PolitiFact | The Truth-O-Meter report card on Glenn Beck
"The government is trying to now close the Lincoln Memorial for any kind of large gatherings."
Glenn Beck, Monday, June 28th, 2010.
Ruling: Pants on Fire! | Details
We'll be fact-checking Glenn Beck and others who speak at his "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. We hope to publish those items in the next few days.
In the meantime, we thought it would be timely to look at Beck's record on the Truth-O-Meter. As you can see from the running tally in his PolitiFact file, we've rated 17 statements by the Fox News talk show host. It's fair to say that record skews toward the False end of the Truth-O-Meter.
His record (as of Aug. 27, 2010):
True 1
Mostly True 1
Half True 3
Barely True 4
False 5
Pants on Fire 3
