Your Moment Of Glenn: Beck Goes Bubbly Over Michael Bublé
Anyone who greeted with skepticism the idea that Glenn Beck is positioning himself to be the next Oprah Winfrey for a newly politicized nation need only watch this week’s shows for further proof of the thesis. On both yesterday and today’s shows (and maybe the rest of this week?) Beck has been doing a sort of Beckian version of Oprah’s favorite things. On Monday Beck welcomed some of his favorite authors (and heavily promoted their books) and today Beck spent the entire hour (the entire hour) talking to singer Michael Bublé.
Beck and Bublé, who are apparently great fans of each other (bromance!), discussed such Oprah-esque topics as Bublé’s love life, his plans for children (or lack thereof), and whether “real” men cry. Actually, it was sort of a charming (if slightly weird) hour…no chalkboard! Glenn Beck is good at this. Really. Also, how many daytime-ish talk shows involve men talking to men, I think Beck may have found a niche…another one. Video below.

Rachel Sklar says: Michael Bublé is Canadian.
Wait, the ENTIRE HOUR? Whoa.
Lurker says: Checked his newest album when he was on Beck.
Was at #5 on Amazon
Now it’s at #3
ImNotBlue says: I like Bublé a lot. Bringing some of the classic swagger back to pop music… not a bad thing.
But a full hour… really? Wow… that’s a lot of time.
TfT says: I believe this was a taped show, Beck is off until the New Year. Still he will win the hour, for sure. So no matter how many “moments of Glenn” we see from Glynnis, the one thing we won’t see are declining ratings like Glynnis’s pals at MSNBC (see the Matthews thread).
Oh and PS: CNN had a poll on yesterday with Erika Hill (I think thats her name) where the totals were greater than 100%. Funny how that one didn’t get any attention, like the FNC segment where the poll numbers were over 100%. Just another note on what is and what is NOT reported here.

Don’t like Mike? What kinda music is your groove? (This is off topic, but I’m bored, and my tea is still too hot to drink.)
adamac says: Michael Bublé”s “I’ve Got You Under My skin’” is my favorite. Don’t you think a whole hour for this great singer is less? As n’t to mention his number of hits he has under his belt.
Hey TfT:
Did you actually watch the CNN segment or did you just hear something about it and figured you’d make some sweeping generalization about this site?
While Erica Hill misspoke, the graphic was correct on-screen – so if you were watching on mute, everything looked perfect and accurate. I’d hope you would agree that was completely different than the Fox News graphic mistake. Secondly, I don’t think it’s fair to go hard on people who make graphics mistakes – mistakes happen. I wrote about it after Fox News DEFENDED it.

CNN Reports: Protesters Shout Racial And Gay Slurs At Lewis And Frank (Update)
"Rising tensions on Capitol Hill" is a cliche in cable news, but it may never have been apt than today. With the House currently negotiating a controversial vote on a health care reform, protesters have gathered to voice their opposition to the bill. CNN's Capitol Hill reporter Dana Bash reports today of personally witnessing epithets being used towards John Lewis (D-GA) and Barney Frank (D-MA) by protesters that were identified earlier as "Tea Party people."
Obama’s Final Push On Health Care To Democratic Caucus On Capitol Hill
President Barack Obama spoke in the conference hall of the Capitol today about the health care reform bill which is coming close to meeting enough votes to pass in the House of Representatives, which earlier today decided not use the "deem and pass" strategy to railroad the bill through Congress. "I know this is a tough vote for some of you," said our president, adding "Don't do it for Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or me. Do It for the American People." Pay attention folks, this speech is definitely one for the history books.
