Rachel Maddow: “Glenn Beck Was My Favorite Person Of All Time In Radio”
No you have not gone through the looking glass. Rachel Maddow says Glenn Beck — someone I have compared her to on occasion — was apparently a one-time favorite of hers. Daily Intel reports that at a benefit on Sunday night she had some surprisingly nice things to say about Beck, including the fact that she once used him in an interview as an example of who on the radio she admired most:
“Glenn Beck was my favorite person of all time in radio. When he was in talk radio God wasn’t speaking to him,” she said. “He was funny and much more performative than anyone. He’s amazing in talk radio. He was a political guy. It was him ranting and raving and you sort of felt he didn’t take it seriously.”
“When I got hired by Air America they asked who I like in radio and I said I like Ira Glass, This American Life, and I really like this guy Glenn Beck,” she said. “And I shit you not, the guy who was sort of leading the interview, he didn’t last long at the company, said, ‘We’re going to be a liberal channel.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m pretty confident in my politics.’”
I take it back. There is nothing through the looking glass about this at all.
