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.

I predict that someday, Glenn Beck will replace O’Reilly.
The TRUTH is a big problem for the radical left.
Left wing racists are getting their ample panties in a twist because somebody told the truth about the black klansman in chief.
Gonna have to start calling Obama “Grand Dragon Obama” just to jab at them.
EXCUSE ME......Beck had a shrink on that did an analysis of Obama’s words and actions. He discribed Zero’s OWN statements regarding walking with his WHITE Grandmother as a child. He has a childhood hatred of Whites that has now manifested itself in the total distruction of this Economy and Health Care system.

Obama's Desk made of slaveship wood is highly offended by any notion that there is an agenda against white people in the Obama Administration.
Glenn Beck’s rating are driving the liberals crazy! Keep up the good work Glenn!
Hahahahaha - I hope everyone at NBC, and GE for that matter, wakes up nightly with cold sweats and nightmares of Beck and Palin!
Sheesh. It isn't Beck who blurs the definitions. He is a commentator. He isn't a commentator posing as a journalist, though he does try to get his facts straight and corroborated, as journalists used to do. Yet the so-called journalists deliver biased commentary in every line they parrot, and still pose as objective, high-minded, scrupulous reporters of fact.

They want him gone because he’s uncovering the corruption. Methinks he’s ‘hitting bone’. NBC is just following orders.
I think he meant to say the following: "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 liberal elitists."
Their real complaint is they are being pummeled in the viewership dept.
NBC's approach, If you can't beat em'... ATTACK em'.
Pigs.
Liberal pigs.
Liberal, biased, double standard pigs...
Is it as serious to call the president a racist as it is to tell him to “shut the hell up”? If one is firable, so is the other. Neither is.
