I think Beck pulled out of Fox at the right time. I think Beck was seeing the shift of fax before a lot of have.
I just heard an ad for GBTV this morning. It talked about getting the truth even if there’s a sacred cow standing in the way. Talked about there being “no filters” to keep out the truth. Methinks Glenn Beck has pondered Fox’s giving in to Obama’s lawyers when they told Ailes they would annihilate the parent company through FCC and anti-monopoly measures if anybody reported on Obama’s eligibility. Beck dutifully (and with great relish, as a good actor) ridiculed the “birthers” but that had to stick in his craw and it seems like maybe he’s seeing that the country is sunk if we have a media that is threatened into silence.
What other “sacred cow” would Beck be referring to? Is there reason to believe he was forbidden to talk about any other issue? He’s put out some hard-hitting stuff and the only issue I ever felt like he held back on was the eligibility issue. Yet the words he’s using in his ads says he know there was a “sacred cow”.
I doubt that Beck would admit it, but having his parent company threatened by Obama and then being told what he could and couldn’t discuss had to have stuck in his craw. I’ve been saying for a long time that none of the corruption will change until the lying media is called out for its lies and we have a REAL alternative, that can’t be bought or threatened into lying to us. I’m glad to see Beck realizing this as well. I do wish he’d come out with the truth about Obama’s eligibility, though, and the threats that Fox and other media companies were issued. I wish he’d come right out and say that he made fun of us because he was told he had to, or else his little ones might be killed.
