Rightwing nut on "liberal" CNN!
I never really believed it myself, but there is a common misconception that CNN qualifies as liberal media. Sure it's editorial stance is to openly favor the Democrats over the Republics, notwithstanding the universally pro-Bush jingoism suffered by America since after 9/11 . That places CNN slightly to the left of Fox News. About two inches to the left of Fox.
It seems that CNN, just like most American networks, are very perturbed to be left behind by Fox in flag waving, xenophobia and open bigotry. 'CNN International' does not have this nut Glenn Beck on the air just yet. In the United States of Jesusland, however, 'CNN Headline' News has picked up this far right wing loonie and have given him a prime time show! How wonderful! Now CNN has a Bill O'Riley to call their very own!
The President of CNN Headline News, Ken Jautz, has described Gleen Beck as “self-deprecating” and “cordial” and went on to say that his show is “conversational, not confrontational”(1). If this is cordial and conversational, I wonder what CNN considers hostile and confrontational?
Perhaps by CNN standards, a Primetime host should have to openly broadcast his desire to kill people he disagrees with to be considered hostile? Or maybe even that is not enough. Consider this quote by Glenn Beck regarding the “documentary” maker Michael Moore: “I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out--is this wrong?”(2)
Yet as you will have noted in this video, he suggests that Muslims are too violent and too reactionary to even talk to!
If any other examples of his bigotry are needed check this one out
“you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims' families? Took me about a year.... But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9/11 victims.... And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags--and again, it's not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out! It's just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they're getting all the attention.” (3)

Yeah, this guy is a loony. Normally at the gym they have the TVs tuned to either CNN or Fox News, and picking the lesser of two evils, I keep my eyes on CNN. However, much to my amazement, this Glenn Beck dude is, like you say, no better than O'Reilly, who I loathe, detest, despise, abhor, etc. You'd think with a network that can boast such talented reporters like Christianne Amanpour, Cooper Anderson, and Wolf Blitzer, they wouldn't resort to their own version of a right-wing ranter. And really, the liberal media thing is now merely a legend, a relic of a bygone era when, for example, in the times of McCarthy and the Communist witch hunt, some reporter did expose the truth. Like John Mayer says in his song, "When they own the truth, oh they can spin it all they want." Truth and history is written by the victors and the rich.
Glen Beck is great! Liberals don't like him because he makes them look stupid. Liberals are just a bunch of cry babies who serve the slackers of society and work against the people who actually who succeed in life. Glen Beck knows this and it simply pisses of those fruity libs.
Glen is just another noecon tool. He'll sell is own mother to satiate the noecon agenda. Just like O'Lielly and Rush 'oxy-boy' Limpd*ck, half of what he says can discarded has propaganda and outright lies.
