Thomas Paine Video: Falsehoods And Propaganda
4/20/2009
My last column, Lot’s of Tea Parties – And then?, brought some emails complaining I was beating up on Glenn Beck of the FAUX (FOX) News Network because Beck is “our hero.” What I did in that column is the same thing I’ve been doing going on twenty years: Ask questions. Who is Glenn Beck? How did he become a $50 million dollar anchor on a “conservative” network like FAUX after jumping from the liberal CNN? Why does he refuse to have guests on that would debunk some of what he’s been peddling with hard facts instead of emotion?
Let me give you this screaming example. Beck has had Bob Basso on his show to promote Basso’s video, ‘We the People Stimulus Package.’ The new, modern day Thomas Paine! The problem: Is Basso a liar or just misinformed reading from a prepared script? Either one is not acceptable when putting out a video, not to mention the toxic message he has interspersed with lots of patriotic phrases.
