This week, Glenn Beck compared Detroit to Hiroshima after it was hit by an atomic bomb, claiming that “progressive policies” have “killed Detroit.”
Now two Detroit pastors are reaching out to Beck, proposing to meet with him and give him a fuller picture of their city.

Detroit Pastors Challenge Glenn Beck
Two Detroit pastors are now trying to give Beck a clearer perspective. Reverend Horace Sheffield and Reverend Charles Williams were in New York City for a previous commitment and decided to seek out Beck to talk with him.
“We indicated that we weren't here to rant and rave and jump on tables but we thought there was another side to the story that's often ignored in these negative portrayals and pounding on Detroit,” Sheffield said.

“Detroit is much more than the few vignettes that were shown. I mean, Detroit is a city that could have gone down the tubers if people had not stayed inside and fought and the last is going to be first. So just stay tuned, we're not through yet,” Sheffield said.
Reverend Sheffield and Reverend Williams are now looking forward to meeting with Fox News officials to talk about the side of Detroit that was not seen in Glenn Beck's presentation.
