cry then started having convulsions on air. He is one demented man and if he wants the world to quit hating him, he needs to shut up.

Quit looking at HIS past? Sorry, Beck, if you're going to throw made-up outrage about other folks' past, you need to suck it up and accept the fact that your past is fair game.

Yes, remember the Alamo!*

* Disclaimer: all but two of the Texian militia against the Mexican revolutionaries died.**

How can you possibly prove a madman wrong? You'd become mad yourself!
