ugh

Apparently that plan involves giving Glenn beck an hour as a guest on Piers Morgans show which will be guest hosted by SE Cupp...lol I wish Piers Morgan was hosting but oh well

What is the point of S.E. Cupp interviewing Beck? It will basically be an open forum for him to spew his nonsense with no challenge at all.

So tonight was the Glen Beck interview that CNN curiously decided to have Sippy Cupp (his employee, btw) interview him, instead of Piers Morgan. I watched some of it, it was basically an open forum for Beck to have diarrhea of the mouth without so much of a challenge on anything.

Again, not quite sure how anyone was supposed to find that compelling.

I'd ask you what he said but I read Marvin posts and hate spoilers

Well it was 99.9% nothing I didn't already know, but I found the question about what he's said/done that he's regretted to be a pretty tough question since they've wanted him to apologize for calling Obama a racist towards the end of his Fix News run. She seemed upset he wouldn't answer the question. I also think they wanted him to "endorse" some tea partier and he wouldn't. Had it been someone else interviewing I think they would have pushed that button alittle bit further but he's pretty much quit formally endorsing anyone.

Was Romney's loss too much for him?

How do you feel about the Director of PR for IAC, a company that owns Vimeo, Ask.com, About.com and many other popular websites getting her flight info displayed by Google because of this tweet?

http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/thelede/2013/12/20/a-twitter-message-about-aids-africa-and-race/?_r=0

I mean this lady is the Director of Public Relations of IAC... who had minor controversy last year over tweeting she had a dream about banging an autistic kid and how much she loves abortions... and I get for her job title that she should be held to a higher standard... but this seems to be taking it way too far.

No doubt her billionaire father in South Africa has too be feeling p. good about this.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

She's the one who was stupid enough to share info on her twitter and post offensive BS. It's not like it's her home address and phone number either.

 

[2GOLD]

I actually want to applaud her. She got away with the London one and the autistic kid. If she just had not used the racism, she was in the clear. So well done crazy woman, you escaped safely with so much.

Glen Beck also likes to pull the "I'll vote for anyone for who is for the most freedom" bullshit, except for him that is pretty much only someone who is a right-slanted libertarian.

He also tried to pull the "I didn't like Bush" monday morning QBing that a lot of cons seem to do as if they are fooling anyone into thinking they wouldn't have voted him in a 3rd term if they could have.

First is from early 2007, Larry king is from 08

I did like in the Larry King video where he said he voted for Lieberman in CT.

And just to be proactive, I know someone will point out how much he supported bush up until 2006 as being evidence of his lack of any sincerity with being anti bush. Just wait a bit, and I'm willing to bet that a good number of liberal/progressive pundits will start turning on Obama as his presidency winds down..hopefully you'll have the same issue with them.

Beck is not a libertarian at all.

Yeah, that leaped out at me too. The letter O is right next to the letter I on the keyboard, and this is Marvin, so I'd say it's fifty/fifty.

I just caught Anchorman 2 the other day, and I loved its really mean-spirited and surprisingly thorough satire on the media. I know it's not much different from the same thing that Stewart and Colbert do every day, but it shocked me how many different complaints about modern media it managed to vent about, frequently at length. And watching my TERRIBLE local news channels here in Dallas, it's hard not to agree; it's practically an episode of Cops, nothing but murders and car chases and fires and more murders and a human-interest piece about a sick kid who beat some disease and then an escaped convicted felon to watch out for and then more murders and then a massive car wreck and then fifteen seconds about a local police officer getting indicted and finally capping the night off with one last murder. It's appallingly bad, on every single channel; and don't even ask me about the constant, unspeakable production errors. It's the modern equivalent to living in an old-timey world where the only newspapers available are all half-assed copycats of the NY Daily News.

Oh you mean Beck turned on Bush when the Republican brand started declining rapidly? Well excuse the fuck out of me for not being impressed. And turning on the republican because his policies aren't crazy and wacky ENOUGH is not something to really be proud of.

All Beck did was get ahead of the re-branding attempt of awful lassie faire economic policies that were failing and needed a new wolf for the sheep's clothing.

Of course Beck isn't a Libertarian, just like most of the tea party isn't half of what they claim to be either, but about the mid-point of Bush's 2nd term it was time to start claiming you weren't a neo-con due to the damage being done to the name brand.

 

[snuffbox]

In 2008, Beck said the bailouts were not big enough. That is not laissez faire. But it is fitting with Glen Beck being the huge-govt Republican he is and always has been.

In a segment Monday night on The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly claimed the left supported marijuana legalization because children “in certain ghetto neighborhoods” were using the drug.

Bill has been going hard after Marijuana lately.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/07/business/media/gretchen-carlson-fox-news-roger-ailes-sexual-harassment-lawsuit.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

Gretchen Carlson, the longtime Fox News anchor, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday saying that Roger Ailes, the powerful chairman of Fox News, fired her from the network last month after she refused his sexual advances and complained to him about discriminatory treatment in the newsroom.

The nature of Ms. Carlson’s allegations immediately transfixed the world of television news, where Mr. Ailes is a hugely influential figure known for demanding absolute loyalty from his employees.

A spokeswoman for Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit — filed in Superior Court in New Jersey, where Mr. Ailes maintains a residence — portrays the Fox chairman as a serial sexual harasser, charging that he ogled Ms. Carlson in his office, called her “sexy” and frequently made sexually charged comments about her physical appearance.

Ms. Carlson, who joined Fox in 2005, charges that during a meeting last fall to discuss her concerns about what she considered ill treatment, Mr. Ailes told her: “I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better.”

When she refused, the lawsuit claims, Mr. Ailes retaliated by reducing Ms. Carlson’s salary, curtailing her on-air appearances and, ultimately, declining to renew her contract last month.

So gross.

Fox News nurtured an attitude where people that brought up workplace harassment and discrimination were called PC whiners on-air, not surprised at what things are like behind the scenes.

I'd like to think Ailes will get fired at least but I doubt it.

It looks like there's a chance he ends up being let go.
