He doesn't even know how to act like an adult anymore. What is with all those mannerisms and ticks and grins and shit?

Obviously his main goal was to not make the news and avoid losing another truck load of advertisers. He is clever enough to avoid adding wood to the dying fire that burns under him.

He's smart, you're right. I wish he *would* add some fuel to the fire. It might matter to folks like you and I that his statements are clear and supported with evidence, but most of his viewers aren't going to think that hard. They hear "white culture" and can't define it either, but they still have a gut instinct that they know what he's talking about and agree with him.

Beck's style of propaganda isn't scary because of what he says, but because of how easily his viewer-sponges soak it up.

White culture for the civilized, moral people as opposed to black culture. You know, kids out of wedlock, welfare queens, drugs, AIDS, rap, rape, murder.

When someone like Beck speaks of "white culture," it's pretty obvious what he is implying. Who knows whether he actually believes it or whether it's just for ratings, but it surely isn't something that just slipped out innocently.

Szlia has it spot on. The way he acts in the beginning really looks like an indicator that someone high up gave him a talking to.

He just should have asked her to give her definition of what white culture was first.

So the interviewee should ask the interviewer to define a term that the interviewee made? Genius....

It was a gotcha question that she would have had just as much trouble answering.

Turning questions like that back person asking them is fair game.

Besides its one new person interviewing another news person so why not.

It wasn't a gotcha question. It was asking him to define his own words. She is not the one that originally said "white culture" so asking her to define it is asinine. If you think just saying back to her "Well can YOU define it?" is a valid debate tactic you must be learning how to debate from crazy chicks(my ex gf would do this shit) and 4 year olds.

The fact of the matter is that Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and all the other pundits are never called out for their bullshit to their faces in a format that forces them to take responsibility for their words. It one of the major problems of the News media in this country.

This is what happens when they are.

If Glenn Beck wants to be heir-apparent to Rush's porcelain throne, he's going to have to learn to only appear only on safe and/or friendly venues.

It wasn't a gotcha question. All glen had to say was white culture was baseball and applie pie. A nice politically correct and vague answer. The fact that he couldn't do that much is very surprising.

I see now. You're one of those people that looks for reasons to be offended. It must be frustrating to go through life like that.
