Jimmy Carter: Glenn Beck And Fox 'Distort The News'

Business Insider ^ | 11/22/2010 | Glynnis MacNicol

[WayneS]

Earth to Jimmy!

Glenn Beck is NOT a newscaster.

[albie]

Jimmy Carter distorts logic. Which is worse?

[oh8eleven]

My Republican friends say that MSNBC might be just as biased on the other side
Republican friends? MSNBC might be biased? Man, this guy is delusional.

[ken5050]

Will Carter be invited to the 2012 Dem convention? Will he get to speak?..Tuesday 3AM?

[WayneS]

In order to distort logic, wouldn’t he need to exist in the same universe with it?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

If I had a hammer
I’d hammer in the morning

C’mon, sing it Jimmy and get back to building houses

[WayneS]

I think Mr. Carter considers Pat Caddell to be a “republican”.

;-)

[Lucky9teen]

Yeh...right.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

The man was attacked by a rabbit....even nature knows he's worthless. ;-)

[ken5050]

Geez..Joy Behar gets almost as many viewers as Larry King...

[American Constitutionalist]

Jimma ? you distort reality.

[o_zarkman44]

Carter tells the host of “Reliable sources” on MSNBC.....roflmao!~!!!!! Great name!! Sounds trustworthy enough!! hehehehe

[mikelets456]

I used to think this guy was simply an idiot... However,I now believe he is a “smiling” deceitful Marxist....which is really the same thing except with an agenda.

[Spok]

Liberals just fantasize about things then state them as fact, like children who have never been disciplined.

[skeeter]

There are very good reasons why the left doesn’t seem to understand the difference between opinion journalists and news reporters.

[ScottinVA]

Carter distorted the Presidency from Jan 77 to Jan 81.

Get lost, Jimmah. You were a disaster then and you’re a disaster now.

[Bean Counter]

Using Howie Kurtz, Jimmy Carter, and “Reliably Sources” in the same sentence should tell you everything you need to know about this story...

[Red Dog #1]

"Jimmy Carter: Glenn Beck And Fox 'Distort The News'"

Yeah, Jimma...maybe Fox should hire honest, objective, impartial and, dare I say it, mentally balanced journalist like Dan Rather?

[cld51860]

Any specifics there, Jimmah? Y’know just by way of tangible examples, etc. No? I didn’t think so.. Thanks for playing...
