Beck Rates Health Reform as 9/11 Attack
Glenn Beck's found a new way to frame his opposition to heath Care reform, and this one's a doozy: It's a terrorist attack. A decade ago “I could have shouted every single day about Osama bin Laden,” the Fox News commentator said, “and nobody would have been willing to stand in line two hours while some security officer made grandma take her shoes off.” But now “ America has changed,” and the 9/12ers aren't going to let it happen again—in the US...

Ex Fox News Pundit: Glenn Beck is -Way Over the Top' and -Scary': VIDEO
October 26, 2009 (ChatahBox)—Jane Hall, a contributor to FOX News for over a decade, former journalist and media professor, said she left the conservative FOX News network, because she became appalled at Glenn Beck’s on air vitriolic rants, calling him “scary.” Hall, appearing on CNN's Reliable Sources program on Sunday, hosted by Howie Kurtz, also condemned FOX News for gradually removing even the appearance of legitimate debate from its programs, to instead highlight...

Former Fox News pundit: Glenn Beck -way over the top,' 'scary'
A former FOX News pundit joined the debate over the network's journalistic ethics, and she's singled out one personality in particular. Former FOX News pundit Jane Hall, who now works as an associate professor at American University, said on Sunday's edition of CNN's Reliable Source that the decline of actual debate and the emergence of Glenn Beck is why she left the network. "There's less of a debate and I'm uncomfortable with Beck, who should be called out as somebody whose language is way...

John Stossel: 'Suddenly, Now that I am at Fox, Critics are Leaping to Attack Me': VIDEO
Before most of the Election Day results started coming in last night, Bill O'Reilly took some time to talk with FBN's John Stossel about the criticism he got in this New York Times story for speaking to anti-Health Care reform forums organized by the group Americans for Prosperity. O'Reilly said it comes with the territory: " Glenn Beck found this out very quickly when he came over from CNN... when you're here, you're a target, just by association." "You committed a Cardinal sin of all time,"...

Media differentiate Beck's "opinions" from Wallace's "news," but record shows Wallace repeatedly echoes Beck
In discussing the Obama Administration's recent criticisms of Fox News, several media figures have argued that Glenn Beck's show and other Fox News' "opinion" programming are separate and distinct from the "news" programming of Chris Wallace and others and should be viewed as such. However, Wallace has repeated several of the same falsehoods and attacks that Glenn Beck has, including fearmongering about Health Care rationing. Media claim there are "two different Fox Newses," distance Wallace...

Glenn Beck Sides With PETA, Decries Meatless Mondays, Hammers Gore: VIDEO
Glenn Beck is several layers of crazy, but he does have a point when it comes to Al Gore and eating meat. For the longest time, PETA has been urging Gore to address factory farming as detrimental to the environment — and promote a more vegetable-friendly diet as one big way to help “save the planet”. Beck uses this argument to tackle Gore in the aftermath of comments by UK Climate Chief Lord Stern, who yesterday urged people to go vegetarian . “Meat is a wasteful use of...

Onion mocks: -Victim in fatal car accident tragically not Glenn Beck'
Even FOX pundit Glenn Beck will probably laugh at this one. A satiric Onion News Network video reports on "a grisly death that only TV host Glenn Beck could deserve." An honor student, who the fake news broadcast repeatedly refers to as "not Glenn Beck," was said to have been the victim in a fatal car accident. "I heard screaming and I thought it was just someone doing an accurate impression of Glenn Beck normally," a purported witness claims. The alleged victim "loved to dance and hated Glenn...

Fox Anchor Gets Feisty Over Democratic Invocation of "Fair and Balanced" Tagline [VideUhOh]
The setup: FOX Anchor Gregg Jarret 's talking at Democratic New Jersey Rep. Rob Andrews about constitutional powers and requirements for insurance. It slides into debating the Framers' intent.

Beck's Silent Red Phone Is 'a Hotline to Nowhere'
Glenn Beck claims that the red phone on his desk is a direct line to The White House, but it's a hotline to nowhere, just like the Fox host's whole schtick. Beck complains piteously that White House libbers won't call to reassure him that the administration isn't rife with commies, Thomas Frank writes in the Wall Street Journal . But Frank spoke to some of Beck's recent targets and not one of them received the "hotline" number.

Things Glenn Beck Looks Like: PHOTO
Recently, I saw another clip of Glenn Beck's histrionics, and it made me sad for modern journalism. If you can just bitch, cry, and make up things, what's the point of journalism school? Then it made me realize, Glenn Beck looks like a lot of things. Except a journalist. And this is a list of them.

Thomas Frank asserts Beck's red phone "really symbolizes a new kind of ignorance"
From Frank's November 3 Wall Street Journal column : Glenn Beck, the popular Fox News host, has a red telephone on his desk that never seems to ring. Every now and then, in a moment of acute frustration, he will pick it up and give the camera his trademark pleading-puppy look. What Mr. Beck wants to hear from the phone are answers, and he wants to hear them from the highest authority in the land: the phone, he says, is "a dedicated line right to The White House." And when Mr. Beck gets things...

Glenn Beck And The Red Scare Revival
Recently, we have witnessed some remarkable rhetoric coming from conservatives in the U.S. Most notable are Glenn Beck's repeated claims that President Obama is a closet communist. These charges remain unsubstantiated. But they have nevertheless been echoed by other conservative pundits and have circulated throughout the conservative blogosphere. The language in each instance suggests the same scenario: that Obama's official policies are a cover for a shadow conspiracy, determined to...

Andrew Sullivan is Incensed [Politics]
Well, that happens once every hour or so. But this time he's angry at Anita Dunn , the mean White House Communications Director who hates Glenn Beck and loves Chairman Mao . Earlier this year, Dunn spoke to a class of graduating high school students and asked them to go fight a war in Calcutta as per the recommendations of her "two favorite moral philosophers" Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa. While it is not known what became of these newly militant American schoolchildren armed with maps, Fox...

NY-23: Early Results
The early votes are beginning to trickle in for New York's 23rd District where Democratic candidate Bill Owens is up against the teabagging Doug Hoffman. This is really a win-even-if-we-lose situation. If Owens wins, we take a district that has been in Republican hands for more than 100 years, with the added bonus of teabaggers everywhere declaring open war against the Republican Party with even more far right primary challenges to any Republican who doesn't toe the whack-a-doodle Glenn Beck...

Is The Tea Party Over?
The tea partiers are launching the revolution. This week. But will anyone actually show up? On Sunday, Rep. Michele Bachmann challenged viewers of Sean Hannity’s Fox News show to join her last-ditch attempt to kill Health Care reform. The fiery Minnesota Republican plans to hold a press conference at "high noon" on Thursday. She urged Americans to flood the halls of Congress that day, find their elected officials, "look at the whites of their eyes and tell them, 'don't you...
