I tuned in to Glenn Beck's radio show this morning to hear him telling listeners how down and disappointed he is that not one, NOT ONE media outlet reported on the Puerto Rico Statehood Bill HR 2499 debate that was to be taken up in Congress today. Left unsaid by Glenn was any mention of Faux News, but to my ears, the omission was deafening.
It's evident that Glenn's not ready to cut that cord yet. And thank goodness for that, because we need him telling us what's going on. God knows NO ONE ELSE is doing the research and digging and reporting that he is.
Yet I wonder how long it will be before Glenn and Faux "News" part ways. Glenn has turned his radio show studio into a television studio, complete with six cameras that can pivot and focus as smoothly as any TV studio cam can. He's also producing video documentaries which are available to his premium website "insiders" for a nominal monthly fee. From there, it's a short step toward internet television, something I suspect a frustrated Glenn is savvy enough to have already thought of.
As the convergence of television and internet become more commonplace, Glenn will no longer need Faux "News" or any other "news" channel to get his message out to America. I wrote about it my Surfin Safari column this week at World Net Daily:
Buying an Internet-ready TV
Chances are the TV set you buy today is Internet-ready. So, why pay $75 to $90 per month for cable when Hulu streams TV for free?OK, so back to the action Congress is undertaking to slide Puerto Ricans onto the voter polls...Netflix streams unlimited movies for less than $10 a month, and Amazon offers 50,000 on-demand titles.
Internet-connected TVs can also provide news, social-media updates and video chat on a big screen using nothing but an Ethernet cord and a broadband modem. Here are some tips to help you figure out what you need.
Painesright at Free Republic posts this comment, which lays it all out very neatly. Tune in to Glenn's show on Faux this afternoon. As Painesright says, it might be the most important TV show we'll see in our lifetime. At least on Faux "News", anyway.
Glenn Beck is in the process of exposing possibly the biggest con in the history of the world.The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX): a potential $10 TRILLION “carbon credit” market created out of thin air (literally).
Who’s involved in the CCX in some way? Barack Obama, Al Gore and ... wait for it.... Goldman Sachs among others!
Beck laid the foundation for the story on his 4/26 show.

Tonight Glenn tells us about Emerald Cities, the brainchild of Franklin “$90 Million Dollar Man” Raines of the notorious Fannie Mae accounting scandal.
Emerald Cities members and backers include the SEIU, AFL-CIO and every other wealth-redistributing marxist, socialist and communist organization in America. These left-wing radical groups are set to reap billions of dollars from the sale of carbon credits.
All they need in order to make this $10 Trillion payday happen is Cap and Trade... which, shocker, Goldman Sachs is sure to support too!
Once you understand what is going on with the CCX, there is no mystery whatsoever as to why Goldman is happy to support Obama’s financial reform. Getting a piece of the carbon credit action is well worth playing the pinata for a week at the kabuki theatre hearings in DC.
Watch or TiVo Glenn Beck tonight at 5:00 Eastern 4:00 Central Standard Time.
It might be the most important TV show in our lifetime.

I answered: no and no.
So glad you found that informative.
“Sorry, bud I can’t stand him because he is a freaking cry baby, and I am convinced either mentally unstable or drinking.”
I’m going to guess that your ridiculously harsh insinuations stem from some intolerance for Beck’s criticism of the Republican party. Just a guess...since, right about now, Beck is probably THE MOST SOBER man on the planet.
It’s not even in “breaking news” here on FR...at least not that I could find.
And you would guess wrong. I would question whether he is sober or not.
On what basis?
I stopped watching when his behavior became erratic. I admit it I have a real problem with men who cry.
“I admit it I have a real problem with men who cry.”
Not me, just the opposite. I guess some see it as a weakness, I see it as strength...a man’s got to be quite comfortable in his own skin in order to be able to show his vulnerabilities and emotions to the world. JMO.
I don’t know. I do know this passed the House last night.
We are not in a ‘normal legislative cycle’ as some of those allegedly on ‘our side’ (Moderates) keep trying to claim.
“OK, so back to the action Congress is undertaking to slide Puerto Ricans onto the voter polls...”
Imagine the House votes and president votes that would suddenly be new leftist voters. And imagine the FALN terrorists coming back more furious than ever to kill US citizens [and get pardoned by democrats].
I realize that Beck is shunned here, but this is all the forum seems to offer at the moment. I had to key word search this important topic which does get red letter emphasis on Drudge:
~
Puerto Rico votes in favor of statehood...
Clear and present danger if our congress approves of PR statehood. Very important, and Drudge has a red letter link to it. [Post just above.]
Rush had an entertaining show today, but I didn’t hear one word about PR statehood. Is there a chance congress will support it?????
I think Beck is a kook, but when you’re right you’re right. If he’s concerned about PR statehood — he’s the VISIONARY of the day while apparently most are distracted.
Yes, and the reason they will bring them in is that 80% of Puerto Ricans will vote the straight rat party line.
Good catch, Arthur. More scum for us to contend with, as usual..
