"Right on!"
He asked her a question, and she answered. Not really a hatchet job.
I heard the interview. It was a hatchet job.
She flat out denied being a "truther", so Beck rephrased in more general and vague terms until he received a reply that he could deliberatedly misinterpret as an "admission".
Beck is a weasel. Screw him...
If one of the Tea Party objectives during the primary elections is to support conservative candidates who are more responsive to the grass roots, then we also need to hold "conservative" media personalities to a higher standard as well.
Glen Beck fails miserably.
He's just a lazy, dumbass shock jock who's padding his own bank account by sucking up to the current political status quo.
A grass roots activist he ain't.
A credible journalist he ain't.
He's just a bumbling hatchet man, and an ignorant one to boot.
Glenn: Do you believe the government was in any way involved 911?
Medina: I don’t have all the evidence...Some good questions have been raised in that regard, not all the evidence has been viewed.
I have to agree with this post more than the posts that claim she blew the answer. I don't know a lot about Medina yet, but was hoping to learn more today. If you listen to the interview, she was clearly trying to not answer that question and steer the conversation back to issues on her talking point list. No big surprise there. Beck twisted her response several times and interrupted her when she seemed to be trying to distance herself from the issue. Here's the response posted on her website after the interview:
I was asked a question on the Glenn Beck show today regarding my thoughts on the so-called 9/11 truth movement. I have never been involved with the 9/11 truth movement, and there is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11. I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way. No one can deny that the events on 9/11 were a tragedy for all Americans and especially those families who lost loved ones.
On balance then, we have a non-answer to a biased interviewer and a direct answer on a web page with more time to collect her thoughts. I really like Glenn Beck generally, but he can make an ass of himself from time to time. Today was more of a Beck "ass moment" than a Medina implosion. Let's see if she can get into a run-off first, then hope we get a 1-on-1 debate to see who will make the better gov.
