Glenn Beck Hired Video Crew to Cover ‘One Nation’ Rally
On his radio show this morning, Beck said he hired his own video crews to cover the rally talking to participants and shooting other video.

Beck:

We sent photographers down and reporters down. We hired independent crews because I didn’t want to, quite honestly, put a FOX crew into that lion’s den and have anybody have to answer that they were from FOX. So, we hired — I personally hired — independent crews to go down and take photos and do interviews with people in the crowd. You’ll see them tonight.

And does it matter?

You know, this is what I told you about a year ago. I said, right now they’re all saying that they’re not communists, they’re not socialists, they’re not revolutionaries but mark my words, I said, there will come a team when they’ll just come out and say, it doesn’t matter anyway. We’re there, gang, we’re there, and the American people have to decide.

Beck's photo of 2 rallies.

Hey Becky - you sending a crew to Stewart/Colbert rally cause I have a feeling that one is going to blow your "crowd" away.

1. Rather his film crew concentrated on the
Socialists groups that were there and asked leading ?'s that could be edited to sound scary...

3. I happily admit I'm a progressive and I'm happy to explain
what I believe and why.

5. Oh no, we should be proud...
and I believe we can present logical arguements, where as the tea people can't, as witnessed in clips of their people...


But I'll bet that Beck cut the answers to make them sound evil somehow...

2. Notice the shadows extending over the right photo, but not the left.
This allows us to infer correctly that the right photo of the Democratic event was taken early in the day, and the procession of attendees we see walking to the main area from the left also confirms it was early in the day.

The sun is directly overhead in the Beck photo, as the sun's muted reflection in the water demostrates.

Conclusion:

Beck used photos taken at much different times to deceive people. The shot of our event was early in the morning. The shot of his event was in midday, probably 5 hours later, at the peak of the event.

6. At first glance, I had similar thoughts
Its easy to take pictures as the crowd is still small and compare them to photos taken at a later time in a different event.

The Beckerheads will never know they were duped. They will not even question anything from their all mighty beck.

7. With the number of different groups in attendence,
I can imagine that you can get answers to questions from all angles. If we had sent clandestine film crews to his gathering, I have no doubt that we could have make some really scary assumptions too. Imagine the people at his little party who want to kill the president and Pelosi, or who hate all blacks, or who want to put all liberals in prison. There are extremists on both sides, and they can be found if you are looking for them.
