Glenn Beck and the rise of Fox News' militia media

[ccbatson]

The public is getting wise to the liberal media....hence the descent of viewership there, and the rise of Fox, conservative talk radio, and conservative internet outlets.

[Detroitej72]

Its time to drop this "liberal media" lie. That tag applys to MSNBC, but certainly not the mainstream media. That is yet another lie promoted by the right.

[ghettopalmetto]

simple addition versus being force fed propaganda that is rampant throughout liberal media.
Also the blatant way the liberal media refuses to report on numerous things.

Okay, got it. Glenn Beck's opinions are based on the "truth", which you have verified by determining that the "truth" is merely the opposite of what you think is wrong.

In other words, you're making shit up.

[ghettopalmetto]

Making things up? No, I know how to detrmine facts and fiction something zombies don't.

By the way, could u start using that ignore function please. Im starting to tire of your wimping liberal twisted logic.

I would be happy if you could just write in complete sentences that use diction from the English language. Aim low before you reach for some of that higher-hanging fruit.

[Detroitej72]

Yea ok. What a joke. Now u want to throw msnbc under the bus when they start getting the bad rap eh? Where will Rachael [[spittle all over Hillary ) Cow show up next? ABC? CBS? CNN>? print? God knows when Air America flapped she just got sent over toi their affiliate.

Oops,,,,,,,,oh my bad! I wasn't supposed to let anyone know that most of the media is owned by liberals .

MSNBC is primarily designed to be the left's version of Fox News.

And there you go again, with your needless name calling. Not sure why you have so much bile towards Rachel Maddow, she is one of the nicest political commentators.. Maybe you wish you could be be like her?

[Detroitej72]

Eh? Nicest you say? Oh you must have some of that special super duper okie dokie strantagulous kool-aid they are handing out over there.

Can I have some ? Maybe I can hallucinate with u guys.

This from the right, who continuiously drink the kool-aid their gods at Fox and AM radio serve.

Roch, you should take a page from Bats, he is always civil and never resorts to name calling when engaged in a debate.

I'm guessing you will be banned from the forum soon, as you seem to be a loose cannon, who cannot resist mean-spirited attacks on those with whom you disagree.

[ccbatson]

Quick test...take a liberal, sit him/her in front of Fox for 30 minutes, and then measure the mood and BP [[depressed and elevated). Now, do the same for any of the liberal media outlets [[take your pick)...mood stable and BP unchanged? The liberal agrees/is not upset at all by the latter, and therefore it is liberal biased.

I'm not even sure you can say that Roch disagrees with anyone. For all of his insistence on the truth, he hasn't posted a single fact in 36 attempts.

[ccbatson]

A discussion forum...discussion, not a courtroom. Lame attempt at dissing Roch.

[ccbatson]

Where is it that you say Roch is name calling?

Only of public figures and libs do that all the time here [[GWB is their favorite target).

[ccbatson]

If you haven't read Mark Levin's new book Roch...you must do yourself a huge favor and do so.

[ejames01]

DetroitRoch is trolling.

there is only one "liberal" media outlet - msnbc. the rest are as right-wing and corporatist as Fox only more subtle, using neo-con terminology, phrasing the debate in right-wing terms

[ccbatson]

SM...the prohibition is intended for calling posters on this forum names, not groups of people.

Speaking of rules, best to watch the personal attacks and identifications off of here, a clear violation, both in practice and intent.

Notice you are the only one trying to "sneak" that stuff in...for good reason...maturity and discretion.

[ccbatson]

Who? Mark Levin? His book is the best seller for 8 weeks running now. California turning down socialist taxation, and polls are encouraging for a conservative revival and a return to liberty in upcoming elections. Hopefully we can survive until then.

[Lorax]

What is happening here is the fascist take over of the airwaves, as has been the custom since Reagan's shredding of the Fairness Doctrine on his way out the door. This combined with Clinton's hands off approach to the media gave rise to Faux Noise, Fear Channel Communi[[st)cations, etc.

Glenda Speck is nothing more than a rodeo clown, who, on The View yesterday, admitted he was no journalist [[like that was really news) and did not research his facts or stories.

He's lucky to have found a friend in the Austrailian fascist Rupert Murdoch, from whom he takes his talking points, just like the Manatee and others.

Now with the Murdoch Street Journal poisioning the financial media, we have a loud, fascist right wing dominated media, all of which is conservative, save perhaps MSNBC, which the right is so hysterical over, but at the same time claims has no viewership. Go figure.

The problem with all of this is there are actually people who are socially retarded enough to watch, and worse, believe this values voter's vomit spewed by some really dumb individuals. Just watch Fox & Friends for a daily dose of drivel.

[ccbatson]

Define Fascism please? Does it include freedom of speech/expression? If not...you contradict yourself fatally.

[Lorax]

Take a look in the mirror.

How does that work for you?

If you really need a definition, you are completely lost.

Your Fox Friends like to re-define words, and you have been told Obama is everything from a fascist, communist, socialist, pinko, etc, etc.

And of course your pea sized brain believes it.

Fascism is the co-mingling of government and corporate interests, which is what we had full-tilt under the Tushies.

Hitler and Mussolini were fascists, not social democrats as Poopert Murdoch would have you believe. They started out lying about what their political agenda was, and morphed into what we all know they were- evil fascists.

Tush/Cheney campaigned as compassionate conservatives, which I guess if you believe compassionate involves allowing 9/11 to happen, murdering over a million Iraquis, etc, and being conservative involves raping and plundering the national treasury, then I guess you have your answer.

Tush/Cheney lied, millions died.

[ccbatson]

Hitler and Mussolini were fascists indeed.....nationalist, militarist, expansionist, collectivist/socialist [[including corporate socialism where they control businesses), using crisis [[real or imagined) to grab power for the supposed sake of "the people" while making said "people" the oppressed prisoners of their regimes.....sound familiar to you Obamaphiles? It should.

[Lorax]

You're describing the Bush Crime Family to a tee. Thank you for clarifying that.

[ccbatson]

Not expansionist, not militaristic [[apart from defensive military use), CERTAINLY NOT collectivist, and terrorism is certainly not imagined.

Look closer at Obama for an epiphany.

[Lorax]

The war of choice for oil in Iraq not militaristic? Are you kidding?

Not expansionist, what do you call our occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq, bases all over the place. Whether or not you believe it, what's important is how the world views it.

You're not convincing anyone that appearances aren't real.

If it looks like a cat, walks like a cat, it's probably a cat.

[Bobl]

Seems Mr. Beck has been caught in a lie by Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg. He had the poor judgment to fabricate the details a meeting with them on a public transit vehicle in his radio program shortly before he was scheduled to appear on their TV show.
Part of his excuse was "I am a commentator, not a journalist". Apparently, his belief is that commentators are not required to be truthful to make a point.

or maybe a civet

silly bats. WE have defined it correctly numerous times. he attempts to re-define it to git his dogma-driven vitriol
