Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck facing axe

See, this is why I'm hoping that the rumor is true and Glen Beck goes away. As long as that moron is spouting gibberish on tv, there will be DP threads like this that begin with "Beck is an idiot! and end with "The Commies Are Coming!"

This sh*t needs to stop. I haz me a headhurtz.
 
No barb, them too, if they are disseminating propaganda. I'll check, thanks for the heads up. There is some seriously underhanded crap going on in our national discussion. Powerful tools few are aware of. Not that they are hidden, simply not talked about.

I do not approve of the use of the tools of persuasion at play in this country's national discourse. I do not care who is using them. If those of you on the right point out these tools in use by the left for me I'll add them to my list of examples. I need more for use in examples for dems/lefties.

Is this getting through to anyone? My focus tends to be on the NeoKhan phenomenon and its propaganda campaign over the past 30 years. But I won't tolerate any of the "second amendment doesn't confer individual right to bear arms" bs that comes from the left either.

I am socially liberal because I believe that if I never tell anyone how to live their lives, then I never have to tolerate anyone trying to tell me how to live mine.

I am far more conservative in my core beliefs than any of you here think. But I believe many liberal views are also fair and appropriate, even practical.

Sorry, i'm trying to discuss something that genuinely concerns me and I get uniform dismissal. Utter refusal to discuss my questions in any honest or respectful fashion. Every time.
 
Ok Conservative, here's what i'll do. I will record all three broadcasts you mentioned (even though I did kinda disqualify Sheppard Smith). I will parse them for known propaganda devices in their broadcasts, labeling them by technique being used and identifying the PR firm, political campaign, etc., that constructed them when possible.

I will provide clips, along with links to the PR tools in question and other relevant links.

If I can do this as I believe I can I will post it in the form of a poll, and allow the forum to decide whether I have made my point or not.

If I am right you concede my point that Fox is the propaganda arm of the Republican party.

If I am wrong I will admit it and restrict further rants against Fox to the opinion segments alone, making the appropriate distinction from "hard news" segments.

One week from today or less.

Sound good?

If I am unable to provide adequate examples to support my position, where would you like me to acknowledge this failure?

I was challenged.

And if everyone is repeating manufactured nonsense that I can identify and often attribute, then yes.

Blah blah blah repeat the "message" over and over and over. Pretend what i'm saying has NOTHING to do with the topic. Its deceit, or ignorance.

Because MANY of you here know exactly what i'm talking about. Your use of language, the trade specific vocabulary, what you do for a living etc identify you as people who understand exactly what i'm saying.

But the subject is taboo.

So I gotta listen to you fuss at me.
 
seems that the nature of your offer leaves you free to pick and choose.

could you provide a counter-organization that you would offer as a news group that could not by those rules be demonstrated to be a propaganda arm?

so. how much did Glenn Beck make Fox News last year, then?

and I'm still waiting for reasons why he is so crazy?

If you continue to believe the Earth is flat then you're not going to be convinced.

Look at it this way. Just as posters on here who defend Beck will never ever be taken seriously in a debate again, brand managers want to avoid such a fate for their brands.

Liberals won't discuss it with you. Why would they? You've crossed the line from right wing radicalism to fundamentalist crankiness. It would simply be a waste of time. I mean of course the Earth is flat otherwise all the water would just fall off wouldn't it?

Beck is way beyond neocons, Reaganites, earnest Mormons or other conservatives. He is an end of days Christian Talibani. There simply is nothing to discuss. He and his cohorts are enemies of democracy. Those who are intoxicated by his childish political incorrectness cross that line with him. He is a de facto ally of islamofascism, a provocateur and hatemonger who pushes the agenda of global jihad every time he opens his mouth. Osama would love it if the whole US media was dominated by such morons and their friends. He's the enemy within.

Which brand would associate with such a nutter?

sooo...... lots of ad hominem but short on any specifics?


:) in othernews, long time no see, Plato, howyabeen?
 
I actually recommend gathering information from as many sources as possible. This generall seems to provide a reasonably accurate synthesis of what really occurred. In the above, actually, I'm pretty sure I can demonstrate a considerable amount of high power "messaging". Enough to possibly prove my point. That there's a LOT more "messaging" flying around than most people are aware of.

It is often at the heart of some of the fundamental disputes between the right and the left.

I would simply like to occasionally discuss some of the issues debated on this forum through the lens of relevant PR influence on what we're talkng about.

Because it often IS the answer to all those "Where do you people get all this nonsense?" Posts. Clearly.

Seriously, i'm not trying to attack any particular position.

I want everyone to understand the issues clearly and vote their interests accordingly. I do not begrudge you for voting your interest. As I will vote mine. As it should be. Without the deliberate cloud of PR.

Anyway. No relevant response expected.

Y'know mister jetboogieman you appear to have that flawed perspective common to liberals who think that despite the record of history, they know better...that they know everything better. To even suggest that there has been and is no socialist/communist threat to this country since the 50s is to be in denial of reality and the very fact that there is a resident evil in man. That last comment shouldn't be minimized, because every generation has had it's tyrants whose names are written in the real history books. And the most insidious threat is the one from within, as it's often ignored

Do you think that the CPUSA is a social club?
Maybe you should give Chapter 19 a read, because you may be a victim of redacted/revisionist progressive education that got well cranked-up in the 60s. Much authoritative and respected opinion there, backed up by factual reality.
Or that this bunch, right out of Obama's Chicago past, are just another political party?
Or that Van Jones who became another casualty under Obama's political bus was a peace activist?
Or that this bum is no threat to anybody or anything?
And then there's the Nudge strategist Cass Sunstein who has this distorted view of the Second Amendment and accurately predicted his view would be overturned later, which happened in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on 3/9/2007. That didn't stop him from participating in this puffball questioning laffer with notorious RINO Susan Collins ochestrated so he could loudly exclaim that he is a supporter of the Second Amendment, just NOT of any original intent interpretation that gives people the right to use arms to defend themselves. No un-American attitudinal threat there, huh. You miss all the subtleties of those who would usurp our system.
Or what about the most radical czar of all?

I looked in your public "profile" to see if you listed your age so I could get a better sense of you, but I see you're rather shy about personal information. You have an understandable admiration for the imaginative appeal of the old Star Trek TV series and what and how it related to the then future and inter-galactic travel, etcetera. What about the past though? Are you in complete denial of that? I'm honestly trying to get a sense of where you are coming from.

Why don't you make your case for that position I and others here consider outrageous. You took the position sugesting that our concerns were a joke, so now it's your responsibility to defend it...WITH FACTS!

So while you're gonna be scared of the "communists". Not that you probably could distuignish a communist from a marxist from a socialist since the 3 are technically incompatable...

Whatever floats your boat! Doesn't really matter to me because I believe that Fox News gives both sides of the story and is more in tune with my ideology which has been formed over time. I grew up a JFK Democrat and voted Democratic until 1980 and haven't voted for a Democrat since. As a JFK Democrat I believed as JFK stated that cutting taxes created economic growth through consumer spending and that personal incentive and wealth creation is good.

I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me. The party changed to the Liberal Party where spending in the name of compassion was the issue and not compassionate spending that creates positive results. I got tired of watching govt. grow and increase dependence on that govt. for personal responsibility issues along with the class warfare issue including demonizing profits. I have no use for that ideology and know that people keeping more of what they earn means less of a need for that so called govt. help.

As for the thread topic, I don't watch Glenn Beck on TV but I do listen to him on radio. I can see why liberals fear him but then liberals fear anyone who tells them anything they don't want to hear. Beck has gone a little too far at times but has been right more than wrong and has to be destroyed. On specific important issues i.e. economic and national security, which are the two most important to me, he is right on and the results prove it, results coming from non partisan sites like Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census, and the check book of the U.S., the Treasury Dept.

Has he made mistakes, yep, but then again he is human and like all humans will make mistakes. Some even admit they make mistakes but not many liberals here who voted for Obama. Instead they have to attack and destroy anyone who speaks out against the Obama agenda and call it racists when the reality is it is all about results and direction.

So carry on, do whatever you have to do but like with all news media I will verify what I am told and right now Fox has more credibility than the rest of the networks as the results show.

Let me give you an example of leadership, something we seriously lack in this country today. If we had a leader that was proud of his country, believed in this nation, and realized how great this country "was" he would have done with the Leader of Australia did. Take notes and then ask "your" President why he won't lead like he was elected to do?

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law, were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to
head off potential terror attacks..


Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying
she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:


'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some
individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have
experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials
and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of
our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing,
political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian
principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is
certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your
new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that
you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or
Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great
Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

And YOU are the one who determines what "flat" is. Our resident soothsayer. That's always handy to have in any forum. I'll peruse the rest of your comments whilst you stroll down here from Mount Olympus to cozy up with we mere mortals for a brief colloquy. Let's see...



Look at it this way. Just as posters on here who defend Beck will never ever be taken seriously in a debate again, brand managers want to avoid such a fate for their brands.
Click to expand...
Why? I mean why look at it in your way? You've failed to motivate any of us to be so inspired. Oops! Attention mister soothsayer...oh wizened sage for the ages! It marks one as narrow of perception and bereft of tolerance to exhibit such pernicously narrowed opinion of what others may freely think and believe. Mr. Beck and his manner are actually extraneous to the dearth of factual information he puts forth. The overwhelming amount is historically accurate. As he is human and has human foibbles he sometimes errs, as do we all. Doesn't make him a bad person. Most certainly not one who meets the standard you set for posters who are fond of him as to "never ever be taken seriously in a debate again". You'd best take me seriously if we debate. Btw, "brand managers" are interested in their bottom line. It's that bottom line, not Beck's perceived shenanigans and excesses that mediate their decisions if they do their job right. If all their markers tell them they have the audience they're happy. If not they are not. He becomes a sort of subliminal commercial for their product, not unlike...as an example, the silly GEICO gekko commecial. I think it's silly and juvenile and the gekko (Beck equivalent in the example) is ludicrous for an adult audience, BUT somebody is buying GEICO insurance, because they are drowning us in those commercials. Can you grasp that point of equivalence?



Liberals won't discuss it with you. Why would they? You've crossed the line from right wing radicalism to fundamentalist crankiness. It would simply be a waste of time. I mean of course the Earth is flat otherwise all the water would just fall off wouldn't it?
Click to expand...
You are woefully misinformed. I've debated liberals about Beck ever since his rise in popularity and I'm not even a big fan of his. They mock him endlessly with emotional vitriole as you do, totally unable to grasp any intellectual concept in discussing that which he says and illustrates. Embarassingly..., they do just what you've done here. Rant with much ado about nothing in substance. It takes me back to how they used to wake us up in boot camp in the service. They'd have one guy take a Coke bottle, empty of course, and swing it around the inside ribs of an empty, galvanized ****can. The noise, I imagine, would wake the Devil himself, but it was some relief when it stopped. I think there's a lesson there for you.



Beck is way beyond neocons, Reaganites, earnest Mormons or other conservatives. He is an end of days Christian Talibani. There simply is nothing to discuss. He and his cohorts are enemies of democracy. Those who are intoxicated by his childish political incorrectness cross that line with him. He is a de facto ally of islamofascism, a provocateur and hatemonger who pushes the agenda of global jihad every time he opens his mouth. Osama would love it if the whole US media was dominated by such morons and their friends. He's the enemy within.

Religion and forcing religious beliefs on someone else is quite different. There is a radical Muslim problem in this country and to ignore that reality is dangerous to everyone.

There where specific websites set up to get Letterman and Gregory fired, where is the effort to get Glenn Beck fired?

In my opinion, if Glenn Beck's contract is not renewed by Fox it will be about politics and not his ratings; especially since we'll be going into the presidential elections.

I don't know nor do I care. If there were websites to get rid of David Letterman and David Gregory that is no different than trying to get rid of Glenn Beck. Are you telling me that there isn't a concerted effort to get Beck off the air? I don't support any organized boycott of any TV personality, let the ratings and the network decide. I doubt that Roger Ailes is going to listen to anyone on either side and will make a business decision prior to December.

Naivete will yet be the death of this sovereign constitutional republic. And don't waste your time on charges of paranoia either.

You've yet to snap out of your Che malaise. Obama is a control freakazoid. His very appointments and actions since he's been President can demonstrate that. He initiated his getting control of the means of production and commerce with the stimulus, ramping-up the bad example of the less than intelligent Bush. His administation and close associates read like a Goldman-Sachs alumni meeting. He broke the law by trampling all over debtor's rights via bankruptcy law in his attempt to gain a foothold of control with the unions for the control of the auto industry. He grabbed control of the health industry with ObamaCare, the first law ever passed that we had to pass to learn what it contained. He got stopped on Cap and Trade and has already started using regulations/directives with the full force of law via his EPA, Commerce Dept and other entities to slowly exert control. He's openly recognized the current financial disaster(would you like me to "go to the videotape"?) and reacted by pushing for more spending and refusing to take any substantive commitment to reduce spending as we head for disaster. Call him what you will. He's a mix of all of those corrupt and proven failed Russian political theologies. All verifiable FACTS.

He initiated his getting control of the means of production and commerce with the stimulus, ramping-up the bad example of the less than intelligent Bush. His administation and close associates read like a Goldman-Sachs alumni meeting. He broke the law by trampling all over debtor's rights via bankruptcy law in his attempt to gain a foothold of control with the unions for the control of the auto industry. He grabbed control of the health industry with ObamaCare, the first law ever passed that we had to pass to learn what it contained. He got stopped on Cap and Trade and has already started using regulations/directives with the full force of law via his EPA, Commerce Dept and other entities to slowly exert control. He's openly recognized the current financial disaster(would you like me to "go to the videotape"?) and reacted by pushing for more spending and refusing to take any substantive commitment to reduce spending as we head for disaster. Call him what you will. He's a mix of all of those corrupt and proven failed Russian political theologies. All verifiable FACTS.



I just made my case. You're still screaming and ranting! The "taking over" can only occur if more people start believing what you believe.



[sarcasm]Okay everyone. Relax. Disarm. Unlock your doors. Invite a commie or marxist or leninist or nazi or terrorist over for a garden party. No sweat![/sarcasm]


Says you. I say it's the Islamofundamentalist nutjob terrorists and their sympathizers here in the good old USofA. "Eternal Vigilance is the Responsibility of Freedom."

You have some issues bro, some serious issues...

I don't know what your beef with me is...

But I suggest you take some therapy when it comes to your fear of communists and marxists, for they have no hold in the US.

Right, love liberals who want to silence any opposing views. What exactly is it in the Democratic Party that creates such loyal followers who would trample all over "Freedom of Speech" in order to promote their agenda?

So it's not just capitalism you don't understand, it's the constitution too. Hint: the right to free speech comes from the government, and only applies to the government. Private businesses can limit free speech, such as this board not allowing hate speech and employers wgho don't allow their workers to talk about politics.

I think that you should avoid concluding. You seem to lack this skill.

I don't think the average liberal whackjob's voice is loud enough to matter to me, but we deal with Glenn Beck's slavering zombie followers daily on DP (see this thread). I would care less about Glenn Beck if his followers weren't so annoying.

How do you know people listen to Beck? Really. How do you know?

I think your ploy in this is pretty transparent. You dislike Beck and everything Conservatives stand for and your feeble thought process has you believing you think you can taint them by associating Conservatives with Beck. It substitutes for real debate. Grade School tactics.
