unfortunately, there are always people who need others to think for them. and off of these simpletons, the likes of beck cash in.
You are conveniently forgetting Billo's tirades against GE and Beck's "investigative reporting" on the secret communist propaganda hidden in the murals at Rockefeller Center.
If MSNBC doesn't matter at all, the are they and you whining about it all the time?

Glenn Beck is a self-limiting problem. He'll eventually vanish in a puff of logic.
The day you actually tie something together correctly, will be the day Glenn Beck rules as the Supreme Overlord.
Does anyone in this thread realize that it was started by a 911 twoofer?
It doesn't matter. The comparison to Alex Jones is apt regardless of who poses it. You think all arguments are answered by impugning the speaker, but in a bare logical sense, this is false 100% of the time.
Just thought it was ironic that a twoofer is talking negatively about a conspiracy.
That said, doesn't anyone realize why Beck went after Van Jones?
The narcissism of small differences?
Thanks to the government, yes
Wrong answer. Van Jones' group, Color of Change (nice), was calling for an advertising boycott against Beck because of Beck's calling "the one" a racist. I think this was all about revenge. But, all the dirt on Jones is true.
Yeah. He's busy calling people the worst people in the world(on every freakin show) instead of actually investigating topics the mainstream media simply does not cover. If he were to do that and it's genuine than maybe I'd take him serious. A wee bit. Has anyone in the media during the last 10 years been able to cause someone to step down that's so close to the president? Without a fight, no less…
Matter of opinion, I'd say. There are more similarities b/w Glenn Beck and Alex Jones than there are differences. FEMA camps, the persecution of Christians, continual, paranoid allegations of fascism and the incipience of a police state. Irrational passion, monomaniacal self-promotion. Birds of a feather IMO.
Glenn Beck has lost a number of advertisers over it, so there's something to it. Van Jones hurt Glenn Beck where he lives, or at least may have fostered that impression.Van Jones' group, Color of Change (nice), was calling for an advertising boycott against Beck because of Beck's calling "the one" a racist.

The left went after Beck's sponsors. Rupert felt the need to send the message "Don't with my wallet".
BigOil, BigCoal hates green anything. They paid their astroturf mobs (aka losers) and fabricated a mob lynching to intimidate anybody else who might try to push a green agenda for Magik Negro.
And the pe ion demanding transparency of the Repug Exec from 1/20 to 9/11 was hitting awfully close the truth-y tender spot of why the Repugs DID NOTHING about terrorism, hoping for an attack as a pretext to invade Iraq for oil, as they promised to do (but during the 2000 campaign) in the 1990s.
beck has repeatedly said that he never stated there were ever any FEMA concentration camps. in fact he proved that the video of the supposed FEMA claim was a fake and was stupid. twice. jones is a little more militant than beck in my opinion.
A little bit, yes.
But he reported the FEMA camp thing as a plausibilty backing up his police state assumptions before he walked it back.
His subsequent denials are not persuasive to me. His job is to stoke fear. That's what he was doing, even if he didn't explicitly lend his own credibility to the reports. At first, he wasn't giving the issue oxygen in order to debunk it. He was letting it breathe.
BigNose hates BigBoogers
An advertising boycott against Fox News host Glenn Beck has succeeded in keeping most major sponsors from running commercials on his show even as the controversial commentator's viewership has grown.
Beck attracted 2.81 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched on Fox News in January, according to Nielsen Media Research data provided by the network. On Tuesday, nearly 2.7 million viewers tuned in, his fifth-largest viewership to date. And the conservative host got a plug from former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.
“FOX News' Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House,” she wrote Wednesday to her 800,000-plus supporters.
Color of Change, an African American political advocacy group, organized the boycott last month to protest Beck’s comment that he believes President Obama is a racist. The group succeeded in securing commitments from at least 36 companies that have pledged not to advertise on his show, including Wal-Mart and Sprint. Some, such as AT&T and Procter & Gamble, were not Beck advertisers to begin with, but their ads had mistakenly appeared on the program. Representatives from those companies reiterated their request not to have spots during his show. Later today, Color of Change plans to announce six more companies that also are declining to be Beck advertisers.
As a result, few major businesses remain as sponsors of Beck’s eponymous 2 p.m. PDT program. On Wednesday, the only big companies with a presence during his show were Bank of America and the Wall Street Journal, whose parent company News Corp. also owns Fox News. The rest of the commercials included spots for gold seller Rosland Capital; Ashley Furniture Home Store; Empire Carpet; Liberty Medical, a diabetes medical supplier; Johnson Law Group, an asbestos litigation firm; “Shadow Government,” a new book critical of Obama published by the National Republican Trust; and the anti-tax group TeaPartyExpress.org.
Fox News insists that the boycott has not affected its revenue, because advertisers have just moved their commercials to different time periods. And for his part, Beck appears invigorated by the challenge. “Even if the powers to be right now succeed in making me poor, drum me out … I will only be stronger for it,” he said on the air Wednesday. “And I will use American ingenuity and my ingenuity to pull myself up, and I will find another way to get this message out, on a platform that will be a thousand times more powerful. Because of my faith, I know how this story ends. The truth will set you free.”
The in-house analysis says Fox hasn't been hurt by it. What a surprise.
you obviously can't read, but to each their own.
I saw the initial broadcast. It doesn't comport with the subsequent denials.
I hope you'll forgive me for not accepting your version of the aftermath as authoritative. It's only part of the story.
so if someone accuses you of being a child molester are you just going to go along with it? just take it?
