How do you know this? I have not been able to understand him on this issue. Given the subject matter he deals with on his programs and in his writing, obama's ineligibility would be worth perhaps a week or several of programs and a book or two.
Like you suggest, my opinion of him and his credibility fell due to his 'official' position and I only occasionally listen to his radio program and haven't looked into GBTV at all.
Yet, he wouldn't touch it and went so far as to ridicule his natural audience over it when he still had his program on Fox.
Some quick links. Doug Hagmann has investigated and says he has evidence and statements corroborating a signed statement by a talk show personality who said that on-air personalities had direct threats to their careers and veiled threats to their lives, health, and families if they reported on the eligibility issue. Hagmann has the hand-written notes from a secretary who was at one of the meetings where the head of the media company made those threats, saying that Obama’s lawyers (and Hagmann found that was at the behest of George Soros, David Axelrod, and Rahm Emanuel) had threatened the media company with FCC and/or anti-monopoly annihilation after the election if they reported on very specific parts of the eligibility issue. Fox was one of the media companies, and I think there were 3 other media companies as well. The threats were made once before the election and (as of about March of 2009) once after the election.
We saw the same thing basically done in public when Media Matters gave a Politico interview saying they were going to do guerilla warfare against Fox (by getting regulators to go after the parent company) just days after Sean Hannity (for the first time) came out in support of Trump’s stance on Obama’s birth certificate. So the story seems very credible for that reason, AND because of the behaviors exhibited during the times in question - which you noted as well, regarding Beck and all the others who would normally have the sense to know that the rule of law matters.
I could say a bunch more but need to tuck my daughter in. Here are some links:
