Glenn Beck Blasts Matt Drudge for Bias Against Hillary: ‘How Can We Complain to Facebook About Bias
Breitbart ^ | 05/24/16 | Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 05/24/2016 8:11:45 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Glenn Beck once again blasted critics of his full-throated defense of Facebook – this time by calling out Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report for being biased against Hillary Clinton.

Beck has been attacking Facebook’s conservative critics ever since the damage control meeting he and 16 other conservatives had with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week following reports from several Facebook whistleblowers that the site’s news curators actively suppress conservative stories in their “trending” news section while simultaneously boosting the signal of leftwing causes like Black Lives Matter.

Beck, who has become Zuckerberg’s staunchest defender on the right, took to his Facebook page today to call out Matt Drudge for alleged bias against the Democratic frontrunner.

Of course, lost in Beck’s moral equivalence is the fact that the Drudge Report is owned and operated by a private American citizen, Matt Drudge. Facebook, on the other hand, is a multinational publicly traded corporation.

Drudge, who rose to prominence in the 1990s due to his willingness to post stories about the Clinton scandals that mainstream news organizations deliberately spiked, has never hidden his political leanings, consistently describing himself over the years as a conservative and a populist.

Drudge should consider a TRO on Stabby the Clown.

Alex Jones said Beck looks like a serial killer. Jones is right.

How is it that Beck doesn't know that Drudge is a trailblazer and broke the Lewinsky story? Of course Drudge is going to be on the front lines AGAIN exposing Clinton 2.0 because the lying liberal media is on the payroll for the Crooked Clintons.

Drudge says Newsweek sitting on Lewinsky story, Jan. 17, 1998
By ANDREW GLASS 01/17/13 04:45 AM EST
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter
On this day in 1998, the Drudge Report carried an item on its website alleging that Newsweek magazine was sitting on a story exposing an affair between President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, a 22-year-old White House intern.

Ten days later, Clinton, with his wife beside him, told reporters: “… I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.”

The next day, Hillary Clinton said on NBC’s “Today” show: “The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”

On July 28, Lewinsky received transactional immunity from Kenneth Starr, an independent counsel who had been named by a three-judge panel, freeing her to tell grand jurors about her relationship with Clinton. She also turned over a semen-stained blue dress to investigators that provided DNA evidence undermining Clinton’s earlier denials. At the urging of Lewinsky’s friend, Linda Tripp, the dress had not been dry-cleaned.

Clinton admitted to grand jurors on Aug. 17 that he had had an “improper physical relationship” with Lewinsky. That evening, he said on national television that his relationship with Lewinsky was “not appropriate.”

The House, dividing along largely partisan lines, impeached Clinton on Dec. 19, 1998. The issue then went to the Senate, where after a five-week trial, he was acquitted.

Again, how does Beck not understand the monumental impact and voice Drudge has given to We The People since 1998?

Somebody needs to tell Beck that his 15 minutes are up. Nobody I know listens to him anymore.

Its almost like Fluckerberg slipped Beck a check to bail out his dwindling, failing little Media empire.

Beck has entered the phase of dementia in which he simply babbles, whether it makes any sense or not.

No one says numbers, but you just get the impression that a third of the audience that Beck had in the summer of 2015....probably have left his “tent”.

Personally, I think his flip-flopping around and juvenile behavior....are just some comic act.

Nice to know whose side our “fine conservative” Glenn Beck is really on. I wonder how much money did he get from the Hillary campaign.

Drudge owns the “world changing exclusive” category.

HOW TALES GET STARTED

Fast-track trade legislation and the Social Security trust fund may have trouble piercing the nation’s consciousness. But by last week, only the most media-starved Americans were unaware that Monica Lewinsky allegedly said she had saved a dress with the President’s semen on it. From where do such stories emerge? For the “sex dress,” as the tabloids dubbed it, the journey began in cyberspace ...

Jan. 21: Matt Drudge alleges in the DRUDGE REPORT that Lewinsky spoke of “a garment with Clinton’s dried semen”

Jan. 22: NBC’s TODAY SHOW lends Drudge credibility by letting him repeat his story to a national audience

Jan. 23: Jackie Judd, on ABC’s WORLD NEWS TONIGHT, gives the first mainstream-media report of the stained dress

Jan. 24: The story earns its tabloid stripes as the New York POST and DAILY NEWS play the dress on Page One

Jan. 25: Lewinsky’s attorney, William Ginsburg, says on MEET THE PRESS he knows of no such stained dress

Jan. 25: TIME and NEWSWEEK weigh in, both reporting that Lewinsky said of the stained dress, “I’ll never wash it again”

Jan. 29: CBS EVENING NEWS is the first to report that the FBI found no DNA or stains on any of Lewinsky’s clothes

Complete BS, someone doesn’t want Republicans to unite behind Trump.

I listened to this.

Obviously this was written by an Never Trump.
