Mediaite Story Gets Debated (Even Praised !?) On Glenn Beck’s Radio Show

On Glenn Beck‘s radio show today–without Beck, who’s off to the doctor–Stu Burguiere and Pat Gray discussed a recent Mediaite story by Matt Schneider about Beck’s defense against what he sees as a “hatchet job” on him by The New York Times.

Burguiere and Gray seem to think Mediaite’s “fair,” (what!?) and Beck’s team read extensively from Schneider’s article, which, oddly enough, includes a reference to Beck himself reading on-air from the Times article “in humorously ominous voices, as they mocked what they perceived to be elements of poor journalism.”

Today, Beck’s team described a cavalcade of “attacks” on Beck, saying most deserved no response. But Mediaite, they concluded was a rare voice of fairness deserving of mention. (Did we say anything about feeling slightly uncomfortable being singled out for praise?) “We enjoy Mediaite, because sometimes they’ll bash us, sometimes they’ll say something nice. I think they’re pretty fair. I think they’re like the media, they call ’em like they see ’em.”
