Glenn Beck Takes On Hook Up Sex, Glee

June 18, 2012

In case you wanted to know, Glenn Beck pushes back on the liberal media, and they don’t like it on bit. I don’t know what the show is about, I started to watch once, and turned the channel, I thought it was just another stupid liberal show. Apparently Beck thinks it’s glamorous “Hook-up Sex” … Now I got to watch it.

Here is a cut of what Beck said:

The dark clouds hanging over Rush Limbaugh appear to be lifting: Media Matters Scam Goes Poof

March 29, 2012

Earlier this month Media Matters launched its most ferocious boycott effort ever to force Rush Limbaugh off the air by intimidating advertisers.

It always was a charade, as many have documented.  Media Matters coordinatedwith “independent” groups to make it appear that there was a grassroots movement, but it was astroturf. And anybody who actually looked into to it, you know, things journalists used to do,  knew it. So tell me, how does an apolitical nonprofit group do things like this?

Exactly one month after the conservative radio host sparked outrage by calling Georgetown law-school student Sandra Fluke “a slut” and “a prostitute” in a three-day diatribe, stations are standing by him, advertisers are trickling back to his program and the news media have moved on.

Liberal groups that organized petitions and boycotts against Limbaugh say that they intend to keep up the pressure and that they’ve had a lasting impact on the most popular radio host in America.

“The objective has been to show that there are real consequences when someone like Mr. Limbaugh or his company shows no accountability for his actions,” says Angelo Carusone, who has been leading the anti-Limbaugh efforts for Media Matters for America, a Washington organization. “That is continuing.”

At the same time, however, Carusone acknowledged that outrage is hard to sustain. “I think certainly the pressure has been reduced,” he said. “To a certain extent, that’s okay and acceptable. . . . Obviously, the intensity is gone, but the engagement remains high.”
