Title: Glenn Beck never lies
Post by: Hugo Chavez on August 28, 2009, 10:01:41 AM
Ok, 333 keeps asking people to show where Glenn has ever been wrong on anything.  So I searched for a few and had no problem coming up with a few:  Looks like I could have gone on all day gathering shit.

Sort of like the 57 states Hugo? 

I do not have time to go one by one on this, but on the things he has been exposing lately - not one person has contradicted a damn thing he said.

beck does a service to keep the Left honest.

Just as olbermann does a service exposing the Right.

Both are right a lot of the time, and wrong now and then.

It's as simple as that.

that's not like the 57 states at all and you know it.  One is an intentional misrepresentation to dramatically inflate an argument.  57 states is a gaffe.  big difference.  There's no political benefit from telling us there are 57 states ::) except for his detractors of course!

but 333 asserted many times Glenn hasn't been wrong on anything.  That's the point here.

show where they were wrong in what they said in this case.  Also media Matters was not the only source.  But did you expect me to find sites where rightwing sources were saying Beck Lied?  Give me a break hh.  The info is either not good or it's good.  It's up to you to show why it's bad rather than just denouce the source.  Truely unbias sources are actually rare as fuck.  If we both played it that way, nobody could back up shit.

33 is just playing devil's advocate.  He knows that any host who speaks for 1+ hours a day is gonna get some things wrong.

And he also knows that Olbermann had most of his facts right.  he just disagrees with his pints of view.


Deep down, we all feel the guy with opposite beliefs is a D-Bag, but we also know most of the info is good.

i stated what Glen was saying as of late on the Obama admn and the Czars. 

Specifically, Van jones.

Well Hugo....neither can u....u'd have to actually find the source and then do ur own investigation and since neither of us will do that, I'm not leaving it up to a waaay leftwing biased site that hates Fox News.

And he also knows that Olbermann had most of his facts right.  he just disagrees with his pints of view...Olberman is a friggen douchbag and crybaby, I don't think 3 would admit to any of that. He's getting stomped in the rasitings and nobody takes the guy seriously.

D-bag, check.
Crybaby, check.
low ratings, check.

However you didn't address the 'facts' part.  Just like Rush, maddow, and Beck, most of the facts are accurate.  They just choose to point out the things that makes the other party look bad.

well you keep asking it.  You've asked it of several people that have said anything bad about beck.

What does this mean:

Again: 

What facutally did Beck ever say that was wrong? 


I'm just answering the question you put to many here.  He can be wrong :o  OMG lol...

yes I can.  Pick one of the links from media matters and I'll go dig up the facts and see if it's valid or not.  The other part is right, 240 is wrong in thinking the right would admit most of what Olbermann says is fact based.  They probably believe very little is fact based, just like you.

240 I have no idea if the facts are true...they're all minor points so I'm not very concerned. But i am considering the source and Media Matters haaaaatttttessss fox news, so I'll do some intuitive analysis and say they're either full of shit or bordering on it.

Beck has spent the last week exposing the radical communits surrounding Obama.  Even he says the WH called him and said to stop calling Jones a CZAR, but refuses to say whether they knew or know he is an avowed communist.

I guess you're not going to take me up on the challenge.  Let's find out if they're full of shit?

Beck, Olberman...... they are not news programs they are shows to entertain left/right whatever political affiliation. They offer opinion, with a sprinkling of facts here and there to make them seem legit.

So I'll take the subject change as you admitting you were coming across like Beck never makes factual mistakes and that you were challenging people to come up with any.

Many on the right think that they make up shit on a daily basis.  LOL... I'm actually shocked you're asking that.

I have not listend to beck forever, but I will have to look at those things.  however, Beck is in the news lately for two things:

1.  Calling Obama a racist
2.  His 4 part series exposing the radical CZARS surrounding Obama, escpecially Van Jones.  

On those two things, he has been 100% accurate.

I would agree they take what they believe to be a fact and embellish the shit out of it until it fits their agenda

Well maybe we can all agree that CBS does.  You proved that posting the article where it was claimed that Kennedy went to the funeral of every soldier.
