3. Was that Glenn Beck?
I heard about him, and what I think of Beck can't be repeated.

5. Glenn Beck ain't CNN. He's like an opinion columnist, not the actual news.

7. He was on CNN and Anderson Cooper and Roland Martin
let him say it and did not try to defend Edwards at all.

8. Cooper is an anchor. It's not his job to make value statements.
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 01:46 AM by Occam Bandage
He should neither attack nor defend an opinion host's opinion.

14. Not watching any follow up,
but Cooper should have at the very least questioned Beck for the statement.

REMEMBER, Corps are afraid of Edwards, and will do ANYTHING they can against him, IMO.

9. He has a show-
Glenn Beck on Headline News. If you think Joe Sixpack does not see him as CNN, you are blind to the impact of the corporate media.

10. And he is very clearly presented as an opinion host, not as a news anchor.
He's a dick, and he should be called out as a dick. CNN should be attacked for giving the dick a show. But what the dick says is not "what CNN says."

13. Not my point.
You're right. I know you're right. They don't know you're right. Did you miss what I was saying completely? Or do you just like to argue silly, and ambiguous points.

15. I agree that it may, on some subconscious level, affect some.

11. so damn typical...
why is he permitted on CNN to say this FILTH. CNN should (ha) apologize for beck. you'd think being close to death woulda changed him, obviously, he's a cold human being.

17. That's better than being a Bushevik.
The real irony is that the neo-cons, these days, are a better mirror for the sort of strictly disciplined, ideologically well-scrubbed mindset the trotskyites used to represent. (The Chimp, "You're either with us, or against us.")

18. Interesting how a bad and narrow ideology left to rot turns into such putrid slime!
