I note with amazement that CNN is allowing global-warming denier Glenn Beck an hour to dispute the "media-hype" surrounding global warming.
I recall watching this nut on the Paula Zaun show recently where he admitted to being a frequent bong smoker before he found god and became a Mormon. Perhaps he has had a bong related relapse because he sure is not making much sense these days.
You might remember that this was the guy who accused the first Muslim member of Congress of working for America’s enemies. Whatever happened to Ted Turner’s desire to make CNN the New York Times of television journalism? I guess those days are long gone.
So what evidence does Beck put forward to counter the scientific evidence he says is "hype"? Well, it seems Glenn’s argument is that this is all a conspiracy to have the United Nations run the world.
20 years ago, a guy like Beck would have been consigned to a bizarre cable-access channel or an obscure AM station in rural Topeka. Now, thanks to the FOX Newsisation of the world this asshole has a national platform. His nut-job views are very much part of the mainstream. God help us all.
Hey, Jack Cafferty I have a question of the day for you. Why does CNN give this prick a paycheque?
Adendum: I do not wish this diary to construed as putting down bong-smokers or Cypress Hills fans. They are all great Americans.
