I know Beck is a psychopath, but why is he telling the truth ? Are his viewers running away ?

And why does he smirk at the end, when he is named as one of the people in the MSM telling the truth.

1. I'm hearing this from both sides of the isle.
If it was true with all that power wouldn't they try to silence him?

6. One possible explanation why Fox is suddenly telling the truth
is that the awareness of the the government take over is finally so widespread.
But...by being "out in front" of the issue, the Reicht Wing can then direct the response.
NOtice the spread of the fairly non-threatening Tea Bag parties.
Hey...a party...not quite as dangerous as a mass taking to the streets, is it?

Back in the day, in the 70's, when the protests became too big to ingnore, the "establishment"
would often try tp "co-op" the leaders of the opposition by offering them jobs/money/power and then later shunt them into a quiet backwater.
Co-opting became a much used phrase then.

Just a thought.

2. Inside The Meltdown
On Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the astonished leadership of the U.S. Congress was told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the American economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days. "There was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left," says Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.). (more »)

8. maybe Beck is legally obligated to tell the truth
kind of like the way that radio stations must give their call letters at specific intervals, or at least one time in a specific duration ...

9. a court ruled in 2003 that fox news was not obligated to tell the truth!.
FOX fired a newscaster for refusing to do a story she knew was a lie.
She sued FOX and won, however FOX appealed the verdict based on the notion that as a news organization they are not obligated by law to tell the truth - they are fully within their rights to lie to the public and falsify stories... AND THEY WON.

the court declared that the FCC policy against falsification that Fox violated was just a policy and not a "law, rule, or regulation", and so the whistle blower law did not apply.

10. I'm well aware of that ... but Beck isn't on Faux ...
so he may have to follow that rule a bit more than any on the Faux channel ...

15. Maybe Beck was plagiarizing.
Because there are many articles that have been published which have gone into greater detail about this subject.

13. That was actually a pretty could description. I wish someone on our side had did that.

But the problem with anyone on the right complaining about GS is that it was THEIR idea to deregulate them. Of course Beck leaves this little very important fact out of his demo.

14.  "I wish someone on our side had did that."
Taibbi did great job in his Rolling Stone article.(s)
Max Keiser has been doing it for months on his radio and tv shows.
Deninnger caught it almost immediately in his blog.
But no one on MSM really did, and even the Frontline piece was not pointed towards Goldman.

As much of a jerkoff that Beck is, the above piece was pretty accurate, and did reach some people, who remain blissfully unaware of the implications of the the bigger picture.

17. That's true. That's where Beck got his info.

I meant that someone would have made a video like that with charts and all.

18. Whether true or false
an argument bears no logical relationship to the arguer. If the Devil says it's 9:00am in your time zone and all the clocks in your time zone confirm that it's 9:00am then it's most likely 9:00am. If left and right draw the same conclusion about the bank bailout, using the same evidence, then they are probably correct.

19. He's telling the truth in order to bait people like yourself into thinking that he makes sense!
When we've all heard the same story from people who have more education and expierience than this Asylum Clown.
