GLENN BECK RIPPED CONSERVATIVES WHILE TRYING TO GET CNN DEAL

Glenn Beck was bashing Americans opposed to illegal immigration, decrying partisan politics, and positioning himself toward the center just as he was reportedly trying to strike a deal to get his programming on CNN.
View Quote


While he was reportedly negotiating to partner with CNN, Beck tried to get the mainstream media to love him at the expense of conservatives. Beck, who reportedly has a net worth of nearly $100 million, claimed that he has "never taken a position more deadly to my career than this" and suggested that giving illegal immigrants soccer balls was "more right" than calling out the kind of radical Islam that leads to the beheading of Americans.
Beck also suggested that those opposed to giving soccer balls to illegal immigrant juveniles – nearly 90% of whom, according to Pew Research, are teenagers – were "pusses." He even said that conservatives and citizens should not worry about the illegal immigrant gangsters – many of whom have raped and murdered Americans – who are coming across the border.

Wow, if his motives for that stunt were to move to the middle and alienate Conservatives (kissing the left's ass) to gain a show on CNN of all places.

That's Chicago-style politics low.

I am done with him.

Not taking sides one way or the other here... but do any of you remember that Beck used to be with CNN, before he moved to Fox, before he left Fox?

He's up to something.  Wilkow leaving The Blaze was a clue to me.  The be nice to the illegals shtick was another.  

I wonder if subscription numbers to The Blaze are plateauing or started to decrease and he is looking to sell off while his Company still has value.

Stelter suggested that Beck was responsible for inflaming much of the polarization he now decries during his mainstream media appearances and told him that many Americans remember Beck for "saying on [Fox News] that President Obama is a racist." Beck said he regretted making the comment and replied, "we all live and learn."



Oh I see  Stelter is a butt hurt Obama guy. Makes sense now.

"Glenn Beck like you have never heard him! You won't believe what he has to say about conservatives!"


For those who are doubting, you do realize that CNN is also running this story. Right?

Glenn Beck Sought Out CNN Slot


Beck is a disgusting shill and media whore with nothing on his mind but making a buck. He has never been about any convictions and those who listened to him (myself included for a very short time) were all duped. He's just an entertainer, running his mealy little mouth, saying whatever gets him paid the most.

Ah, I'm not so cool and freely admit I like the guy, even though I don't often listen to him anymore.

I found him a LOT more entertaining when he called morons who called his show "pinheads" and yelled "get off of my phone!" I think toning him down was a grievous error.

Meh, it's a little over the top, even for Breitbart.

It seems to be taken out of context, from what I remember.  IIRC, Glenn was making a point about charity and a point about visiting the border.

Here is the quoted remark, written in a previous BB article, that they reference.

Beck half-jokingly said his co-host Stu was not man enough for skipping out on the trip. Stu said since he has a child under two years of age, doctors recommended that he not travel to the border because of the risk of contagious diseases.

Beck also suggested those who did not go to the border with him like Cruz were also "pusses."

"You know who is not a giant puss?" Beck asked, before answering, "Ted Cruz." He said Cruz called him on Thursday afternoon and said, "I'm coming."

Not quite the same, is it?  Sounds like he was ribbing a coworker to me...

And just because he was talking to CNN about HLN, that has zero to do with anything.  Any of you would take it if you were in his position, plus there is no proof of him changing any views because he wants to be charitable to illegals.  Better him, a private charity, give money than our government, which was doing an absolutely horrible job, at the time.

But hey, let's not let that get in the way of the GB hate.  It flourishes in GD.

It would not really be changing with the wind if the whole intention of what he is/was doing was to land a contract and go back to the fox news/early CNN type stuff.

I'll admit at times I've really liked what I've seen him say; but at other times I didn't.  He seems to have a bi-polar personality to me.  Not that he's mentally ill, just that he goes on wild swings and when on these swings he's entirely different than when he swings the other way.

I've noticed he falls all over himself to praise CNN on his radio show. He lauds Wolf Blitzer as this outstanding example of journalism. Unfortunately I believe this story is true.

This.

Not to mention 1) Beck hasn't been on CNN since late 2008 when Murdoch accelerated his departure. 2) Beck is very open about his evolving positions and his faith based reasons & pivot points for changes 3) Beck tries to live his principles (and all of us fall short of our own stated principles) for example he dropped GM as a sponsor over the bailout, he moved to Texas to get out of the soul polluting Manhattan, he started his own media group with his own money to ensure he could say what he thinks without management stifling him...now that he is nearly broke it makes sense that he'd seek out a partnership with a MSM outlet.
