Why the hell does Glenn Beck even have a job?
Edited on Thu Nov-01-07 09:07 PM by Botany
1) He is bone stupid

2) His facts and figures are off so often it is not funny

3) He twists things so as to fit an agenda i.e. A car wrecks in front
of a church = Islamo fascists trying to kill White Americans.

************************************************************

BTW I only see him for a minute or so daily and hear him on the radio in
Ohio (clear channel dumped Steph Miller and gave us Glen & Dennis Miller)
for about 3 minutes every 2 weeks .... but he is soooooooooooo
fucking wrong and yet he gets big $ and tons of air time.

1. because the uninformed and otherwise
either watch or listen to him. That's why.

I don't watch or listen, and have no clue what he says.

I like it that way.

2. Everyone needs a job.
But he should be a suburban high school wrestling coach spending his day tormenting young Republicans.

4. A Repug friend of mine loves the guy
he says he tells it like it is. He also worships Micheal (Wiener) Savage so we don't talk politics. Dennis F---ing Miller has a radio program, every right wing nut job has a talk show now.

8. Apparently CNN Headline News channel
wants to lose their credibility. That, and they want to steal away some Fox viewers.

10. Because he is the face of M$M reporting in the new millennium.
Batshit crazy, pathological, narrow-minded, massive self-loathing issues. He is perfect for all the unreal news we hear today from the major unreal news outlets.

12. He is sucking the right dicks?
The recent trend is that neo-conservative bigots are deep-in-the-closet-homosexuals, and Glen Beck is definitely a neo-conservative bigot. Either he is blackmailing someone, or he was very good at the couch call. Excuse me, I mean casting call.

13. It's all an act
He says utterly stupid shit on the air just to get reactions.

Only thing is, he's not very good at it. He merely comes out looking like a complete ass. I highly doubt he believes any of the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. Taking what he says seriously only gives him more credibility.

Perhaps all that booze and coke he did years back has rotted away at his brain.

14. I don't think he looks like a complete ass. I think he actually is a complete ass.
I guess I'm too narrow minded to understand why/how people can watch him. I just don't get it.

22. I think it's an act, too
Edited on Thu Nov-01-07 09:41 PM by Neecy
My sister - a good liberal Democrat - used to listen to his show occasionally in the car. Apparently he didn't used to be a complete and total wingnut and tried to come across as somewhat right-of-center.

This makes me wonder why he acts so batshit insane on CNN - unless that's exactly what they want? Because his crap fits in with their corporate agenda? I stopped watching CNN when Headline News - which used to actually have *news* - put this clown on the air. It offends and insults me.

20. Beck keeps his show on the air...
the same way Ann Coulter keeps her books on the shelves.

They're getting help from right-wing groups who want to shove their agenda down our throats.

They buy Coulter's books by the pallet, and they engineer ad buys for their talk show personalities like Beck so even though nobody listens to them, and everyone thinks they're trash, they stay on the air.
