This is the guy who criticized some people who lost loved ones on 9/11 because they didn't agree with his political views.

Not true. He criticized them for always complaining years after 9/11 and continuing to ask for money...

The talk-radio host Beck, as the witty Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out, "is just to the right of Attila the Hun." This is the guy who criticized some people who lost loved ones on 9/11 because they didn't agree with his political views. For good measure, he blasted some of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Mr. Friedman's half-truths in characterizing Beck are an excellent example of why the old media is dying out. This type of silliness doesn't go unanswered anymore.
