Glenn Beck, Worlds Stupidest Person???

[Smiling JOe]

I listen to a very wide mix, and I try to remember that most, have an agenda of their own. I do listen to NPR and while I think there are some shows on there which have liberal hosts, most seem to leave that at the door before they go on air. There is some good quality on there, and much of the "news" reports on there seem fairly neutral. I can listen to only so much NPR because they loop it too much.

There are a few pseudo-conservative talk shows to which I also listen, but I usually do so to try and get a different perspective. Bless the poor child who listens to only one source, and takes it for the truth. It is so easy for these guys to cut and paste clips, and they could make Mother Theresa look like she was stealing from the church, if they wanted to do so. Keep an open mind, and know that the truth is often boring, and embellished so that it can make the "news." Don't get me wrong -- there is plenty of non-boring political crap which is newsworthy, and it needs no embellishment.

Like Tootsie, most days, I would rather sit on the beach and contemplate the clouds in the sky than to try and analyze the "news" broadcasters or the news. So much of the crap they report doesn't physically effect us, and we should keep in focus, the things which do.

Because the liberal audience is out getting laid and living life, not sitting on the couch masturbating to the hate and saliva spewing morons.

I love gordhead too.

I agree - the tasteless tv/radio talk shows get old fast. life is way too short. stress is not good for your health. bad programs = bad energy spread to good people.

Tasteless forum posting is a different story entirely?

I listen to NPR. Morning Edition is the most biased show - particularly Steve Inskeep. Fresh Air because of Terry Gross runs a close second. The rest seem to be able to keep it under control for the most part. Nina Totenburg occasionally lets her bias show too much.

I think All Things Considered is one of the best shows anywhere. I also always enjoy The Diane Rehm Show. Both are very well done and always professional.

NPR has always had a liberal bias but you could tell they tried to compensate for it. In fact they did an excellent job until this last Presidential election. Particularly this year it has gotten more obvious. Maybe it is related to the budget cuts they have suffered. I've had to e-mail them on two occasions this year to let them know the line had been crossed. No doubt I was not the only listener to do so.

I was going to say that Terry Gross is an outstanding interviewer and I don't know how anyone can say she is biased. but then I remembered. Bill O'Reilly. did his best in the interview to remain calm and rational but then his irate self won out in the end. he hung up - literally terminated the interview. turned out to be pretty thin skinned for such an outspoken tv/radio personality. I gotta hear that one again! yes, Terry is a good one. she may actually be a lefty (I've never thought about it - I just enjoy her interviews so much)- or just maybe she recognizes BS when she sees it.

Whoa...that was scary. Has Glenn Beck always been this bizarre? Katie C. was great.

LS...did you squirm as much as Beck did...I have never seen anything like that! :shock:

See, after watching that video, even more people buy into his mission.

I am not very familiar with Beck. Is this a joke?

In this interview he appears as loony as some of the marchers in the video below. I am sure there were marchers there who did know what was going on and could have carried on a legit conversation, but this was too many screwballs for me! ..Some of the best/worst comments are at the end.

Listening to the Beck/Couric interview shows me where they may get some of the craziness. Talk about evading the question. Beck simply had no answer and couldn't think on his feet.
