Liberal Intolerance on TV: NBC wants Fox competitor Glenn Beck fired.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Chuck Todd and company at NBC News are outraged that conservative talker Beck won't --or can't-- be fired for calling President Obama a "racist." They blogged as follows:

*** On the Glenn Becks and Howard Beales: The White House doesn't want to give Glenn Beck a bigger platform or extra oxygen -- especially regarding his remark yesterday that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture" -- so they won't comment, even off record. Beck, after all, is a radio DJ who somehow ended up getting a national platform to give his opinion on politics. What's most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn't a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it's now encouraged. And all of this could turn ACTUAL journalists into the next Howard Beales. It's getting nuts that the folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists. Whether it's former political consultants-turned-TV execs or former radio DJs, or former California socialites, the folks helping to accelerate the public's perception of the media off a cliff made their livings trying to do other things. Of course, Beck's crazy language could have one unintended consequence: It could cost him bookings with any Republicans who want to be popular outside Beck's hard-core bizarro-land viewers.

So much for the national discussion on race relations that leftists and journalists say America desperately needs.

If we could just get Beck to study the evidence compiled proving that Obama is not a natural born citizen.
He refuses to believe it. He called a ‘birther’ caller a nut and hung up on him.

Chuck Todd, you are no journalists A-HOLE. And you work for the same ‘news’ channel as KEITH FREAKING OLBERMANN, nut case de jour.

This from the group that has Keith Olbermann and his "Worst Person in the World" rants.

Aw geez not another thread about BECK??? NBC wants BECK fired? LMAO! Thanks for the heads up!

[rockabyebaby]

PINGING THE COMRADES!! Thanks to nutmeg for the heads up!

Anyone who wants to be put on the BECK TV THREAD, please let me know!

[Signalman]

And what should happen to Olbermann for the things he said about Pres. Bush?

[bareford101]

yep, for about 2000 years

[combat_boots]

From the 912 Project page:

“This morn. Glenn, asked for prayer for his family. Something is going on, that isn’t good. We all must pray to our higher powers for him and the family.

He also distanced himself from the 912 project.”

Has an incident occurred in re his family?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Everyone at NBC should be fired.

And their buildings ground up to make concrete.

Letterman is CBS

Hey, Chuck: Hows about we boycott all things GE instead?

If she was just a teeny, tiny, bitsy bit more interesting, I might be able to stand her, but OMG (!) there's never been a more relentlessly BORING human on television. Ever. And that includes Helen Keller.

Like you said, her politics are confusing.

Her husband, John Cohl, is a notorious ambulance-chasing trial lawyer (first one on the ground to sign up victims of the Dow Chemical spill in India). He was also the lawyer for one of the women who tried to destroy Kathleen Willey during the Clinton unpleasantness.

Whilst channel surfing, whenever I go by NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN newscasts, my stress levels go up. Stress levels rising is very bad for your health, so I demand that the Obama administration shut down those news organizations as part of Obamacare.

Chuck Todd is married to Kristian Denny Todd, who has worked on the campaigns of several Democrats, most recently that of Jim Webb in the 2006 race for senator in Virginia.

Now, Chuck Todd, what is that about unbiased so called journalists?!!!

Kristian Denny Todd is a Democratic operative

I don't need any lectures from Chuck Todd of NBC 'NEWS'!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Since Beck is a recovering alcoholic, Obama might do this to get him off the wagon..

[rockabyebaby]

I don't know what's going on with his family, he is coming under fire about his remarks regarding obama, don't know if people are threatening him or his family, libs are whackjobs so who knows what's happening, this is from his twitter page.........

[MBB1984]

The obvious cure is just to shut down NBC.

How many locomotives do you buy?
How many jet engines do you buy?
How many MRI’s do you buy?
How many nuclear plants do you buy?
How many wind turbines do you buy?

A better course is attacking directors where they live

[chris_bdba]

What you aren’t allowed to poijt out the truth anymore? It is obivious in most things Obama says that he looks down upon white people so why is saying that out load a provblem?

[rockrr]
