1. Beck sounded drunk. I'm sure he wasn't. He's just completely lost it.

8. No but he has a prescription of Methamphetamines
I've heard him giggle about it on the radio. Supposedly it's for adult attention deficit disorder. "Oh, great you mean it helps you lose weight and increases sexual prowess" or something like that, was a promo around here for quite some time. We should all be so fuckin' lucky. Like, Giggles teh Clown, needs any more exuberance.

3. They are scared shitless that they will lose their control of the media
Edited on Sat Feb-14-09 02:37 PM by Botany
We need a level playing field ... those are public airwaves

This is the classic case of complaining about what is happening
to somebody else like it was happening to you.

Just last week progressive radio was dumped from D.C. and
Miami ..... you can go coast to coast and never miss right wing
"spew" but try to find a liberal station.

18. What? Why is this allowed? We need the regulations back in place, and one of them is THE FAIRNESS
DOCTRINE, which requires that the mass public get both points
of view.  Uh... why has that regulation dropped out of our
governance?  Because of corruption, and that corruption
disappears when regulations are back in place, when the people
pay attention and uphold the rule of law by virtue of the
PRESS


FUCKHEADS; THAT HANNITY AND FRIENDS.

11. I actually saw some of this on the late replay and you are right
and O'Reilly looked like "Why the hell is THIS GUY on my show?"

He shot Beck down repeatedly especially in saying "Look this stimulus bill is going to happen. Just like the war in Iraq and Bush it is going to happen and all the hand wringing is not going to change that" Beck looked at his watch and said "it isn't done yet" O'Reilly said "Yes it is. It is done". Beck couldn't believe that a fellow Fox news guy was shooting him down. Beck literally sat there with his jaw hanging down.

10. Didn't Jefferson Say That a Little Rebellion is Good from Time to Time?

Believe me, if we rolled out the guillotine on Wall Street, and chopped off the heads of all bankers responsible for the economic collapse, it would take several hundred years for another bank scandal to happen!

12. right wing humor is so sad....
Do they still have that dumb ass "comedy" schtick on in the evenings at the propaganda network, with all those "not funny at all guys" and open blouses?

beck is nuts. He keeps looking around like he expects someone to laugh or come get him...one of the two. he is such a f*cking sad idiot. Even bor looked confused with him.

What?...are they inviting each other on their shows to try to make some sort of outrageous entertainment?

God, I'm glad I'm not a right wing butt hole.

14. Telecommunications act
The fairness doctrine means nothing as long as ownership is still in the hands of a few. Look, the bottom line is that right wing talk radio works. People who are easily influenced by this crap are also the people who respond to advertisers. Liberals don't the way wingers do. If Rush told his listeners to go out and buy Shit Treats they would do it. Clinton screwed us buy signing the repubs telecommunications act.

There needs to be some regulations probably not exactly the fairness doctrine but at least some journalist ethics.

16. Beck is only on TV because Michael Savage is too risky . . .
Fux News knows that there's an audience for batshit crazy wingnuttery (or maybe just nuttery), but they don't want to make the MSNBC mistake and put on someone who'll get their asses sued all the time and maybe get the FCC interested. So they put on a Beck and tell him "the crazier the better -- just not actionable." And because like O'Reilly he's really just a stand-up comedian who's not very funny, he does what they want. And laughs all the way to the bank.

What's scary are the people who don't realize that Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity and the rest of them are just entertainers, and think they're actual commentators or (fates forfend) *journalists*.

19. Lordy. I think they revealed a little too much here
Beck and O'Reilly actually sound afraid that the poor people might actually rise up and eat the rich; a strange moment of Zen for both of them.

22. One interesting dynamic I notice there is how cravenly he sucks up to O'Reilly
Colbert is totally doing Beck. The fawning father worship from a smiling toady is the last thing BillO needs.

How often does Beck get onto Hannity's show?
