OUCH. Glenn Beck exposed as phony on HealthCare Debate

[KittenKoder]

Won't be watching him for long if his sponsors keep bailing on him.

If if sponsors had bailed on him, he would have been dropped by now. This is old news.

the replay comes on at 2 am et
i'll have to look and see

The fact that he has two time slots in some areas shows that he is doing quite well ... I really wish people understood capitalism and media and how they work these days, seriously.

 

[Meister]

Um no. Shill.

Last year, on CNN, he said our healthcare system was an abomination.

This year, in mirroring what "his side's" saying in the debate, and now on FOX, he calls it the best in the world.

He is also a loony fuck, can't forget about that.

Sorry man, a patriot he is not. He is a shill.

Whatever he is, more people watch him on Fox, than watch CNN, MSNBC, or any other cable news at his time slot.

Won't be watching him for long if his sponsors keep bailing on him.

Don't make me call you a moron. There are a lot of sponsors out there...they come and they go, they come and they go. Sponsors look at ratings.
See how that works?

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Sorry Kitty Kat but there are more defections every day. Do you really think Faux will keep him if they are LOSING money.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Sorry guys but if you think sponsors of the type that Beck has been losing "come and go" then you are just as insane as Beck himself.

OK...you are a moron. Fox News in not losing money on him.

 

[Meister]

No...your a moron. You will see him next week, next month, and next year.
But thanks for proving who you are.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Meister.......If yyou think those sponsors are LEAVING because his RATINGS are TOO HIGH then you don't know squat about advertising.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Making yourself out to be the only MORON here.

Well ... unless he really cashes in on all this publicity and decides to retire next year.

Those sponsors are being replaced...For the Love of God, what planet are you from?

You know less about advertising and media hype.

 

[Article 15]

Cold Fusion,

Beck is losing sponsors not his audience. Where there is an audience new sponsors will step up to fill in the void. Beck is lying fuckstick but he's a popular lying fuckstick.

Hope this helps.

 

[Kat]

Oh and alledgedly? When you call someone a moron, you should probably think to spell words correctly, agree?

umm......

I agree with you, dont beleive your ears. Beck did not flip flop on this. LOL

Yes, we do need to watch our spelling don't we?

 

[G.T.]

I signed the petition to his sponsors to drop him. Fuck that douchebag.

Last week (Friday, August 14th) Glenn Beck once again made the case that President Obama will implement euthanasia. As absurd as this sounds, Beck is following up on his segment from earlier in the week in which he used his own daughter's medical condition, and fear tactics complete with Nazi WWII footage, to back up his bizarre claim. With video.


Beck's hyperbole has a life of its own, despite independent findings that what Sarah Palin calls "death panels" is a hoax,despite the fact that the media have debunked the death panels -- more than 40 times over -- and despite statements to the contrary by those who have worked on the end-of-life provision in the bill:



Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Republican who co-sponsored the Medicare End-of-Life Planning Act in 2007 and proposed an amendment similar to the House bill's provision during the Senate health committee's markup of its health-care bill, termed Palin's interpretation "nuts" and noted that all 50 states have laws allowing end-of-life directives.
And Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., who authored the House provision on end-of-life counseling, said he is astounded that Palin has not tempered her bleak descriptions. "It's deliberate at this point," he said. "If she wasn't deliberately lying at the beginning, she is deliberately allowing a terrible falsehood to be spread with her name."

But never one to let facts get in the way of a good rant, Beck makes the claim that "The ‘deather’ part of the bill..I believe it came from the White House", and then goes on, with much eye-rolling and air-quoting, to say that the “deather” provision is equivalent to a British National Health Service plan called NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence. Good going, Glenn, considering that (1) there is no such thing as a “death clause” to begin with, and (2) NICE bears no resemblance to the end-of-life counseling provision from which Palin, with her usual uncanny insight and intelligence, deduced that seniors will be subject to triage by “death panels”.

Beck tries to connect the dots:

Am I wrong in saying, without any inflammatory speech here, don't call them death panels, lets just call them what they are: you have a certain amount of money, a certain amount of people, you can't, they don't, you can't give everything to everybody, isn't it inevitable that you have to make tough choices?
Beck's guest, pro-insurance spokesman Dr. Rand Paul of Kentucky Taxpayers United, had a solution for reforming health care: Extending your contract over several years! He compares health insurance to calculators when they first came out: the longer it's around and the more competition there is, the cheaper it’ll be. And nestled into the video (which was edited for time), try and find Beck’s solution to the health care crisis: let the rich evil doctors treat the sick for a tax break.

Once again, as is the norm, Beck fails to provide a single opposing view to his agenda of scaring the old and disabled, many of whom have no choice but to have Fox on their TVs. Glenn either ignores the facts or is perpetuating a lie despite them. You decide.


News Hounds: We watch FOX so you don't have to.

It's just a little disheartening that FOX is on in businesses and waiting rooms and shit, and people/passers by see him saying "the healthcare plan has deathpanels" then you automatically have a "protestor" who may not know "Beck" is a lying scrub and takes him as gospel.

Times this phenomena exponentially, and you do NOT have an honest debate going on regarding healthcare, which is a detrement to us ALL.
