Glenn Beck: ‘Fall To Our Knees And Pray’ Liberals Can’t Link Fox News To Hacking Scandal

Audio
» 234 comments

Glenn Beck tackled the News Corp. phone hacking scandal on his radio show today in an entertaining discussion that somehow managed to turn the death of the phone hacking whistleblower and unfair attacks on Fox News into a sarcastic conclusion that Vladimir Putin is actually behind it all and that GBTV might be the last hope for a truly free press.

Beck commenting on the curious and unfortunate death of the News of the World whistleblower:

“The whistleblower on the News Corp. thing – and I love this story – he woke up dead. And they’re saying ‘that it’s not suspicious.’ Ok, I’m not saying foul play was involved, but it is suspicious that he’s dead. . . . Look when you have the Prime Minister, when you have the head of Scotland Yard, when you have the mayor of London, all of them involved in a scandal and you’re the whistleblower – I think you’re in poor health.”

Beck and his crew were having a good time, but Beck got slightly more serious as he worried that if the News Corp. scandal keeps escalating it might reach his former employer, Fox News:

“May I say that we should all fall to our knees and pray that [the escalation of the News Corp. scandal] stops since that is the parent company of Fox News Channel . . . Pray that [Fox News cannot be linked to the phone hacking] and [that the Left's attacks on Fox News] are thwarted.”

Beck was worried that if the Left can smear Fox enough, then the government might intervene in the press based on the justification that capitalism has run amok to ruin journalism. Even if that parade of horribles did occur, Beck suggests that now is the perfect time to subscribe to his new venture GBTV.

Yet by far, the most comical moment was Beck’s legitimate outrage after hearing news reporters claim that the News Corp. scandal might be “spreading across the pond” from England to here in America. Beck wasn’t as angry with the speculation, as much as he was upset with the need to correct everyone: “it’s not a pond – it’s an Ocean!”

    Off topic-

    ~Caracas, Venezuela — Michael Moore has announced his latest explosive documentary: Hugo Chavez, Martyr to Socialized Medicine.

    …When the symptoms worsened for the embattled President of Venezuela, this
    true advocate of socialized medicine went to get treatment in Cuba. The
    island’s Chief Surgeon Rafael Bernardo explains: “When we first operated
    on President Chavez we’d thought he had an abscessed Wish Bone – a
    misdiagnosis caused by the criminal Yankee war of imperialism and the
    inhuman blockade of Cuba. After several unsuccessful operations on a
    Funny Bone, his Spare Ribs, and Water on the Knee we realized Chavez had
    cancer of the Bread Basket.”~

    after Glenn Beck spent all these years bashing other people he is now of the opinion that his former employer is blameless?  I doubt that Fox news is involved in any scandalous phone hacking, there doesn’t seem to be anyone bright enough there to do it.  And I can’t see myself subscribing to Glenn Becks TV thing.  We still have Sean Hannity to clean up first

    What an odd prayer. Not that FOX “News” wasn’t involved in the hacking scandal rocking the Murdoch Empire, but that FOX “News” can’t be linked to the scandal. Seems to me that is admitting linkage and encouraging a cover-up.

  • Michelle

    What evidence do you have that Murdoch knew about and condoned what happened?  Why don’t you admit you have NONE, but you want it SO badly to be true that you don’t need evidence?  You’re nothing but a scumbag liberal who wishes harm on people just because they don’t agree with your warped liberal sense of the world. 

  • Nature Freak

    “GBTV might be the last hope for a truly free press.”
    Glenn Beck is the last hope of the planet (sarc.). He is also a shameless shill for GBTV.
    The world may be coming to an end! Please subscribe to GBTV!
    Glenn seems to actually believe what he says. Scary.

    Glenn Beck would like to be a cult leader really really bad.
    I suspect Glenn at some level of his psyche sees himself as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Glenn is the Big Man, the Son of God, the King of Kings.
    Word of warning: if Glenn Beck gives you some Kool Aid. DO NOT DRINK IT!

    it’s not about fox being involved in hacking, it’s about FCC rules

    to own a broadcasting license in this country there’s some wording that says you must be of good character

    hacking is against the law and there may be some hacking that was done in this country..  to 9/11 victims and to Jude Law when he was here making a movie, he was hacked from somewhere in NY.  if this all pans out then it will end up a lawsuit against news corp and rupert murdoch (btw it is peter king R who told the feds to get involved with an investigation).

    if it turns out there is a case to be made then the biggest outcome would be news corp pushed out of the usa as far as media goes.   

    rupert was an australian and only became an american so he could buy a license to broadcast.

    so in response to what u said, it would not bring fox down but possibly force it into new ownership.

    It really doesn’t matter does it?  MM and MSNBC/NBC CBS ABC and the rest of the lot of liberal propagandists will claim there is a connection even when none exists…indeed they are already tyring to do so, and some are praying and hoping for it to be true.  Even if it isn’t true, they will lie, cheat and steal and say it is, so that Fox will be forced off the air.

    George Soros and MM are behind all this; they planted the hacks…it will all be proven sooner rather than later. (OK,. I made that up, but its as honest as FNC is guilty because some hack at some tabloid in England broke the law).

    The reason’s I do not like Michelle Obama have NOTHING to do with what color she is.  I wouldn’t like anyone who said they weren’t proud of this great country until it elected her husband.  I do NOT think she’s a fan of this country (as seems to be the case with most liberals).  She sat in Rev. Wright’s pew for 20 years and listened to him spew his racist, anti-American crap without any problem.  You can continue to call anyone who disagrees with the Obama’s racist, but it won’t make it true.  And it’s lost a little of its sting, since you libs stated IN PUBLIC that your plan was to call anyone who disagreed with them racist.

    Just to note;
    Throwing out accusations is an old political dirty trick that has now made it’s way into our media. Fox has done it plenty of times. “We’re just asking the question”, and “Some say”  etc. Not that the others don’t but Fox is better and more regular at it IMO. The sad truth is that to often accusations do stick if they are repeated and discussed often enough. We see it on this message board all the time.
    Start a rumor that a teacher is “touching” his or her students, and start an investigation. even if it’s baseless chances are that teachers career is permanently damaged because their name is now associated with the idea.
    I’m having to remind myself to be fair and reasonable concerning the scandal because of what I’ve seen Fox do repeatedly. Now Murdoch seems to be using his other media sources to accuse others of doing what helped make him rich and what he apparently turned a blind eye to while it was making him rich.

    Rev.

Where the hell was Dick Cheney?).  Your obviously have not idea about her biography, cause there’s absolutely nothing in her or her family’s history living off others or any welfare whatsoever. That’s simply a lie. She never said that she weren’t proud of this country, that was a doctored tape

    Will you hold Michele Bachmann to the same standard? She quit her church two weeks before she announced her candidacy for the President of the United States. Something about her former preacher/pastor having an virulent anti-catholic hatred.

    Racism is alive and well in this country, and sadly from the Rightwing’s constant denials — it’ll be around for longtime to come.

    I will not back down when it requires calling out racists, or racism.

It’s appalling that we continue to allow them to spew their vile propaganda and implement it at the expense of our own free speech. There can be only one TRUTH and the truth is that these sick “people” are jealous of Murdoch. They are jealous because they know they have a false worldview that can only lead to failure in all areas of life. They cannot understand the sanctity of life, they cannot understand success or ambition, they cannot understand joyous communion with GOD and the moral wellness He embodies, they cannot understand what it means to be proud of your country or your race. They are blinded by their puppet leaders (Soros) and will not see that they are a threat to everyone. They want to take away our voice, the voice of the only truth.

    “Former Fox News Producer Claims The Network’s “Brain Room” Led To Hacking

    A former producer with Fox News claimed in a lengthy essay gaining new traction this week that the conservative television station has a “Brain Room” in its New York headquarters, which enables employees to view private telephone records with ease. Though published years ago, the allegations have returned to relevance in the wake of the phone hacking scandals
     that have rocked News Corporation to its very core, threatening to topple one of the world’s largest and most powerful media conglomerates.

    It’s easy, just look to FOX, and don’t do what they do – pornography jouranlism.  If it wasn’t for the corporatist monopolyzing anti-free market behavior of Murderoch, he himself wouldn’t be in this mess.  There is no room for Personal Responsibility in the Saudi Arabian House of Murderoch!  How embarassing for Conservatives that they claim to be ‘never forget’ 9/11 and CAPITALIZE on it for political gain at the expense of others, but are marching to the tune of the very people who ATTACKED US!  As an Independent, I watch FOX so I can know what the lies are.  I investigate them so I can see the truth.  Nothing FOX says or does results in good for anyone except themselves, and even then it’s only short term before the truth and what is right comes back to crush the australian media devil.
    FOX = 666
    F = 6
    O = 15; 1+5 = 6

    If you read between the lines, he really truly isn’t saying anything nice about News Corp.

    “Ok, I’m not saying foul play was involved, but it is suspicious
    that he’s dead. . . . Look when you have the Prime Minister, when you
    have the head of Scotland Yard, when you have the mayor of London, all
    of them involved in a scandal and you’re the whistleblower – I think
    you’re in poor health.””

    No one still at Fox would be allowed to say such a thing, it seems to directly imply that he could have been the victim of an untimely death. His second statement is more damning, he doesn’t even try to relieve some heat from fox by saying other people do it or we should focus on more important things, he just says he hopes that liberals dont successfully attack fox with it.

    It seems to me that no matter how much of a devoted conservative you are, such a notion that your side deserves protection from wrongdoing would disgust most reasonable people. He is plainly stated one fact and bring up liberals inappropriately on purpose to bring hardheaded conservatives to the conclusion that this is very nasty behavior. Maybe the fox news breakup was uglier than was led on?
