Glen Beck is the latest lightening rod, but he is not the last incarnation of hate/ignorance wrapped in commercial success. I would be scared if it wasn’t for the fact that this has been a part of our nation’s history and so-called ‘debate’ since the beginning. I am sure that there were people like Glen Beck amongst the original Tea Partiers. Besides, didn’t those guys try to disguise themselves as native americans? Another example of blaming/framing the ‘others’…
Not sure if I heard it here or elsewhere.
Smart people listen to NPR, left leaners listen to NPR. We like listening to multiple views from multiple people (exactly what this show caters to), right leaners and stupid people like to listen to one person, so its just one perspective. that’s why there is a lack of “glen becks of the left”. Lefties don’t want it.
Review on ITunes
Thanks for another great episode of your fine content aggregation stylings.
We seem to have an over-saturation of bad or dis-information. And almost no readily available independent news.
