Beck: I Live In Connecticut Because ‘It’s Out Of Reach Of A Nuclear Explosion In Manhattan’
Beck: I Live In Connecticut Because ‘It’s Out Of Reach Of A Nuclear Explosion In Manhattan’
A new GQ profile of Glenn Beck asks whether the CNN Headline News host is the “most annoying man on TV.” But whether he is “annoying” is beside the real point, which is that Beck has a long history of inflammatory remarks on-air.
The mainstream media continue to reward Beck for his hateful, divisive rhetoric. Earlier this year, ABC’s Good Morning America hired Beck as a commentator, and Washington Post radio is now considering bringing on the right-wing pundit because he “does a good job.” Beck’s television producer admitted to GQ, “He’s a polarizing figure. That’s why we hired him.”
In the GQ article, author Benjamin Wallace claims that Beck “is less partisan soldier than channeler of regular-guy id.” A look at some of Beck’s “regular-guy id” as evidenced by the GQ article:
On the Virginia Tech shooter:
“This guy makes you have respect for suicide bombers,” Beck says, trying out today’s career-immolating zinger. “At least they’re killing themselves because they believe in something larger.”
On living in Connecticut:
In a mirrored room at CNN, on the fifth floor of the Time Warner Center in Manhattan, a makeup artist paints cream under Beck’s eyes while her colleague, idle in a nearby chair, tells Beck that she’s moving to Riverdale, in the Bronx. “At least you’re outside the vaporization zone,” Beck says.
“Really?” says makeup lady number two. “I’m still in New York.”
“You could drop a one-kiloton bomb on Lower Manhattan and be safe in Chelsea,” Beck says.
“Good to know,” the woman says.
Beck: “Did you check the blast radius?”
“No,” she says. “I was more interested in the public-school system.”
“Priorities,” Beck says.
He is kind of joking, kind of isn’t. One of the reasons he lives in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is that it’s out of reach of a nuclear explosion in Manhattan.
On work habits:
A Baltimore producer he fired named Tom Russell — who is not the Baltimore producer Beck fired for bringing him a ballpoint when he had asked for a Sharpie — recalls the time Beck seized him by his collar, hoisted him nearly off the ground, and said he would eat him “for fucking breakfast.”
In the profile, Beck also states, “If we don’t stop believing the worst in each other, we’re dead.” This is the same man who once described Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY) voice as that of “a stereotypical bitch,” hosted a guest who said on-air that watching someone murder the Clintons would be “great,” and confessed that he is “afraid” to have “a lot of African-American friends.”
Rather than a “channeler of regular-guy id,” a better description of Beck might be what Jon Stewart said about him in 2006: “a guy who says what people who aren’t thinking are thinking.”

However, you can make an exception in Beck’s case.
August 20th, 2007 at 1:25 pmGlenn Beck is a loathesome human being, but this isn’t news. But because he is such a grotesque characature, I’m wondering if it all isn’t some grand persona he has crafted for career purposes. It would be horrible to think that a set of parents actually raised that.

The twelve years after high school were a blur of ambition, booze, weighty family responsibilities, pot, expensive cars, coke, workaholism, and dickish behavior.
August 20th, 2007 at 1:30 pmHe lives in CT because he’s a lame, waspy, milquetoast, wealthy white guy who is afraid of brown people. Doesn’t this moron WORK in NYC?
August 20th, 2007 at 1:31 pmHe lives in CT because that’s where his hero Bush Jr. originated.

August 20th, 2007 at 1:39 pmWaPo radio said it. He’s doing his job.
And that job is to stream hard-right eliminationist, xenophobic, brutal rhetoric onto the TeeVee, where less beetle-browed (but no less nasty) talking heads can pick it up. They give Glenn the job of denying global warming and calling the worlld scientific community a bunch of eugenics-supporting Nazis. Muission accomplished.
Glenn is a channel for what they want the regular guy to have in his id.

It is not just the republicans that are effected by the stench it is all the American people as to the world they have also become a stench.
I am just so glad I am not American. Of all western countries I couldn’t think of a worse fate than to have to travel of an American passport or sport an American accent. In my social group no matter what the topic of debate when ever an American talks, by mere fact of being American, they are not given any credability. Its all been lost.
It was pretty obvious from the start that Bush was a dim witted looser born of a wealthy and powerful family. An opportunist – the class clown that would allow his strings to be pulled without questioning just to be part of the gang. The slightly think fool that would have no qualms at doing nasty stuff so that he can hunt with the hounds.
Howevere in having been elected twice what he has done is turned the American people into dim witted losers born of a wealthy nation. An un-inquisitive lot who’s strings can were so easily manipulated. Bush has made the American people appear to the world as as mirror immages of Bush himself.
This is the tragedy for the American people as there are many who did see this but were unable to stop it. If no accountability (the checks and balances) is ever achieved then one thing we will all know is that American isn’t a functioning democracy as they pretend.

Yes, but Adolf Hitler was probably the most evil man of the 20th century. It’s not all that unusual that people might want to try to get inside such a twisted mind and see what was there. I sometimes read Ann Coulter’s column for the same reason — to see how somebody could possibly think so clearly out of the bounds of what humanity considers acceptable (and no, before you blast me, I’m not comparing Ann to Adolf — one was a despotic tyrant, the other one just a hateful columnist).
I don’t think Glenn Beck is like Hitler, either. He’s more like Coulter — making a living by trying to be shocking.
August 20th, 2007 at 1:54 pmSometimes I watch him for short periods of time, just to see what the “other side” has to say. And it makes me ill after about 2 minutes of watching and hearing what he actually says.
That anyone listens, is a total mystery; he is crude, bigoted, a liar…. and looks too much like the rover’s “favorite nephew”, if you get my drift. YECHH!!

August 20th, 2007 at 2:23 pmThere is only one solution for Mr. Beck, the return of the Fairness Doctrine which states, “On controversial issues of public importance, broadcasters have the duty to seek out and broadcast contrasting points of view.†Now the problem is that the Communications Act of 1934 doesn’t apply to cable, but his radio and anything on broadcast television would trigger the act. Activists should consider going to cable franchise application public meetings and demand that your cable system provide some balance. Then again, Beck et. al. may have run their course–it may be best just to give them a mike and provoke them to do what they do best–commit cultural suicide. After all, when the electorate gave the Republicans a loaded electoral victory, they promptly put it to their collective heads and pulled the trigger.

Glenn Beck doesn’t p!ss me off. Neither does Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, or any of the hate crowd. They have their fans, but most people can see them for what they are — hate-filled blowhards all screaming for attention.
No, what makes me angry (I won’t claim to speak for all liberals, but I would be willing to bet I’m not the only one angry here) is a president and a vice president who lie to get us into a war, no-bid contracts for said president’s buddies (that’s MY taxes, dolt!), voter caging to deny people their right to vote, big brother government that can spy on me anywhere and anytime, erosions of my constitutional rights (I could be classified as an “enemy combatant” at any time with no reason given), the loss of respect for the United States by the rest of the world — I could go on and on.
A snark with a mouth and a microphone isn’t even important enough to make the list.
August 20th, 2007 at 2:33 pmI love the way the GQ profile calls Beck’s show the “fastest growing” in cable news. He regularly has the worst ratings of any cable news program, and his ratings are actually less than when he debuted. His radio show is very successful, but c’mon, the HLN show is a failure by any measure.

I agree with you that our media system is badly skewed. A small handful of media giants (who adhere to the corporate-friendly rightwing view) have managed to squeeze out independent players and have turned the radio waves into an extreme orgy of hate.
I would like to see the playing field leveled, but not by any kind of fairness doctrine. A fairness doctrine tends to limit discourse to two positions — rightwing and leftwing — and demand both be represented. Unfortunately, many issues are far too complex to warrant the “here’s the view from the right, here’s the view from the left” treatment.
I would like to see instead an arena where all players have a better chance at competition. Maybe by limiting how big a slice any one player may have.

i tend to agree with you… we need SOME KIND of fairness doctrine…
however, the worst problems began after bill clinton mistakenly signed into law the TELECOMUNICATIONS ACT OF 96…
The Act was claimed to foster competition, but instead it led to historic industry consolidation, reducing the number of major media companies from around 80 in 1986, to 6 in 2005. – w i k i …
BIG mistake…

Of course, as far as the “Librul” MSM Media is concerned, when you’re a “polarizing” right wing figure, you’re as good as gold. But if you’re a “polarizing” “Librul”, you’re toxic and you don’t get hired.
I hate Beck’s “nobody gets it but me” attitude. He is a freakin’ moron that is probably afraid of his own shadow. Homosexuals, Muslims in Congress, black people, nuclear annihilation, what a scared, small man. What he really should be concerned about is how his beloved administration has wiped their collective backsides with the Constitution.
August 20th, 2007 at 3:38 pmBig Media only wants the right wing view. Phil Donahue had the highest rated program on MSNBC in 2002-03 and they pulled him because the network bosses didn’t think the public would accept anti invasion views. They didn’t know that, they just used it as an excuse to pull Donahue.
My suspicion is that they prefer right-wing views because the right is more likely to be composed of docile follower types who can be suckered into purchasing more of the sponsors product. My favorite commercial line is, “Ask your doctor if _________ is right for you.” How many times have you seen a ‘news’ report on drug use followed by 2 minutes of ads for drugs to help you sleep, drugs to help you breathe, drugs to cheer you up, drugs that lower your cholestrol or raise your dick?

You probably think you are tres clever, asking why. But you are just coming off as a disingenuous, argumentive, insubstantial, lightweight intellect, either because you pretend not to understand the arguments here, or because you don’t see anything wrong with Beck’s statements and positions.
Either way, disingenuous, argumentative, etc.

August 21st, 2007 at 3:47 pmIt is horrible to see how news on TV and in the papers has deteriorated to what it is know: biased and partisan. It is hard to be unbiased, but there used to be a time that readers, viewers or listeners had to make up their OWN opinion based on what they heard or read. Now American news is merely based on ’shady figures’ telling us what to think. Were becoming a dumm and uninformed, indoctrinated people. Of course Beck has problems with bloggers: the internet empowers people and provides alternative sources of information. I don’t need him to tell me how the world functions.
