I am pretty sure that if someone says it on television it has to be true.
According to Beck:
Nobody but Glenn Beck seems willing to show footage of Israeli commandos getting attacked by clubs during the flotilla raid
Video: Glenn Beck Airs Israeli Raid Footage | The Daily Show | Comedy Central
Nobody but CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS... (a day before Beck)
Stewart brilliantly shows how Beck can't even help lying about the small things. Everything with Beck has to be a twisting of the facts, or a fear-based hyper-partisan attack.
So, if the 'lame-stream' media actually did show the footage, what's that make Beck... a far-right teller of far-fetched partisan tales? Or, as Stewart much more eloquently put it...
"Mr. Beck lives in a cloistered world of paranoid delusion that is impervious to a priori evidence that contradicts his world view."
Translation: He ignore facts that don't support what he already believes. Ignorance is bliss.
I don't think it was that Beck lied, I think Beck just naturally assumed no one would cover the story, and lord knows there is no reason to fact check.
I would agree with that. Lying is not the same as ignorance.I don't think it was that Beck lied, I think Beck just naturally assumed no one would cover the story, and lord knows there is no reason to fact check.

hahahahahaha
yeah when he actually admitted he doesnt fact check i cracked up! like thats an excuse, how could you not in his line of work.
Anyway his show wont change, some lies, some facts lots of opinion and thats fine since he is nothing more than an entertainer. This isnt the first time he lied and most certainly wont be his last, its part of his MO.
:dito:He's deliberately perpetuating a false belief that the "other" media is left-leaning--which serves two purposes,1) ginning up the GOP base,2) keeping them suspicious of any story that does not come from Fox.
Beck did this knowingly--meaning his staff is not that stupid, the video had aired on every other network 24 hours prior--they knew. They just counted on their audience not checking it out. It's a deliberate attempt to mislead their audience. It's a lie.
That fact that some members of the Beck audience buy this without question speaks to their intelligence.
From what I've seen, Glenn was the only one who showed the footage AND explained who was doing the attacking.
"From what I've seen..." Exactly.
From what I've seen, Glenn was the only one who showed the footage AND explained who was doing the attacking. If his lie was that he thought no one else would show the footage......big deal. I saw it on plenty of other networks, however they didn't elaborate on who was doing the attacking with the pipes or metal bars, whatever they were. In fact they seemed to intentionly lead people to beleive it was the Israels
