This should end any more discussion about this credibility. I honestly feel sorry for him. But, I always feel for the handicapped.

Heh. Glen Beck. He's a clown, an entertainer. The View isn't any better, either. It's a liberal slamfest with one lone, and very ignorant cutie named Elizabeth Hasslebeck on it who tries to speak for conservatives and does a really sorry job at it. When I want a laugh, I can choose the View, Glenn Beck or Jerry Springer.

Um, never in my life of watching Glenn Beck have I ever heard him say, "believe me on this." He has said plenty of times for people to investigate things themselves.
He has never said about himself being a news reporter, or an investigative reporter or anything like that.
He has always been a commentator, he has never claimed to be anything but that.
And you are taking the View and Keith Olbermann seriously? Those are commentators as well, but from the other end of the political spectrum lashing out at Glenn Beck and the right-wing like always.

Haha so your discrediting a reporter on fox news from the View?
barbara walters and an ex-survivor cast away giving you the facts straight up...oh and whoopi!
It's clear Beck isnt book smart but he's a better newscaster than anyone on the view
These people get their jobs as newscasters because of their personality and ability to read lines...not because they are smart.
I guess you didn't watch the video. if you did and you still discredit the View and support Beck, you and I disagree about what social responsibility and human behavior really mean on the big screen.

Keith Olbermann and his "Worse Person" gig is a joke. It is virtually always a FOXNEWS person that he picks. The reason is obvious. FOXNEWS commentators kick his butt in the ratings, and it galls him no end. Olbermann is one of the meanest, dishonest persons on MSM.
Note how the video clip was edited. You can edit anything to make it look anyway you want. Beck admitted that he was a commentator, not a news reporter. Olbermann is a commentator also, not a news reporter. Both give their OPINIONS, NOT FACTS. If that is the definition of lying, then indeed, all commentators are liars. As for the View, a bigger group of left wing-nuts has never been assembled on one show.

I'm sorry he went on The View. He knew they wouldn't discuss anything of substance. What a waste of his time.

He was dreading going on the show. He knew he would get picked apart.
Women are great at arguing...and when u are up against 3 of them...you can't win! I can't win against one!
Crap television...i would have loved to hear them talk about coming inflation or our unsustainable debt...instead it's WHO SAID "HEY" TO FIRST crap.
It'd put it in line with the Jerry Springer show.

I think that, from time to time, Beck says some important things that the MSM otherwise ignores. I also don't like The View, or anything about it. With that said...to lie about and mock the panel of The View right before going on The View is in poor taste at best, and stupid at worst. What did he think would happen?
This is the internet era. Radio broadcasts don't just vanish into the aether.

However, Glenn Beck reports on things that no other ‘Reporter’ or ‘Commentator’ would touch; such as the growing groundswell of grass roots anger at taxes and the fascist takeover of the private sector, the corruption, lies and cover-ups of the Obama Administration, the moral bankruptcy and duplicity of the Republican Party and the growing sentiment for Revolution across the political spectrum in America.

Glen Beck is good at what he does and I enjoy listening to him. If you prefer getting spoon fed pre screened agenda riddled news story's continue listening to the other so called reporters.
Granted he touches on some "out there" subjects at least he has the moxie to take the time to do so. If you think he is out there for some of the topics he discusses I find it confusing that you would say so in a place like ATS where pretty much anything goes. Just because he touches on a subject does not mean he endorses it. He just brings up subjects that viewers and listeners key on.

Thing about a rodeo clown is that it's their job to essentially distract the big angry bull from trying to attack and impale the cowboy while he gets out of the way. So in a way Glenn Beck could be beneficial to us by distracting the big angry bull for us or else he could be distracting us being the big angry bull. Goes both ways.
Big Angy Bull. Hey, I thought Rosie left the View. Badda Boom Badda Bing.
Sorry, Rosie. Couldn't resist.
As for Beck. I like him for what he is and for what he claims not to be. He gets people to think for themselves and to take notice of what is going on right under our noses most of the time.
He's got stones for facing the Hags of the View in person. He knew what he was in for. [/quote
Yea, he has nads for being a lying douche and trying to deny it. Yea, that's real stones.

Obermann is just as biased of source of information as Glenn Beck if not more so. Look at Obermann's clip people. Everytime someone on the View accused Beck of something, they cut off Beck's response, and go to another accusation, then cut off his response. Find the full segment from the View, without Obermann cutting and snipping so the slip fits what he wants it to say.
And yes, Obermann too is just a News Commentator, like Beck. This piece is just as biased and useless as would be any from O'Reilly or Beck ripping on Obermann and using a heavily edited clip to remove responses.
Actually, Olbermann's "Worst Person" gig is a service to the ignorant public who don't get the straight facts from the MSM. And if you think Fox News actually is fair and balanced, you have issues that probably are irreparable. I mean, GWB actually got elected twice. There are some real dumb asses living in this country calling themselves "real" americans.

Ah. no. Olbermann showed this Beck fool lying and denying he lied to the women on the View. Get your facts straight and show me where Olbermann did this. Nope, Olberman actually cares about truth and honesty. But, you wouldn't knowthat unless you watched him for awhile instead of Fox "fudge" News.

Well, what Olbermann did was a service to society. He outed one of the liars that would like us to follow their psychopathic thinking into the abyss.
