Glenn Beck Apologizes to His Audience; Admits He Wasted an Hour of Their Time for the First Time
Associated Content (AC) ^ | March 10, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Glenn Beck, in a stunning and unprecedented occasion on his TV show, has apologized to his audience, admitting he wasted an hour of their time for the very first time. The apology occurred near the end of Beck's much-hyped interview with disgraced and potentially sexually deviant, former Democrat Congressman Eric Massa of NY. Billed by Beck only a day ago as an interview where Massa may just expose verifiable corruption in the federal government and the Obama Administration with regards to their apparent retaliation for his position on the health care vote, viewers were led to believe that Massa's interview would actually, you know, expose corruption. Instead, Beck viewers were subjected to a torturous hour where Massa spoke only in disappointing generalities, evaded getting specific on actual examples of the Obama Administration retaliating against him, and generally had the whole show to himself to make a monologue.

I did not cast ANY judgement... I was only asking.

clowns like Beck?... Are they leftist plants?... I have never seen him on TV... He seemed a bit kooky then.

No, you weren't just "asking". You were making ill informed statements on something you do not know about... two different things.

Beck has awoken millions to the plight of our nation and he has done more than most in getting those citizens onto the front lines. And his T.V./Radio show, Stage show and book sales aren't setting records because "he's a clown".

Did you hear Rush will leave the US if Obamacare goes through?

He can't take his wealth with him, thanks to Rangel and the 625K cap. To old for New Zealand, and the line will be huge into Australia if it gets that bad. I don't see how he does it.....

I don’t think it was necessarily a waste. While it wasn’t the bombshell Mr. Beck hoped it would be, Massa verified things that many of us already knew, but didn’t know was that bad.

There’s certainly something to be said for POTUS sending folks over to congress to ‘twist arms’, getting the members to vote against their constiuents, and in the case of health care, against the majority of ‘We the People’ to the extent it’s happening.

It also offered an explanation of why member of congress don’t know what they’re doing after spending nearly all of their time ‘on the phone begging for money’ and why money is what’s ruling our politics instead of us.

“Do they have cable news over there? Did you hear Rush will leave the US if Obamacare goes through?”

Good. Maybe he will come live here.

I listen to Rush every day via my Rush 24/7
I wake up at 7 AM, listen to Savage, then my Rush 24/7

I am not in a city, so I do not have cable TV, and not interested.
The available Sat TV has only the British Babble Corp. and Commie International News Network.

I see that people back there are getting very testy now.
I have even had a few FReepers jump on me, apparently because I got out and not back there to suffer the Obamination along with them.

Just wonder when Beck is going to apologize to all those who want Obama’s full birth certificate made available? Instead of calling the Birthers “nuts” and other assorted names, Beck should prove that Obama was indeed born in the USA as he claims.

Have not watched Beck’s show since he trashed the Birthers....so paid no attention to the Massa interview.

Seems like Beck continues to drift left....and left more each time. I am betting he starts supporting Illegal Alien Amnesty next.....just watch

To be honest, I have never seen him on TV.

You have been a FREEPER long enough to at a minimum watch his show befor you post an opinion about him or his show....

Glenn did get "taken" yesterday....but that was the first time as far as I know.....and I doubt there will be another.

Michelle Malkin warned him.....

There is also a possibility that Rahm (sp?) threatened to have him and his family killed if he opened his mouth on Beck’s show.

One thing I thought was interesting was Massa stating that not one person on the committee investigating Raum for ethics voilations has bothered to contact him. What the hell kind of investigation is that? Sounds predetermined to me.

Now if Massa is lying about contact someone on the panel should indeed come forward and say as much correct? I bet there will not be a word about it in the media.

I never posted an opinion about him.
I said that I have never seen him on TV.
I barely heard him on the radio, many years ago.
I suppose the word “clown” was out of place.
It was only what I have heard.
Savage really beat up on him today, but he beats up on anyone that is not himself.

So, you criticize a guy you never watch or listen to. That makes your opinion of him worth zero.

While Rush may be the top of the heap and his awakened a great many people, Beck has gotten people to organize and take action. He has not gotten his tremendous ratings because of shows like the last one. He took a gamble, which I do not consider to be a bad thing. The payoff would have been worth it. He settled the issue for a lot of people who have been wondering.

I agree.

Did you hear Beck yesterday talk about the other talk show hosts that are trashing him? He's a better man than them all for what he said.

Maybe Beck’s show will include a historian who can shed light on Woodrow Wilson’s early 20th century tickle fights!!! Now that’s great TV!!!

Are you lying only to us or to yourself as well? Of course you made judgements. You must be a liberal leftist, you make statements and then deny you made them at all.

Why the attack if you don’t watch him? Those of us who do think he is great. I love Rush too. I’m a Rush 24/7 member and a Glenn Insider Extreme member. Both of them are fighting the good fight. Beck didn’t waste the people’s time at all. Massa did. Beck heard an earlier interview where they guy sounded like a bull dog. He got him on the show and the man just turned out to be a tired limp wristed bonehead. I mean, the guy’s solution to fixing Washington was Campaign finance reform. Nuff said.

Beck is oft plaintively insisting that it 'isn't about the money' for him. Yesterday morn, speaking of the census, he related that he was told that if he didn't complete it in its entirety he'd be made an example of, which would cost him a lot in legal fees. He also said that he was told that attorneys are preparing to defend people who refuse to submit more than the number of people at their address.

Fearless Beck said, 'I don't know what I'm going to do yet'.

ALEXW Quote-"I never posted an opinion about him."

This is a AlexW direct quote in post 6.... "What is it with clowns like Beck? Are they leftist plants?"

I guess your quote is not a quote....

Let me see...Oh, I have been a FReeper more then 10 years longer then you.
I am a charter member of groups like DUmmie Funnies.
Watch who you call a liberal leftist. Those are fighting words.
