Glenn Beck began his Fox News show today by criticizing Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) for saying “I hunger for quality news. I'm tired of the right and the left. There's a little bug inside of me, which wants to get the FCC to stay to Fox and to MSNBC 'out, off, end, good-bye.' ”
Beck used the comments to attack David Rockefeller, who he said was the senator's “father” and segued into an attack on President Obama and George Soros, claiming that they too, were trying to accomplish the radical dreams of their fathers.
Here's the thing: David Rockefeller is Sen. Rockefeller's uncle, not his father. If Beck had checked the Rockefeller Archives Center or even Wikipedia, he would have learned that Sen. Rockefeller -- whose full name is John D. Rockefeller IV -- is the son of John D. Rockefeller III (obviously).
Beck has claimed that “some of the best minds in America” do his research. The question is, why do they fail him again and again and again again? (Maybe it's a conspiracy.
