Glenn Beck Prays For Fox News, Laughs About Sean Hoare's Death

[RamboLiberal]

Glenn Beck laughed about the death of a whistleblower involved in the phone hacking scandal and asked listeners to "pray" that Fox News was not involved in the crisis.

On his Tuesday show, Beck joked about the death of Sean Hoare, who was the first journalist to go on the record about the phone-hacking crisis at the News of the World in a 2010 New York Times article. Hoare was found dead in his London home on Monday. Beck said he loved the story of the death.

"i'm not saying that foul play was involved, but it is suspicious that he's dead," Beck said, laughing. (On Tuesday, police categorically concluded that no third party was involved in Hoare's death.)

Beck said he was worried that the scandal would be used by opponents of Fox News to try and bring it down, but that, as far as he knew, there had never been a hint of a scandal at the network.

1. Never a hint of scandal at Fox

I have to agree; for a "scandal" to have occurred, the subject has to have a conscience or a sense of right and wrong. And there's never been a hint of that at Fox, either. They know enough not to publicize certain things they do or practice, but that's not born out of a sense of shame, but a desire to avoid public approbation. They never think they've done anything wrong.

2. Beck is disgusting. I wonder how many folks will laugh in the future when/if Beck were to die. n/t
