Scarborough: If White House Is Scared Of Glenn Beck, “We’re Screwed” With Iran

video
» 165 comments

In the ever-evolving Shirley Sherrod story there is one bit of information that relates directly to cable news – Sherrod’s claim she was pressured to resign specifically before Glenn Beck‘s Fox News show at 5pmET.

It was through this lens Joe Scarborough blasted the White House for being scared of “the guy with the chalkboard.”

“If that is their biggest concern they’re screwed,” said Scarborough, while co-host Mika Brzezinski noted that may not have been their biggest concern. But Scarborough pressed on:

The guy with the chalkboard? I mean, seriously they’re afraid of the guy with the chalkboard?! Who cries?! If they’re scared of him, can we please get somebody else to help us out with Iran, ’cause we’re screwed.

Expect this point to be a major topic for both Radio Glenn Beck and TV Glenn Beck for at least a few days.

This led to another interesting discussion about the news media divide – those who rushed to judgment and those who didn’t. Mike Barnicle makes the point very clear the reason Morning Joe belongs in the didn’t-rush-to-judgment camp, despite covering the story yesterday.

Here’s the key part of the segment (h/t @RachelSklar):

    Man, did he hit the nail on the head. All this whining and moaning the left does about Fox News, and how they’re affecting the entire government and every facet of it. When a president cries that one network out of all the rest isn’t being ‘fair’ to him, what impression does that give the world’s dictators?

    Joe got something right ? Mika and Joe : When does your new , improved radio show start?

  • writer

    BTW, the left also claims that very few people are watching Fox when you take the entire population into account. Yet Fox is also so powerful that they’re affecting every facet of government. Figure that one out.

  • MichelleF

    So steve, just so we have this straight, you’re reporting on Joe’s show this morning, but haven’t had the time to put together your piece on the daily caller expose that was released last night?

    Liberal journalists debate shutting down Fox News

    http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/21/liberal-journalists-suggest-government-shut-down-fox-news/

  • MichelleF

    They are afraid of Beck because he speaks the truth, and we know how the left hates that!

  • Azarkhan

    Leftists! Line up, lay your kisses down!
    you’ll say yeah to anything
    if you believe all this but

    no lies, back in the government
    no tears, party time is here again
    president gas is up for president

    line up, put your kisses down
    say yeah, say yes again
    stand up, there’s a head count
    president gas on everything but roller skates

    it’s sick the price of medicine
    stand up, we’ll put you on your feet again
    open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
    president gas is president gas again

  • yweston

    I believe JOE. Because two weeks ago he said “John Boehner” is lazy and hanging in Bars. That would be The Rights New “Majority Leader”. And…he said Sarah Palin does Good TV. But can’t win a Presidential Election. Joe’s and equali opportunity offender (sometimes).

    The WH needs to stop worry about the Spin from those LIARS and PHONEY BALONEY TAPES FROM FAUX.

    That’s The Real Royal King’s territory, always pointing out how FOX is irrelevant with their teeny tiny cable numbers. I’d be curious how he would respond, but I have a feeling his head may have exploded at this point trying to figure out how to have it both ways. And on top of that trying so desperately to spin Breitbart as the bad guy whilst (as he likes to say) having also to berate the ‘brilliant’ Obama administration for acting so stupidly (the true bad guys.) This is so awesome.

  • MichelleF

    Oh but Yweston, they ARE worried. Just as the left, including you, is afraid that your race-baiting strategy has seen the light of day. The jig is up, sister!

  • writer

    yweston, if there was absolutely no corruption at Acorn, why did your Democrat controlled congress vote to drop their funding?

  • yweston

    The President was concerned about the Dummies listening to Fox “whining, whining, whining and whining” We aren’t RACIST. Look at Shirley Sherrod “she racist”. I BET he learned his lesson. Let the RACIST whine. And stop paying attention to those LYING millionaires at Faux leading the Dummies around like “desperate” minnions.

  • yweston

    “@writer

    Guess you missed the latest news because Faux didn’t “spew” it. They reinstated the funding. (Tea Hee)

  • MichelleF

    Mary Frances Berry, Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. :

    She is the former Chairwoman of The United States Commission on Civil Rights, appointed by Jimmy Carter.

    Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

    Enjoy Yweseton! The jig it up!

  • yweston

    If Shirley is smart she should sue the Dept of Agriculture and Breitbart. The Department of Agriculture will Recover very nicely because Farmers Need them. Breitbart will be through. Broke, busted and disgusted unless Glenn decides to give him a handout.

    SUE SHIRLEY SUE!! Become a millonaire and a spokeperson for “race baiting” and paranoia.

  • writer

    That was a left wing appellate judge who temporarily reinstated the funding, yweston. Big surprise, huh? It wasn’t congress that reinstated it.

  • MichelleF

    Um Yweston, if you knew at ALL what you are talking about, she blames the WH and the NAACP for her firing. She said she got caught up in the race war that the NAACP started. Move along, queen race-baiter!!

  • yweston

    MichelleF

    Said: ‘Oh but Yweston, they ARE worried. Just as the left, including you, is afraid that your race-baiting strategy has seen the light of day. The jig is up, sister!”

    Don’t make me laugh.tHE “JIg” is up on Fox. Everybody is talking about Faux and their Phoney BaloneyTapes. They’re beginning to RETHINK ACORN.
    They’ll talk about the WH for a while, but Fox looks lost plenty of credibility. People will begin to look at other sources for confirmation and they won’t all be RW. Rachel Maddow told people last year that ACORN crap was a “Fox scam”. But Righties keeping talking about how they “get these stories” no one else reports from Faux. Because Faux makes up most of their crap. The other news outlets will learn NOT to follow those KLOWNS into the Abyss.

    I’m assuming that your comment is good sarcasm..because I’d be totally comfy if foreign powers were scared of the US based on his television show.

    It certainly makes life easier. Why worry about the Gaza blockade, the Korean War Exercises or any other abundant examples of diplomatic US assistance.

  • Azarkhan

    “Sue him for what?”

    We may find out in court if bloggers (Is Breitbart a blogger?) have the same immunity to libel as the traditional press.

  • yweston

    MichelleF

    I don’t care who she blames. She should just quit and SUE.

    The public is blaming Breitbart and EVERYBODY knows Fox would be talking about that story for the NEXT three months after every other legitimate news outlet moved on. I don’t care what you say Breitbart is DONE and Fox has lost plenty of credibility, Do you think if Faux puts out a tape today people are going to believe it’s TRUE. Sure the WH fell for it. But Breitbart started the lie. Breitbart is ONE of Faux’s boys.

  • Azarkhan

    I’m not asserting he commited libel, but asking what is the legal standard for bloggers?

  • The Real Royal King

    I agree with Joe on this to some extent. In his efforts to reach out and to be post-racial, President Obama has from time-to-time catered to the most unsavory of elements in our nation, like Glen(n) Beck. Hopefully, the episode at hand ends this.

    TRUTH AND DECENCY DIE AT BREITBART AND AT FOX NEWS!

  • MichelleF

    Yweston, you are making a fool of yourself. Fox didn’t even report on it til AFTER BO forced her out of her job. How does Fox lose credibility for that?

    Breitbart’s stock has just increased. He’s the Matt Drudge of the 2000′s. Brietbart used a minnow to race bait an got himself a Moby Dick.

    The only persons she’d be able to sue for being fired would be Tom Vilsack or go for the deep pockets of government, Barack Hussein Obama.

    Maybe Sherrod could get Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer.

    Let the courts decide. She can ONLY GAIN and Breitbart can only LOSE.

    And the Democrat controlled congress did cut off Acorn funding. So King and yweston, why would some of your own people do that if there was no corruption at Acorn? Were all of those Democratic congressmen Fox viewers? If Obama is actually scared of that ‘nut with a chalkboard’, then no wonder Ahmadinejad keeps telling us to kiss his ass.

    You said “TRUTH AND DECENCY DIE AT BREITBART AND AT FOX NEWS!”

    They think this is going to damage the WH because they stood up for “White Farmers” against the African American woman. Guess that puts to rest Faux’s claims that the President favors Blacks over Whites. And….people NOW know

    Be careful lazzzlo, that is their plan. Make Hillary look acceptable so when she swoops in to rescue us from BO we’ll think she’s ok. She’s as bad as he is.

    According to the way the King calculates ratings, no one is watching Fox News. So it seems odd to now be claiming they have power over the entire government.

  • TfT

    Steve:

    Really this is a serious question: Why the silence on the journolist story about FNC and Rush? I don’t get it.

    You folks publish lots of articles about Rush here, and about FNC. I don’t understand the silence on the journolist reveal?

    Is mediaite embarrassed to report it? Are you writing about it??

    You have reported on journolist; yesterday’s reveal showed how impactful journolist was – MSM did exactly what journolist was proposing – find a republican (any/all republicans) and call them racists (see every story on MSNBC for race baiting as prime example of journolists reach).

    Can you please explain, or at least put up an article on it with an explanation?

    Thanks,

    @VegasRudy…

    Bretbart is looking at lost credibility and EVERYONE will be suspect of his intentions and phoney baloney tapes. Breitbart isn’t going to hurt the WH. The Pres. will keep passing Reform Bills and the RW will keep whining and whining talking about Pay-lin and her pink elephants. She’s soooo….funny. She hitches her wagon to Republcans leading in the polls and then pretends she swayed the election.

    Shirley can definitely sue him if he EDITED a video that cost her a job and then went on TV to say he used her to bring down the Dems. Bet Faux won’t run any Breitbart tapes today.

    Attorneys are chasing her DOWN NOW.

    You realize we’ve already discussed how that’s a lie, right? You realize that even TRRK said it’s not true:

    If we’re “afraid” of FOX and right wing media then we should just pack it up and go home. Unless there’s more to come to this story then the Whitehouse is truly “spineless” and afraid to hit back. Screw Fox, Beck, Hannity, Brietbart, O’reilly, and the horses they rode in on. Stand up and fight you chicken sh?t Dems. Take a lesson from Grayson. Maybe he can open his own “dojo” and teach these yellow belly Dems a thing or two. Disgusting.

    Can’t stick with the subject, can you, racist? The naacp has been videotaped being a bunch of racist assholes, and now liberals are falling all over themselves to change the subject, rather than admit that the naacp is a bunch of racist assholes. Which of course makes liberals, by omission, a bunch of racist assholes. Which most of us already knew anyway, but now they’re exposed to the entire frikken world what a bunch of racist fucks they are. It’s all coming apart for them, and it’s hilarious to see them flail about like the bunch of racist assholes they are!

The White House watches every single Glenn Beck Show and cringes as the TRUTH is revealed about the corrupt bunch of Marxist bozo’s who are running this country into the ground. The TRUTH is a powerful thing and people can check it out and verify every single episode and make up their own minds. Maybe this is why the Boy King is falling like a LEAD ROCK in every single poll across the country. The TRUTH will win in the end. Bub-bye, Barry!

    The so called “leftist media” didn’t follow it because of the source. Breitbart and Fox are proven liars, and are know to skirt the truth. I first heard the story in the afternoon on Fox, and then O’Reilly and Hannity/gingrich called for her resignation. O’reilly still is not admitting Fox did anything wrong, and he says he is for the folks. His credibility just went out the window, Hannity never had any. Why is Fox pushing this” irrelevant media” so hard, every repub and conservative are using those talking points now. How much more irrelevant can someone like Breitbart be? He looks and speaks like he is a bubble off, you don’t even see him unless he has some comspiracy for Fox.

    I love the calling of the NAACP a bunch of racist pigs. I think you may be confusing the fact (I used the word fact here) that they are an organization based on race, particularly the advancement of people of certain races who were oppressed. Therefore, yes, every thing they talk about is going to deal with race. It’s like saying, Man, the NRA keeps talking about guns. They’re the NRA. They are not overt racist pigs. They are dealing with the matters. And if you really look at what happened (though, again, the NAACP are not 100% in the right here), they took to task the tea party for having racism within their ranks and suggested, Perhaps you should look at who those people are and purge them. (They never called the Tea Party a racist organization). Now someone points to racism within their ranks, the NAACP overreact, worried they are going to be called out as hypocrites and thus, calls out to the White House, thus trying to make it seem that they aren’t the same as the tea party or the right or something. Unfortunately that backfires and now the overreaction (White House included) is the story.

    Mary Frances Berry, Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn.
    :
    She is the former Chairwoman of The United States Commission on Civil Rights, appointed by Jimmy Carter.

    Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

    The point is, why not give the public the opportunity to decide what’s a worthy story? The NAACP, Van Jones, Acorn, the black panthers, none of those stories would be known by anyone if it weren’t for Fox.

    Actually neither news organization had much to do with the firing. It has more to do with irrational fear of how the thing would be perceived. Of course, Fox could have some blame pointed their way since the WH seemed to be concerned with how they were going to report the story (and yes, that does mean the WH has earned some of the blame as well). But also the NAACP is just as responsible as well as Breitbart. I’m not sure what MSNBC had to do with it.

    The NAACP DID NOT call the tea party racist. They said that it would be good of them to perhaps quell those in the party who are. It would be very hard to call an entire organization and then tell them that they should remove the racist parties, which would be the entire tea party. Olbermann has called them racist. Matthews did a documentary on them, he didn’t call them racist but did point out the racist component. For those who say there is zero evidence of racism in the tea party, two words: Mark Williams. And guess what the tea party did. They quelled his voice, just like the NAACP suggested. Thus, technically, the tea party complied with the “racist” NAACP, thus making them racist? Please, step away from your ideology and actually look at the evidence. I’m trying to, and it does pain me a bit to say the White House was wrong on this. But I’m willing to do it.

    Give me a break! Morning Joe does not belong in the rush to judgment camp! They are right in the thick of the “cult of white victimization syndrome.” Yesterday morning they went on and on about the New Black Panther Party. They would not give Margaret Carlson enough time to give a full accounting of the so call voter intimidation charges that the Bush administration. The general sentiment express on the show was that Obama’s Justice Department was dragging its feet because it was black on white intimation. But in reality, at this particular precinct there were less than 25 registrar GOPs. The precinct was in a pre-dominantly black housing project. There were two guys who were doing the intimidating. One of the guys was a resident of the project, he had a stick, and he was arrested on the spot. Morning Joe didn’t allow Carlson to tell this complete story. His behavior helped to push the rush to judgment!

    As for Glenn Beck, he is a propagandist. Propaganda is a weapon of mass destruction.

That’s what I want to see. Yes, only .3% of population watches FOX, makes sense, it’s a cable network. They don’t have the numbers that network television has. If there are libs that are reading into that number, the important thing is to take into account what percentage of the news analysis networks does FOX hold (FOX and MSNBC are not news channels. They don’t report on the news, they analyze and commentate on news stories. It’s important to note that here, since many seem to believe FOX and MSNBC are news channels). Now, I asked for info, you gave me shoddy info, and then called me wrong. Do you see how that doesn’t really work as a debate tactic?

    So, if some skinheads with clubs stood outside a “predominantly white” polling station, you’d have no problem with that? What a fucken liar!

    Yes, I would have a problem with it. I’m not going to call it racism. I’m not going to say that there is a new Skinhead movement that is now moving across society, clearly spurred on by the fact that the President is white therefore a member and the DOJ is trying to cover up a massive conspiracy. Do I think that this was right? No. They arrested one guy and I hope they arrest the other. Does it need to be some sort of voter intimidation fraud thing? No. It doesn’t. It’s not the same thing as when reading tests were given or any sort of Jim Crow laws from the past that prevented minorities from voting. Didn’t say I had no problem with it. I just have a problem turning it into something it’s not for political and ideological gain.

    Translation: “Although it appears that the doj swept this under the rug for racial reasons, I’m okay with that because it might make Obama’s administration look like the bunch of assholes that they are.”

    Could anyone possibly make the case that the Obama administration ISN’T Nixonian at this point? The administration clearly colludes with other parts of the government (and the Progressive media) to try and control the message in the news and to do preemptive damage control.

    Mediaite weekly shows cable ratings and on that post many libs chime in with “only 0.3%” of the population watches FOX. ”

    I just love to prove libs are liars!

    you called me WRONG! However, I didn’t get the link that I had asked for to back up what was being said, so I can’t be WRONG!

    Sorry, you were wrong! As my text CLEARLY states: :”Mediaite weekly shows cable ratings and on that post MANY libs chime in with “only 0.3%” of the population watches FOX. ”

    Oh, And I don’t fell it is necessary yo provide links to the childish rants of the King.

    You can do that, or are you lazy as well as a liar?

    tsk,tsk

    you’re a racist…no, you’re a racist…your mamma’s a racist…no, your mamma’s a racist
    damn, get a room already..haha
    this just goes to show how the president is trying to bring the country together like he said he would. he was rash in listening to those nutjobs on the right..brietbart and fox..but just like health care, he is listening to what the right has to say and then makes a decision, even if it’s wrong

    No, your text clearly states AFTER I SAID: So, one guy says it, means all libs say it? I’m confused. Then you called me wrong before you said: Mediaite weekly shows cable ratings and on that post MANY libs chime in with “only 0.3%” of the population watches FOX.

    Now, if I may, what you did here was take statements out of context, and reorder them. And as you can see from my text, I put it as a question. Not a statement of fact. I was confused because you answered my question in a way that would make it appear that King was the only one that said that. Then, you back pedaled and called me wrong instead of saying, That’s not what I meant. Here, this is a fact: Mediaite weekly shows cable ratings and on that post MANY libs chime in with “only 0.3%” of the population watches FOX. (Though I could argue that the MANY libs chime in thing could be more conjecture than fact, and also the .3% is actually wrong. The number is 1.5%. A bit higher.) I also gave you an out to discuss the percentage among news related channels (I still don’t think FOX News or MSNBC are news channels.) But you decided to attack me as a liar. I told no lies in my previous posts. I wasn’t looking for King’s links by the way, I was looking for links on the ratings numbers and liberal commentators. If you are so proud of your facts, then you should be able to stand behind them and provide links. Sure, I can go searching all I want for these things. (Not lazy, I’m currently reading up on more of the New Black Panther DOJ issue since I don’t know as much about it as I need to have a debate with someone.) Again, name calling and twisting of context does not make a good debate. I’m not hear to call you an idiot and say all cons are wrong. I want to have a debate, true public discourse, and it seems I have yet to find it anywhere that doesn’t resort to name calling or spinning of facts.

    I’ll admit that I haven’t read all 155 comments, so I apologize if this has been mentioned, but the basis for both “the White House wants you to resign” and the “you’re going to be on Glenn Beck” statements are something a bureaucrat said on the phone to Ms. Sherrod. Perhaps the White House thing was simply an off-the-cuff to apply pressure and the Glenn Beck thing was because the Undersecretary expected it to be covered, nothing more.

  • yweston

    The White House isn’t “scarred” any more. They learned their lesson.

    I am now dumber after reading the intellectual content of this blog. Thanks Mediaite. I do kind of like the partisan hatred out there right now. It makes it much more difficult for congress to pass anything and prevents them from screwing shit up. Keep fueling the hate, that way I have to less to worry about with government intrusion.

    Yes, thank God all those needy unemployed people aren’t going to get any help. Whew! Thank you partisanship.

    yweston: I really feel sorry for you. I will pray that one day you will wake up to what is REALLY going on in our country. That is, if you can tear away yourself from the lieing president and the. “so called” media. They only tell you what people like you, want to hear. Enjoy, because the times are about to change, and I hope you will be with the RIGHT CHANGE this time!

  • Sue

    I feel truly sorry for the Uberleftist like yweston and her ilk. They are truly unable to hear, see or understand what is right in front of their eyes! But, yweston, I am totally against what Sherrod said during her entire speech…that no one discussed….not the NAACP, not the WH, not any African American lefty. She is an activist…my only question at this point is, does Sherrod go to Rev. Wright’s church? That would explain her completely. The truth is the truth and even the miserable Lamestream Media is having their heads spun out of control because of ONE, ONE…count ‘em ONE station, Fox, that is not swimming in the Uberleft’s marxist ideology. Fox actually has people who can read, write and apply honor and principles to their reporting. But, honor and principles are words that the Uberleft threw away decades ago. And, these are words that they will probably never be able to embrace because of their ideology.

    I am truly enjoying watching the libs whine and scream. I love it when neo-cons do it as well just so you know I am balanced on my joy. I am so glad America has woken up… and it just has the progressives so depressed (after all, they run on emotion not logic). So many Americans waking up to the fact that people like Joe S. are typical repubs like John McCain and Bush and Obama is a typical modern marxist (or some variation). All of these jackasses have the facade removed. Liberty is making a come back… (just what the Constitution allows for if you follow it)
    They know FNC has power and it scares them. Hell, it would scare me too if it weren’t for the growth of libertarians on the network (to include FBN)… Beck, Napolitano, Stossel…
    I simply find it amazing that the progressives get mad at you for not participating in their planned control programs and for you espousing a message of freedom. They simply cannot connect the dots that a free society is what makes everyone wealthy (except for the truly irresponsible) and creates a higher standard of living. Instead you must smash the successful to even them with the less successful.
    Message: Liberals, neo-cons, progressives – Go live your own lives and leave the rest of us alone. I may or may not care about the poor… leave it up to me.

    Poem for the day:
    I am smiling
    it makes me smile more
    knowing that it enrages a liberal
    that I am smiling…
