The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escapefinding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Beck has been attacking Facebook’s conservative critics ever since the damage control meeting he and 16 other conservatives had with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week following reports from several Facebook whistleblowers that the site’s news curators actively suppress conservative stories in their “trending” news section while simultaneously boosting the signal of leftwing causes like Black Lives Matter.
Beck, who has become Zuckerberg’s staunchest defender on the right, took to his Facebook page today to call out Matt Drudge for alleged bias against the Democratic frontrunner.
Of course, lost in Beck’s moral equivalence is the fact that the Drudge Report is owned and operated by a private American citizen, Matt Drudge. Facebook, on the other hand, is a multinational publicly traded corporation.
Drudge, who rose to prominence in the 1990s due to his willingness to post stories about the Clinton scandals that mainstream news organizations deliberately spiked, has never hidden his political leanings, consistently describing himself over the years as a conservative and a populist.

Cheeto-crusted dipshit!
Thanks for the reminder :D.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
I guess there is a vast, right-winged conspiracy by those who infiltrated the conservatives but aren’t conservatives.
And then one day, I clicked on a link to Free Republic...
“This thread alone make FR brilliant with insights and commentary. Carlson’s observation of Beck is fascinating. Sad: Beck’s books are really good.”
This thread is a great example of why I get my national and international news from FR.
Zuckservative?
CUCKservative!
Beck is just all excited because he heard Hillary was into lesbians...and with him being a crybaby girlieman and all...

Beck’s already sold out to someone not of this world.
Huh???? Beck’s show and his Blaze news aren’t biased? This is getting crazier by the day. I used to follow him...subscription etc. I started a 912 group in 2009. How could I have been so fooled? A lesson learned....trust very few.
Gotcha. Just as Bill O’Reilly’s books are written by another, so too Beck’s books. Thankfully, both sell very well.
Ghostwriters do most of the work for our incomparable conservative “authors”. Buchanan actually writes his own books, he began as a journalist. I think the now ridiculous Trump hating Levin writes his own as well.
Researching a book and writing takes a whole lot of time. Anyone who is doing daily broadcast work isn’t writing the books that they scribble their names on.
Liar
Good points. I accept. And I agree that “writing take a whole lot of time.” And misery and checking emails...
Glenn Beck is the biggest idiot on the planet. Does he complain about the bias in letters-to-the-editor and op-ed pieces, too?
Drudge used to be a conservative talk-show host and he freely admits to being a conservative. Facebook, on the other hand, claims to have no biases. Facebook is supposed to be a big-tent website where everybody is equally welcome. It’s appalling that Glenn Beck needs this explained to him.
Yeah, it’s like going over to Salon.com and complaining about liberal bias in their op-ed section. Way to go, Beck! Welcome to the world of media, a new area for you to work and learn in. This goofus has been in the business how long? He’s not just going nuts, he’s there.
Facebook showed Glenn Beck some shiny objects and he’s fully on board. If you need to screw him out of some money, now is the time (while he’s still got money). I wonder how much money Glenn signed over to Zuck as an “investor”.
I’d bet good money that Beck thinks he’s in-like-Flynn with Zuckerberg while the Zuckster thinks he’s a complete and utter idiot.
That’s Bubba. He later claimed that he didn’t lie because getting oral really isn’t sex. He probably rationalized his coke habit by telling himself and others that you’re not into drugs unless you’re shooting up.
