Chris Matthews, Joan Walsh and David Corn….speaking of looney toons….

I see at MSNBC they’ve switched from Palin to Beck this week in their personally-attack-a-conservative crusade.

Pitiful. And their ratings show it.

“Beck’s idea, interpreted by Matthews to mean that the American left is contributing to the Egyptian uprising in order to help bring about a “coming insurrection” is what Matthews concluded was an attempt to “distract us from any kind of serious conversation that might involve thought.” Unlike say a whole segment dedicated to determining whether a cable news competitor is emotionally stable, which is just the type of serious conversation requiring intense thought from Hardball viewers?”

If Matthews had at any time had also dismissed the notion that the right/tea party/conservatives were responsible for the Tuscon shooting, I might actually give some credence to what he is saying now.

For fun, look at the picture above included with this article
of Joan Walsh, Tingles and David Corn. Grade them by

COMCAST is NOT going to continue putting up with
this kind of shit and the ratings that go with it for long!

Watch!

MSLSD is not a news network. It is a network about news networks.

RRKING speaks . I knew David Corn ‘ s father in the old days . We called him Pop .

Breaking news: Glenn Beck Talks Egypt …………………..

Chris Matthews talks about Beck talking about Egypt.

MSNBC is an utter joke. Everyone knows the entire network is partisan.

Fox does a much better job of providing both sides.

Don’t forget Bachmann.

Also, there is no proof that the MB won’t be put into power. When you have a country where political organizations aren’t organized, especially in a time of anarchy, you have more possibility of the formed political organization (MB) to take hold.

Tingles is entering into crazy stalker territory.

Is this all they do over there? Seriously? With all the crap going on in the world, they seek to discredit another person on another network and his opinions as opposed to looking inward at their own blatant bias on any subject whatsoever? This back and forth stuff gets us nowhere.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 2, 2011
http://codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=5682

Why can’t (or won’t) Matthews see that the show he created and nurtured about American politics is now an hour long diatribe about what OTHER networks are doing?

He’s not even arguing politics anymore, he’s just ranting about another TV host.

Headed for Olby land.

Is it weird how MSNBC talks abut Fox News more than Fox News talks about Fox News or it just me?

How many people actually believe Chicken Little Beck?

Chris Matthews: Glenn Beck’s Theories Are “Looney Tunes” Trying To Distract Us From Thought

Walsh is watching someone fall apart on television . Sure . She’s got a good seat for that .

Can someone please put together a week long study to determine how much MSNBC talks about FNC in a week?!

Everyday, another story about MSNBC attacking someone on FNC. Is the angry left really this simple?

grafxmail7 said:

How many is irrelevant. What IS relevant to this post however, is Chris Mathews devoting his shows (and Maddow) to what Beck says. In other words, his MSNBC political affairs show isn’t talking about the uprising in Egypt, his show is talking (and asking 2 other people their thoughts, seriously?) about what Beck is saying about the uprising in Egypt…..

lean forward? they’ve fallen over.

You know, it might just be a lot more noticeable now since Olberdouche isn’t in every 3rd headline here.

The left doth protest too much about Beck.

If he is so insignificant and crazy, why bother talking about him?

Instead the left has a pathological obsession with all things Beck.

If they really wanted to make him go away, or at least quarantined to just his audience, then they should stop talking about him- constantly.

But I guess either they are afraid that wouldn’t work, and Beck needs to be taken down at every opportunity, or he is just good for ratings, since liberals get so easily frothed up just by mentioning his name.

GBR is foaming at the mouth as we speak. Thank God for restraining orders.

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it” – Saul Alinsky

Ever notice just how often almost all MSNBC pundits do this? It used to be Limbaugh/Coulter=conservatives. Now it’s Beck/Palin/Bachmann.

When people spend 95% of the time talking about the person instead of the policy , most rational people use their critical thinking skills and tune out. That should explain their ratings………….

If the measure of MSNBC’s journalistic integrity is now what degree of vitriolic rhetoric they can bring to the table to substitute for analysis or how many insult-laden personal attacks of the opposition they can get into one segment I think Mathews might be in the lead

Take away the bad guys and what do they have to run on? Their actual records, economics? Haha.

Is that a joke? I’m pretty sure you just described the Republican philosophy for the past ten years. You see, the big bad corporations actually did almost destroy the world economy. That is an indisputable fact. Class warfare? In 1981, the top 1% of the American population had 8% of the country’s wealth. In 2007, they had almost 25%.
The right/FoxNews/Rush spend all day long scaring the hell out of old people and misinforming young people. I will agree that sometimes Matthews spends a little too much time on it. But Fox News needs to be called out. Radical Muslims, Socialism, Communism, Fascism, blah blah blah. All this stuff that Fox talks about all day long that hasn’t happened.
What in God’s name do Republicans run on? Issues? The economy they spent 8 years destroying? Oh man you are too funny.

My fellow asshats…I have some really, really bad news (remember don’t shoot the messenger!):

News Corp 2Q Earnings Double On TV, Advertising Strength

In the fiscal second quarter, News Corp.’s cable networks division posted nearly $2 billion in revenue, up 12% from a year ago, and its operating income rose 22% to $735 million. Ad revenue at its domestic cable channels, like the Fox News Channel, increased 12%, while domestic affiliate revenue was up 10%. The unit’s international operations saw ad revenue up 27%, while affiliate revenue was up 17%.

If you’ll go back and read the posts (and the article) you’ll see we’re not even talking about what Beck said or says or eats etc. We (here at the grown-ups table) are discussing the original article, that being Chris Mathews devoting his show to bashing another TV host.

Try to keep up. Nice try though trying to pick a fight about Beck, but we’ll stick to the subject at hand, Chris Mathews and his dwindling braincells and audience.

I find that there is no litmus test to be a conservative. That’s why conservatives believe in individualism as opposed the lefts collectivism.

This is the reason why the left all think alike. Most conservatives are able to listen to something and filter it through their own beliefs and critical thinking. For instance I happen to be an atheist and for gay marriage, and nobody on the right has ever tried to tell me I’m not a conservative. Group think is the antithesis of a conservative

God forbid you deviate from any left wing thought and you’re disowned completely. Try asking any black person or woman who doesn’t tow the line.

This is the reason why most folks watching Beck, we are able to filter to whatever is going on. We also don’t walk around saying yucky things like “it takes a village to raise a child”. .

I’m talking about Chicken Little Beck’s theories and the people who believe them. Are you one of these people?

What you personally are talking about has no significance to me. I just like to laugh at people like you! HAHA!

Now for your silly comeback! You can’t help yourself HA!

We all know Beck’s banter is complete nonsense, and he’s mostly assumed to be a disingenuous money-hungry fear-mongering cult leader charlatan, but even this… I mean it’s just out of the realm of reality. It’s totally possible that he’s trying to create a fantastical story to gain back falling ratings, but it’s so outlandish that it makes you question his reasoning skills. Except for those goofy conspiracy theorists who are supremely paranoid, consider themselves sovereign, and are totally anti-government would fall for this. No normal conservative could ever believe this crap, right?

I have to wonder how long Comcast is going to allow MSNBC to spend hours a day attacking Fox News. Comcast does business with Fox and I am sure Murdoch is laying down the law. MSNBC has turned into media matters where they spend all their time and resources attacking a competitor. And MSNBC ratings continue to fall. What a business plan they have going on.

Fact: Liberals use legislation to “protect” us against corporations. Republicans generally dislike legislation on businesses(big and small).

Fact: Corporations not only benefit said legislation, they lobby for it. It not only kills the competition, but it prevents upcoming competition.

Do you think Phillip Morris lobbies FOR tobacco bans on advertising because they care about preventing the youth from smoking? NO. They want the ban because it hurts competition and ensures their hold on the market.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2009/06/obama-teams-philip-morris-beat-tobacco-industry

That’s one example of 1000′s. It’s the way things get done. When you can’t compete in the free market….use government.

My only problem with liberals is their lack of understanding of economics. It’s hard to be rational about these things when you are so emotional. When you understand the harm of overregulation and big government bureaucies, you look at things a bit different.

By the way bringing up scaring old people is pretty topical being that the Dems are currently telling people that the Republicans are trying to do away with social security.

He said on TV that China is going to take over all of Asia, the southern part of Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Russia is going to take over the old Soviet block and “plus maybe the Netherlands”. Yeah, they’re just going to jump over Germany or France and get the Netherlands. Chicken Little Beck probably doesn’t even know where Holland is.

How embarrassing for all of them, and to think they actually talked ratings! Bwahahahaha

Chris has lost it- it’s past straight jacket time.

“Can you show one thing he has predicted that has come to pass?”

Here’s 10:

Financial trouble (he was years ahead of the rest of the media).
He predicted Obama would beat McCain.
The Democrats running off of a cliff after getting in to bed with leftists for power.
The price of gold.
That the individual is the key to fixing the problems in America, not one man (unlike liberal faith in Obama aka “hope and change” for example).
The Obama administration won’t call him on the red phone.
Collapse of Greece and others.
Feds printing money out of control.
Leftist violence (not a hard one to predict)
Keith Olbermann leaving MSNBC.

Now I’m pissed off — Matthews has insulted a whole genre of cartoon characters by comparing them with moonbatshitcrazyfucker Glen Beck.

No, it just means Mathews is making a jab while pulling some of Becks viewers (like yourself) to his crappy show… They both suck…it’s just too bad most people here fight about who’s more credible, instead of realizing the flaws.

You have a point, but Palin and Beck will never bury themselves…until Beck gets too crazy for even Fox (which I could see) as he already makes O’ Reilly look like a lefty…Or Palin’s sex tape gets released and that would make her a megastar in our beloved America…after all we contain quite a few brainless viewers who tune into FOX news (mostly opinion) who keep the ratings high for these fools. But, hey..Matthews ain’t much better

This is exactly what Chicken Little Beck said:

“There are three powers that you will see really emerge. One, a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mid East and parts of Europe. Two, China that will control Asia, the southern part of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand and God only knows only what else. And Russia which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands? Not really sure. But their strong arm is coming.”

He’s on Fox “News” at 5pm and he’s saying this.

All you wackos can point fingers at Dems all you want and try to distract what this story and thread are all about.

This man is an demagogue entertainer selling fear. If you’re buying it and you’re trying to defend him then you’re just plain pathetic and stupid.

I’m starting to think that grafx doesn’t have an answer for me.

Why, if Beck is as dumb and crazy as you say, do folks like Matthews spend so much time talking about him? What’s the point? Is there so little going on in the world that Beck is such big news? Why bother?

I don’t think grafx has an answer.

Funny – you’re on page four of a thread about Matthews.

@ Howard

Do you really think that Matthews will steal any viewers from Beck by attacking Beck?

I don’t think so. And the ratings back that up.

Beck fans (which I am not) will babble about him on sites like this, but not enough to watch his program. That’s a bad ratings strategy.

The judicial smackdown is on.

Matthews to Walsh: Why do 2 million viewers watch Beck and less than 500,000 watch me?”
Walsh: Chris you are a GOOBER!

@ Bill

So? What’s your point?

That I shouldn’t use my “huge national platform” on this media discussion site to… discuss media? Are you equating my microphone with that of Matthews?

Mathews is probably still smarting for having twice been featured on Beck’s radio show where Chris’ ‘critique’ of Michelle Bachman over the founder’s speech was exposed as an ill-informed and disingenuous partisan hatchet job; the type of analysis with which Mathews is increasingly comfortable giving.

So Matthews and the left frequently talks about Beck because… you’re scared?

Sounds like fear mongering. I thought the left was against that.

I don’t know about Liberal Tormentor, but I only see the storys that Mediaite and others write about him and that’s the only exposure of Chris Matthews that I get. And honestly, I don’t think I comment on a lot of Chris Matthews stories except maybe to say what a balloon head he is.

Oh Chris, Bless your chubby little artery clogged heart. Your making everyone forget Olbermann in less than a week. You truly are the liberals savior. Rock on Christine

Here’s 10:

When you are “years ahead” it is easy to make predictions.
Lemme try one…

“I predict in the future there will be an enormous earthquake and a famous celebrity will die.”

How much you wanna bet I’m right?

Beck fans remind me of those Nostradamus idiots who, in hindsight, swear he predicted everything. lolol

If Beck is as foolish and unworthy as you say, why does Matthews bother talking about him so often?

Nope, not a fan. Don’t want his lecturing.

But you don’t need to be a fan to see the hypocrisy and the foolishness of the Beck haters.

It’s called “honesty.”

ImNotBlue said:
@ Howard
Do you really think that Matthews will steal any viewers from Beck by attacking Beck?
I don’t think so. And the ratings back that up.
Beck fans (which I am not) will babble about him on sites like this, but not enough to watch his program. That’s a bad ratings strategy.

ImNotBlue said:
I’m starting to think that grafx doesn’t have an answer for me.

Why, if Beck is as dumb and crazy as you say, do folks like Matthews spend so much time talking about him? What’s the point? Is there so little going on in the world that Beck is such big news? Why bother?

I don’t think grafx has an answer.

Your question doesn’t make sense because I never said that.
I never said Chicken Little Beck was “dumb and crazy.”
I said the people who believe him are dumb and stupid.

Do you believe him? Are you defending him?

ImNotBlue said:

Did you read what he said? I’ll paste it in here again for you:

“There are three powers that you will see really emerge. One, a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mid East and parts of Europe. Two, China that will control Asia, the southern part of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand and God only knows only what else. And Russia which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands? Not really sure. But their strong arm is coming.”

When someone (Matthews) calls him out for saying that on Fox “News” you call that hypocrisy? You must be one big Chicken Little Beck fan!

“he is definitely losing his audience,”

There you have it. This has become the crusade of the loony left and MSNBC. All they seem to care about is attacking prominent right leaning figures and hurting their credibility/ratings. Its like the Daily Kos took over an entire network. The rest of the MSM is biased to the left, but MSNBC has taken it to psychotic new levels.

That’s what I say. If he and Palin were as stupid and crazy as they claim, why wouldn’t they just stand back and let them bury themselves? The fact that they can’t go 5 minutes without talking about them means they must be doing something right.

The liberals only attack what they fear. They fear Palin, They fear Beck. They fear Rush, etc.

@ grafx

Ah… so you think it’s the people, not the personality. Interesting.

But if that’s the case (which I don’t believe), why doesn’t Matthews spend more time talking about Beck’s fans? Why does he and the angry left spend so much time talking about Beck himself?

That’s exactly it. Plus, when they lose viewers are get criticized, their kneejerk reaction is to move even further to the Left – which means their lunacy actually increases.

The real question is why is Beck such a hit for Fox? Rating, ratings, and ratings…. blah, blah, blah… Ratings only prove that republicans are brainwashed by their T.V. , and need their lies spoon fed to them. The fact that you believe the shit you hear is even funnier… Especially Beck Propaganda extraordinaire! Maybe you should question what you hear and search for credible sources for real news. Your ratings only prove my point even more.

What are you just trolling around this thread looking to defend Chicken Little Beck?

He said on TV that China is going to take over all of Asia, the southern part of Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Russia is going to take over the old Soviet block and “plus maybe the Netherlands”. Yeah, they’re just going to jump over Germany or France and get the Netherlands. Chicken Little Beck probably doesn’t even know where Holland is.

This stuff is F***ing Hilarious!!!!

If you believe this stuff…..you’re not hilarious, though….you’re a joke!

Cite, please.

@ grafx

So you think that Matthews needs to spend his time “correcting” Beck?

If Beck is so obviously wrong -which is what you’re saying- why would Matthews need to talk about him at all?

Why does he garner so much of your attention?

LOL at Chris talking about Beck…

“Don’t even buy green bananas. The Reckoning is upon us.”

I truly hope Palin runs for office, because this would only guarantee that Republicans stay out of the Presidential Seat.. These nut jobs only hurt your cause.

@ doctor

Um… what? No the question isn’t about what Beck says… at least, not at the moment… the question is why Matthews cares so much?

Do you have an answer for that?

RowdyHoward said:

The thing is I used to watch Mathews as a liberal whose analysis I could respect, if not always agree with. Until I discovered he had a switch on the back of his neck and was inclined to contradict himself upon the receipt of marching orders. I don’t suspect Beck has such a mechanism. His analysis, even if you disagree with it, is genuinely the result of probing questions.

Right, like I’mNotBlue said..not me…I never said he steals veiwers. That would imply that Beck fans didn’t watch their beloved Beck and tuned into Matthews…wrong.

However, you can’t deny that Matthews has indeed pulled you from your normal activities in order to view this(whether it is in fact watching Beck or spanking to porn)….and how did both of you pass over the meat of that original comment? Come on this is boring!

@ doctor

I ask again, are you really comparing my microphone with Matthews’?

I don’t pick the stories that appear on Mediaite. I just offer my opinion.

@ grafx

I don’t really care what Beck says, so I offer no opinion.

I am interested in why a featured program on another networks finds Becks words so important and influential, that they make them the focus of attention.

Of course, I’m equally interested in why you continue to dodge the question I posed. But by this point, I think that answer is obvious too.

Yes, he sure does…the only problem is his switch only has one setting…irrational!

You keep trying to make fun of this bit of analysis and dismiss it for some reason. In trying to kill the messenger, or at least so close your mind to his analysis as to become impervious to it, you ridicule away the legitimate aspirations of elements from those societies. Do you deny that there are those who wish to see the return of the Caliphate, a historical institution that included the Middle East and parts of Europe? Do you deny the existence of Chinese strategists and militarists who would like to expand China’s world reach? Do you deny that Russia has not already attempted to wield it’s petrol strength and return the bloc countries to it’s sphere of influence?

Deny any of these points, regardless of the fact that it was from Beck that you picked it up, and you’re denying a reality simply to spite yourself.

Let’s see….we have two of the goofiest internet/print dunderheads on the show with the goofiest of all the goofballs on TV today, Chrissy ‘Tingles & Thrills’ Matthews telling us how we should be looking at Glenn Beck who has 5-8 times as many viewers/listener’s/readers as those three (3) nutjobs combined….ROTFFLMFAO…! I mean salon.com is and has been for a long time a complete and totally bankrupt company, both financially and morally. And David Corn,, he is as low on the totem pole as Chrissy….nobody reads his crap and nobody watches Chrissy’s crap. Just look at the daily ratings on the internet. Chrissy is getting clobbered by everyone at FOX News and CNN. Chrissy is only a few points ahead of the terrible morning show, Morning Joe (coffee). Can we say Comcast to the rescue!!!

@ ImNotBlue
Do i believe chicken little Beck??? Apparently not, like Rowdy Howard stated, Beck has definitely flipped the switch to irrational. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to cover that, Beck is off the deep end. It just plays into the best new American soap drama that is Red vs Blue.

ImNotBlue said:

No, you have missed my point. It’s really not one dimensional…I am giving a small reason as to why Matthews wastes any time calling out Beck…of course it’s not only for ratings…but you are dreaming if you think that ratings aren’t boosted slightly when an opposing host of another program insults, invites on the show, or shows a clip of the other host in an attempt to belittle a viewpoint.

You’ve missed it, if you believe otherwise, please share with me why you think Matthews wastes time on Beck?

Sure I can. Like I said, I hardly ever comment on Chris Matthews stories. When I do, it’s mostly to say what a balloon head he is. Like this story. The following comment is the only comment I made on this story until you said that Matthews gets Beck viewers by bashing/talking about Beck:

Following in the footsteps of Rachel Maddow, today Chris Matthews piled on by criticizing Glenn Beck’s latest theories and concerns regarding what the Egyptian uprisings mean for the rest of the world.

It’s like not watching a movie because Robert Ebert said so. He crapped all over Friday the 13th, and I love that movie!

Look, I’m not really a Beck fan. I realize that he takes facts and comes to conclusions that are way out there sometimes. But i don’t need Maddow or Stewart to do my critical thinking for me.

@ Doctor

I’m not sure what you’re referencing, it’s certainly not the questions I asked.

But you really believe that Beck is one of the most important stories of the moment? Really? Seems awfully self serving (for Matthews) if you ask me.

@ Howard

I don’t think there is any evidence to suggest that Matthews’ numbers have been helped by Beck bashing. And if that’s the best way he can get ratings, what positive does that say about him and his program? (answer: nothing)

I believe that Matthews believes he can take over the Olbermann hole, but only if he gets really angry, and really far left. He believes the attention and interest will follow, if he follows the KO model. I think he’s employing a failing strategy… and the ratings agree.

Cute.

You should stay in the shallow end of the pool and stick to ad hominems. It better suits you.

I ask again, are you really comparing my microphone with Matthews’?

What does that mean!

You asked me if “I believe what Chicken Little Beck is saying,” and once again apparently I do not! The simple fact is Beck is way out there (craziness sells). Matthews is poking a snake (Beck), waiting for him to slip up and spark a feud. As far as Beck being the most important story, I would say it is the most ludicrous story of the moment.

Like I said before “one big soap opera”! Both playing the other!

OK, from the transcript:

I believe, that I can make a case in the end that there are three powers you will see emerge.

One — a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mideast and parts of Europe.

Two — China, that will control Asia, the southern half of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand, and God only knows what else.

And, Russia, which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands. Not really sure. But their strong arm is coming.

Guess what Maddow cut out? “I believe, that I can make a case in the end…”

That’s perfectly ethical, nay JOURNALISM!!!!, to pick up a quote mid-sentence. That’s how you tell exactly what somebody is saying. Rachel is God!

Do you know what a hypothetical is, grafxmail7? I do. Beck does. Maddow apparently does not. That’s a goddamned dumb Rhodes Scholar. More from the transcript, and I’m gonna go all Rachel and take Beck out of context, but only for brevity’s sake.

“Maybe I’m wrong”

“I don’t know.”

“Maybe I’m wrong. And I know they’re going to call me “chicken little” and everything else” (Ooh, pegged you there, didn’t he?)

“What do — can I just play this scenario out?”

Unfortunately, the transcript ends shortly thereafter. But, we’ve got Mediaite! (Thanks, Dan!)

“Could you play this out with me and just humor me for a second?” 3:05

“Play this out with me.” 3:52

“IF the Muslim Brotherhood and the radicals would take over like they did in 1979…” 3:58

“IF it happens over here…” 4:09

So, discussing what COULD happen is actually prophecy. And dumb old people take it as Gospel! Meanwhile, Russia, China and the Muslim Brotherhood are just knitting and petting their kitties, with no expansionist intentions whatsoever.

I wish I could live in MSLSDland where the only thing that anyone could possibly need to consider a threat are those damned teabaggers and Fox News. But I’m just not ready for the lobotomy.

No, john, I’ll look at was actually said so I can contrast it with what MSLSD has to say when they’re busy broadcasting the important breaking news of what actual news networks are saying. Next time, just type “Baaaa.” You’ll save yourself some time and convey the same meaning.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Apparently, I win, because I typed more HAHAs than you did.

BTW, I’m not really arguing with you, because you’re an extremely stupid sheep, and I might as well argue with my desk lamp. I just wanted to pull all that together for posterity. The internet never forgets.

HAHA! You were arguing until you weren’t arguing.

So easy to make fun of people like you.
The true believers.
You get all worked up when people make fun of Chicken Little Beck and you go out call them all stupid.
Yeah, that’s smart!
HAHA!

You’re still a joke for believing the rodeo clown! HAHA!

Now come on rodeo clown! Say something funny! Defend Chicken Little Beck some more!
HAHA!

Are you actually trying to say Beck is a “news program”?

INB says: If Beck is as foolish and unworthy as you say, why does Matthews bother talking about him so often? That’s what I say. If he and Palin were as stupid and crazy as they claim, why wouldn’t they just stand back and let them bury themselves? The fact that they can’t go 5 minutes without talking about them means they must be doing something right.

brainwashing. they got that down pat.

grafxmail7 said:

I don’t believe that Beck’s hypothetical is prophecy that will come to pass. But he definitely pegged you, and I believe it because you proved it to be true. Of course, he wasn’t just spitballing there, though. Educated guessing, you could reasonably call it.

Kat said:

Nope, no paranoia there.

If the RWers on here would actually watch Matthews they would see he has 5 different segments on his program. One is where he talks about the idiotic things tv personal and politicians say. But they’re too busy being lead around by the nose by Beck.

He couldn’t come up with anything half intelligent.

That’s why I don’t believe in polls no matter who they favor. They poll between 900 and 1500 people and that’s suppose to tell you what the whole country thinks. That’s BS.

And by the way! I’ve been calling Beck “Chicken Little” for years. Beck stole this from me!!!

If I had a chalk board I could show you the chain of events but I’ll leave that for another time.

Don’t forget kiddies, Chicken Little Beck works for Foxy Loxy “News”.

The funniest thing of all is how MSNBC spends 90% of every hour starting with Matthews going after FOX News and their individual hosts. Keith was the first and he went after O’Reilly and all it did was send viewers over and O’Reilly’s ratings grew while Keith Olbermann is now out of work.

Then Chris Matthews started going after Glenn Beck and Beck’s viewership increased while Chriss has lost a ton of viewers.

And then Ed Schultz started going after Sean Hannity and Ed has wallowed around in Chriss’s low numbers while Sean has been at 4-8 times the viewers of either Chris or Ed and 2-4 times as many viewers as Rachael.

MSNBC is now struggling to beat CNN (CNN has been winning at all hours over MSNBC of late). Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper and even Parker/Spitzer and John King have been whipping Chris and Ed.

Too funny, MSNBC. Hire some adults Comcast that can get your pitiful numbers up so you can at least be in the same ballpark as CNN. You’ll never reach FOX News, not even come close but, at least 2nd fiddle is better than striking out completely! LOLOLOL

Matthews spent 5 to 8 mins talking about Beck. Could you explain how that is 90% of one hour?

no argument from this corner. according to TV by the Numbers, FNC still ranks top, then CNN comes in second, MSNBC 3rd, CNBC 4th, and trailing last is HLN. (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/02/02/cable-news-ratings-for-tuesday-february-1-2011/81265)

is it any wonder why Chis Matherws is losing viewers? no. just because you don’t have to agree with Glenn Beck, it doesn’t mean he’s “fear mongering” or “loony”. Journalists should be investigating a story that comes up, not pick scripted stories and report on them while ignoring other very important stories. Glenn was right how reporters of the so called “mainstream media” picks scripted stories of their liking on what they want to report rather than investigate the story and report from all sides. the “mainstream media” is not doing their jobs and Mainstream America are trying to tell the “Mainstream Media” what is really going on. Mainstream Americans know that the mainstream media picking the stories on what the media wants to report rather than get all sides of the story and hard core investigation and connecting the dots on anything that sounds odd and something is not right. Fox News, conservative talk radio, and the internet give you that option to decide for yourself and they balance the sides and get to the middle. that’s why Fox News’ slogan is “Fair and Balanced” because they get the story for all side and “We Report, You Decide” because they give us options whether we agree or disagree, Mainstream Media fails to do that and they only give us one side from the left and far left than people picking a side on their own liking. Chris Mathews mat be a hard ball to the right, but he’s a soft ball with the Ubber Left!

Why do all the Chicken Little Beck believers always come in with the whole ratings argument nonsense.
This article is about the garbage Chicken Little Beck is trying to sell on his show.
This article was about what he said:

“This isn’t about politics. This is about world domination. The world is about to be dominated by maybe a couple of handfuls.
I believe, that I can make a case in the end that there are three powers you will see emerge.
One — a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mideast and parts of Europe.
Two — China, that will control Asia, the southern half of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand, and God only knows what else.
And, Russia, which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands. Not really sure. But their strong arm is coming.
That leaves us and South America. What happens to us?”

That’s what the whole premise of this article is based on.
It’s not about ratings. It’s about whether or not you believe this.
While I find this hilarious, at the same time I find the people to actually believe this and defend Chicken Little Beck to be a complete joke.

Do you believe what Chicken Little Beck said above?

186 Comments on this thread on Beck??
Why are we still talking about Beck?
I thought that the severe verbal ass-whuppin’ BOMBSHELL, Sr
put on Beck the last couple days effectively put Beck into
early retirement.
Beck was not on last night!
WHAT?????
He just TOOK at night off???
Damnit, “SHELL” !
I thought you had him1
Does that mean FOX is going to be around for a while also??

Yes, you’re too stupid to watch Glenn Beck. Ouch.

Pablo said:

Yes. In Glenn Beck’s case it is making shit up to scare his sheeple shitless.

Glenn Beck said there was a Communist in the White House. He was right. After Van Jones quietly left the administration, no one cared to ask why an admitted Communist was asked to join the administration in the first place. And what credentials does a Communist have when given the task to create “green jobs”? Glenn never asked for Jones to be fired. Glenn just wanted an open discussion on why Jones was chosen and what he has to offer America as a Czar. And what was the administrations thoughts on Van Jones dressing radical revolutionary tactics, that fail when openly presented, in a fancy suit and obscured language. You know, since they are the “transparency” administration this should be pretty easy to discuss.

And yet they run from any open inquiry. Why?

In other news, the Obama administration gives emissions waiver to greedy exploitative Capitalist Empire that they are in bed with? http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/02/obama-issues-global-warming-rules-january-gives-ge-exemption-febr

By “making shit up” do you mean the video and audio of those being discussed? That is called “using their own words” in context. In Obama’s case, if the context was wrong, all they had to do was call the red phone and set Glenn straight. No calls. Ever.

Someone is scared. And it isn’t Glenn Beck or his fans.

The Left IS scared of Beck, Palin, etc. But they are moving past the US. The Tunisia and Egyptian crisises are Left-wing generated (or at least ;left-wing supported.)

Code Pink is on the ground in Cairo and Soros is weighing in too. All of this is bad news for the people of the Mideast.

Thank goodness that if you miss a show on Fox, you can always catch it later on MSNBC.

I ask again, are you really comparing my microphone with Matthews’? What does that mean!

Really? That’s me asking if you’re comparing my influence and platform with which I speak my opinions, with that of Matthews. Do we reach as many people… or perhaps the fact that I’m on this site talking, and he’s got a television program are, you know, different?

You asked me if “I believe what Chicken Little Beck is saying,” and once again apparently I do not!

Huh? Who asked that?!

The simple fact is Beck is way out there (craziness sells). Matthews is poking a snake (Beck), waiting for him to slip up and spark a feud. As far as Beck being the most important story, I would say it is the most ludicrous story of the moment. Like I said before “one big soap opera”! Both playing the other!

Look, I get it… Matthews is attacking Beck for publicity. My question is, do you think it’s working. Frankly, there is no evidence to suggest that it’s doing anything positive for Matthews, and Beck appears to be ignoring it.

What you say about me doesn’t matter. It’s the fact that you believe and follow Chicken Little Beck and that’s laughable.

You try to make your self feel better by lashing out at other people with things beside the point.

The point of this article and thread is Chicken Little Beck sells this snake oil and you’re a joke for believing and defending him.

What’s laughable is the current state of the left and their argumentative and rhetorical bankruptcy. Even at a national level, all they seem to have left in the tank in response to probing questions are insults and characterizations. And when that’s insufficient, and the likes of Chris Mathews’ stark anti-intellectualism is put on display, the natural inclination of fellow travelers is to try and start a flame war to distract from it. What’s laughable is how evident it’s become there’s little behind the modern left but thoughtless indoctrination.

So, tinglelegged Mathews says that Beck is loony tunes. Yeah Chris, but here facts: let’s see, the Muslim Brotherhood founded in the 20’s, by a sexual sadist psychopath who beat his four wives daily with a heavy buckle belt every day, just so he could have sex. You guys choose great advocates for your positions. Do any of you know the history of the Muslim Brotherhood? It doesn’t matter what country on the planet may have an uprising, underneath, the slime you will find them working hard to insert themselves at any level they can. Once in, they’re like rats that scurry throughout the body politic and destroy freedom, and work to instill Sharia where possible, from within. This just a modicum of the hate they have for infidels. I don’t care who you are, where you come from, your sex, your color, age, health, wealth, or infirmity, they will put you to death. Hopefully a quick death without torture…they laugh at you guys for your weak stomachs when it comes to waterboarding…you ain’t seen nothing yet. Keep on supporting them…speaking out for them and when they come for you (cuz there is a branch in nearly every American college), don’t say you were not warned. They are part of every terrorist group there is: al qaeda, hamas, hezbollah, code pink, every anarchist, communist, marxist to name just a few. They do not care. They simply will put everyone to death until they are left with Muslims following the faith, faithfully. Just remember, they started in lthe 1920’s, before Israel, Iraq or Afghanistan…it has to do with their religion dictating their way of life.

Once again, Chris Mathews misses the point by allowing his visceral hatred of those who disagree with his views and his great overestimation of his own intellect to critically analyze an event that could have a profound affect on world affairs. The possibility of the Muslim Brotherhood taking over the government of Egypt and eventually establish a caliphate in the middle east is not a far-fetched right wing conspiracy theory. It has historical precedence and could be a likely scenario depending on the philosophical proclivities of the army officer corps and the general disposition of the average Egyptian, an unknown at this time. Mathews seems to make all of his judgments based on media events and his own awkward interpretations of history. Egypt has a long history of people not organizing outside of government sanctioned organizations, and the Mubarack government made sure this tradition was codified and enforced. The Muslim brotherhood has managed to organize as much as they could get away with it, and outside of the Egyptian government, they are the most organized group in Egypt. Throughout history, the most organized dissenters have always usurped the peoples revolutions and taken over either during or just after the anarchic chaos, by promising order and improvement over the former oppressive government. That never seems to work out. The French revolution was hijacked by the Jacobins who were far more lethal and totalitarian than King Louis ever was. The National Socialists in Germany had a mere 38% plurality before the highly organized NAZI party under their Fuehrer prevailed in the 1930′s. You can cite many more including Mao in China and the Ayatollah in Iran not too far back in history. We have also recently experienced unrest in Tunisia, Jordan and Yemen, who are by Islamic standards have moderate governments. The transition from dictator to Islamic rule may not be immediate but look for it to be sooner rather than later. The army may be full of Islamists. That is the only unknown and if they take sides with the Muslim Brotherhood and establish power, look to the other Arab states to follow suit. This could take place in Saudi Arabia. If 40% of the worlds oil is controlled by an oligarchy of Mullahs or a single Caliph, the inevitable financial collapse will occur much sooner. This is not crazy talk.

stevefon2004 says:

“If 40% of the worlds oil is controlled by an oligarchy of Mullahs or a single Caliph, the inevitable financial collapse will occur much sooner. This is not crazy talk.”

Right, it’s ignorant but skillful manipulative fear-mongering. It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil” too. I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.

Stevefon2004, your analysis is flawless.
