Glenn Beck: 'Do you really believe that I could ... just make things up and remain on the air?'

[Swede]

It's hard to imagine a greater irony than Glenn Beck whining about his critics supposedly quoting him all out of context, since they only run small sound bites and leave out the context, blah blah blah. Because, you know, Beck has quite a track record when it comes to that practice himself. Indeed, Jon Stewart recently had some fun at Beck's expense over his fondness for truncated video quotes.

3. madinmaryland: " Yes, Glenn. You are on the Fox Entertainment Channel, The Simpsons

4. "Do you really believe that I could ... just make things up and remain on the air?"

FUCK YES.

[Contrary1]

5. Certainly you can, Glenn; as long as you continue to bring in more $$$ to Murdoch's bank account.

That, and all the warm, fuzzy feelings you bring to your intellectually-deprived fans.

How's that gold selling? Well I hope, because it means fewer dollars flowing into Repub coffers.

[Raine]

6. Uh in a word YES

I not only "believe it" (a RW talking point that they constantly use) I KNOW IT. Beck he has been caught lying again and again. Liars are not only acceptable but encouraged on Faux.

[TexasObserver]

7. Fox News proved in court they can lie on purpose and it is OK.

They went to court to establish that right.

Of course he can lie all he wants and get away with it.

8. Da Kamerad...

He quoted Lenin the other day.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. Yes, Next question.

[L0oniX]

10. Jerry Springer is still on the air ...so what ever.

[Better Believe It]

11. That's the only way he can remain on the air!

[Canuckistanian]

12. I thought it was a prerequisite

People who tell the truth don't get to be on FAUX. I think it's written into their contracts.

[tedbear]

13. Beck

John Stewart is superb as Glenn Beck!!!! Hysterical and totally perfect!!
Beck has found a home - when he was on cnn (I think it was cnn) I was e-mailing them to get him off the air. If it wasn't for the fact that his audience is either too ignorant or too greedy to object to his stupidity, he'd be right where he should be - unemployed.
