Glenn Beck believes Google is doing evil

[Gaspar]

You never had to work nights or graveyard shifts?

Yeah, but moved out of that quickly.  You couldn't pay me enough to stay up after 10pm.

I agree with my friend Glenn Beck.

Google is doing evil.

I used to be really smart at trivia and had a good memory for facts. Now since I discovered "The Google", I have turned stupid. My mind knows that I could look up any fact so it has closed the process of  transfer of knowledge to memory.

Another friend Albert Einstein could not remember phone numbers. He said he didn't need to remember anything he could so easily look up. 

The Google is doing this "making us not learn facts" thing to America's children as well. I bet that soon Jeopardy will be played with nothing but computers someday.

How old are you?

The "entertainer" cover works pretty good for the Murdochians.  Lets them spew whatever and then stand back from responsibility by disassociation. 

"We're not serious...we're entertainers..."

How cool is that?

And there's this.... Beck is "Leading Purveyor of Anti-Semitic Memes in Mass Media"
"Dan Milbank wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post pleading with Senator Joe Lieberman to skip Glenn Beck's August 24 "Restoring Courage" rally in Jerusalem. Milbank warned that if Lieberman "shares a stage with this creature, he will surrender the decency that defined his public life" and described Beck as the "leading purveyor of anti-Semitic memes in mass media." Personally, I would reserve that title for Pastor John Hagee, but Hagee's anti-Semitic memes are couched in religious narratives and jargon that have remained indecipherable to the mainstream press. Not surprisingly, David Brog, a director of Hagee's Christians United for Israel (CUFI), has already fired back at Dana Milbank and defended Beck."

Hide your kids. 

He didn't quite turn enought soft minded adults.  Now he's going after the children.

It's not Nick News, The Electric Company or even the Magic Treehouse. Starting next Monday, talk show host Glenn Beck hopes to educate a young audience with his new children's program, Liberty Treehouse. As he told Politico, his kids' show "will not only entertain children and young adults, but it will respect them and their knowledge and passion for history, art, science and current events."


In a recent interview with Newsmax, Beck said the one-hour program is intended to teach children aged eight through 14; and it's supposed to help parents share values "that go with the United States government in an entertaining sort of fashion." It's available on his subscription web channel, GBTV.

Beck's foray into children's programming is the latest vehicle from GBTV, which boldly proclaims "The Truth Lives Here". Last June, his company Mercury Radio Arts formed the streaming media channel, where Beck moved his eponymously named radio show after parting ways with Fox News.

As NPR's David Folkenflik explained on Talk of the Nation, Beck's departure came after he and Fox faced increasing anger over several comments described as racist and anti-Semitic. Although he doesn't have the same sizable cable audience, he's quickly grown popular with online subscribers, according to the Wall Street Journal. GBTV started with about 80,000 paying viewers, but the Journal reports in a few months, that number swelled to more than 230,000.

Little is known about Liberty Treehouse, other than its focus is history and will produce original content, such as science features. There'll be clips from old TV shows like Ozzie and Harriet and Superman cartoons. There's no trailer or web page yet, but the show's host, Raj Nair, has tweeted a few lines revealing his excitement about the upcoming show and a fondness for quotations by Christian writers

Glenn Beck, Red State Hero, Has New Blue Jeans Line

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/glenn-beck-red-state-hero-has-new-blue-jeans-line/

adio host Glenn Beck's boycott of his once-beloved Levi's jeans brand, which began last year when he took exception to the "Palestinian kind of march" shown in one of their television commercials, has inspired a new boutique denim line, "cut and sewn in Kentucky in a factory that has been operating since the late 1920s."
Beck, who signed a new 5-year, $100 million radio deal with Premiere Networks last month, is said by his 1791 Supply & Co. to have played an intimate role in the crafting of the new designs, one "classic-fit," another "straight leg," both listed at $129.99.
The former Fox News host turned his back on Levi's when they opened their new advertising campaign — "Go Forth" — with Charles Bukowski's rebellious poetry,  video Beck described as "European socialists' marching," and other images that he said brought to mind Occupy Wall Street. Levi's has since dropped Bukowski for something more in the mold of a heavily-edited Def Poetry Jam, but the company continues to outsource many of its brands to foreign manufacturers.
