Michael M. Grynbaum, Tiffany Hsu, Katie Robertson and Keith Collins Wed, February 10, 2021, 2:44 PM Two days before a mob of Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol, upending the nation’s peaceful transition of power and leaving at least five people dead, right-wing radio star Glenn Beck delivered a message to his flock of 10.5 million listeners: “It is time to fight.”
“It is time to rip and claw and rake,” Beck said on his Jan. 4 broadcast. “It is time to go to war, as the left went to war four years ago.”
A former Fox News host, Beck had speculated for weeks about baseless claims of voter fraud in the presidential race. He told listeners that Donald Trump had taught conservatives that “you don’t have to cower anymore, you don’t have to back down when ridiculed into oblivion. You can fight back.”

Yahoo, yup, gotta believe that lot.
No slant in that Yahoo blurp
You can tell this article is a lie because it took four authors to write it.
Compared to the unrestrained disinformation campaigns NBC, CNN, ABC and CBS all summer that fomented and supported the actual insurrections and riots all summer AND enforced BLM indoctrination?
BS.
It’s called free speech - get used to it pal and what happened at the capital was NOT an insurrection.
Impressive, it only took four of these small IQ know everything Millennials to come up with this work of fiction.
There, fixed it.
How many commies does it take to write this tripe?
BS. No Trump rally attendee stormed anything. They were 1.5 miles away and Trump still had 20 minutes of his speech he finished.
4 authors, count em FOUR authors for this dreck
It took FOUR dolts to write this drivel??
here we go again!!! we are supposed to take their abuse!!.. the dems are the most foul and demeaning bunch... their language goes out of bounds and its free speech...
THIS IS HOW THEY GOT THEIR POWER!
THIS IS CRAP AND WE ARE ON A LAST GASP FOR SURVIVAL!
When it takes three to write a piece, you know the propaganda is thick.
Hay pot. Meet kettle.
You’ve been stoking fear, anger, and division in this country for years, and you just did it again.
Dismissing questions about voting irregularities is not just divisive, it’s suppression.
what happened at the capital was NOT an insurrection. ................. Ya got that right, I’ve seen more damage done on Black Fridays than what occurred in DC.
American Police State: No Questions Allowed
By J.B. Shurk / Feb 11 / American Thinker

When does a free state become a police state? Is it when government declares itself “essential” but religious worship “selfish”? Or when making a living becomes a crime? Or when free speech rights are afforded only to those who say “correct” things? Or maybe when tens of millions of Americans find themselves unexpectedly labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the military-media complex overnight?
Perhaps the telltale sign is this: simply asking why becomes subversive. Questions become bigger threats than foreign missiles. Words are regarded as weapons legally possessed only by those in power. For all else, they are rendered contraband.
If Congress were transparent, rather than vindictive, and if its members worried more about finding truth than burying it, then lawmakers in D.C. would have spent the last few months quelling doubts about the 2020 election instead of intensifying those doubts with a second, inflammatory impeachment. Alas, we’re ruled by unserious people who take their power very seriously.
Consider the following contraband questions Congress will never answer:
Why should the 2020 election be viewed as legitimate if the outcome depended entirely upon the unprecedented use of mass mail-in balloting implemented, in some cases, against state law?
Why is Congress not interested in knowing how many mail-in ballots were counted in battleground states that were either received after legal deadlines or in violation of signature-matching requirements or other safeguards for authenticating voter identity?
Why is Congress so incurious about the reality that Donald Trump won nearly every bellwether county from coast to coast by double-digits on his way to losing the election?
Why is Congress so incurious about how an incumbent president could expand his support by over ten million new voters and increase his share of the minority vote, yet still come up short against an opponent with historically low levels of enthusiasm among his own base?
Why is Congress so incurious about the conspiracy between corporate news and social media to censor negative stories about Joe Biden during the campaign while aggressively deplatforming conservative commentary and online social networks of Trump-supporters for years before the 2020 election?
Why is Congress so incurious about a “secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites” who conspired “to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win”?
Why does Congress deem such reasonable questions so threatening?
Why do lawmakers insist on threatening American citizens for thinking critically just because Congress itself abandoned critical thinking long ago?
All of these questions are now too dangerous or too inconvenient for the U.S. government to abide.

Miscounted, it took four, the propaganda is really thick.
So, are they ramping up to suppress talk radio?
They must be truly giddy about Rush Limbaugh’s cancer.
Good article.
