Glenn Beck pins blame for 9/11 attacks on Saudi Prince, News Corp. stakeholder

Haven't you had enough?"

I'm sure the announcement of his new website following the rally was entirely coincedental.

"We got trouble my friends, oh we got terrible, terrible trouble...."

 

no, too many Jews in a Florida retirement village, more like a GlennBeckistan would be more like a Georgia trailer-park

 

Those that are using the 87,000 number are lying to themselves. Oh, and you have to love Newsbusters.


"If you thought media coverage of the Aug. 28 "Restoring Honor" rally hosted in Washington D.C. by Fox News host Glenn Beck seemed like just another attack on conservatives, you're not alone. As noted by the Daily Caller's Jim Treacher, much of the coverage had a common thread: describing the crowd as "overwhelmingly white."

While the term was certainly used in coverage of Beck's rally, it's not a new label. "Overwhelmingly white" is a prime example of the media's groupthink on Beck, Tea Parties, and the conservative movement in general. Virtually every major "mainstream" media outlet has used the phrase in just the past year to describe conservative events.

But even as the media criticize Tea Party and other conservative rallies for an apparent lack of diversity, they struggle to bring minority voices into their own operations.

All three broadcast networks have described the Tea Parties as "overwhelmingly white." So have CNN, MSNBC, NPR, the Agence France Presse, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, National Journal and US News & World Report. Many of those organizations are the very ones the news industry discusses as having failed to make diversity goals for staff."

This thread should be locked because it is just the same old left-right pissing contest. Yawn.

 

It is laughable hearing news orgs harp about the lack of diversity in their ranks.

Or relying on the estimate of a professor who specializes in that sort of thing, and was beloved by the Right when he gave the lowest estimate of the turnout at Obama's inauguration.

 

. . . while not addressing the question about the TPs being "overwhelmingly white".

Disingenuousness, in the extreme.

Do better. These curves wouldn't fool a first-grader.

 

Can we just agree that a lot of people were there -- with the possible exception of Hitler?

 

Herr Beck draws a very homogeneous crowd
