The Media Has Made a Mockery of the Real News by Giving Credence to Glenn Beck's Rally

Good grief! Who would have thought that Glenn Beck of Fox {Fraudcacsting} News, who just two years ago was often mocked for his histrionics, his crying, his diatribes, and his phoniness, would now be leading a congregation of extreme right wingers in an effort to "get their country back."

Using Glenn Beck as a guru for straightening out this country is like using Larry, Moe, or Curley as the standard bearers for analytical thought and social behavior!

If by "getting my country back" the intense but nutty element in this country means get it back so it can be given to big business and rich white men, leaving behind the poor, middle class, and minorities, then listen to this clown, Glenn Beck pontificate. He will ride on the back of the current manufactured mood, ginned up by the Koch brothers according to the New York Times, and will deceive, misdirect, malign, and whatever else it takes to maintain his status as a newsmaker, "guru," and rich white man.

The media has made a mockery of the real news by giving credence to Glenn Beck's rally being held today in Washington. As the New Yorker reported, the Koch brothers are funding and are the main financial force behind the Tea Party movement. If so, they must be O.K. with Glenn Beck, and consequently must be out of their rich white minds.

One thing is for sure. If we don't get off our butts and vote, we run the risk of losing Medicare, losing Social Security, handing the country to crazy Tea Partiers, and installing a Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin type as president.

That scares the heck out of me.

4. That's want concerns me about democrats that say they'll sit home on election day as a

protest or whatever. It is absolutely lame. They might as well just go vote republican, they're giving their vote to the republicans.

Both funny and true. A lot of people are getting on that bus with no idea where it's taking them.

5. MSM today is all about profit. They could give a damn about the country, decent

journalism, integrity or anything. As long as it makes money for them they don't give a F. It's the kind of stuff that causes countries to fail... all the MSM does is air the propaganda that they can get the most $$$ for. Also, the money spent on elections in this country is absolutely ridiculous... the MSM makes out like a bandit.
