Explain Glen Beck to me (1 Viewer)

[Apple Jack]

According to his wiki page, he once called the wife of a rival station's DJ and mocked her on-air over a recent miscarriage.

 

[jon_mx]

He is the Tim of Talk Radio.

 

[E Street Brat]

I remember Beck back when he was funny.

Used to be a big fan back then.

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

My impression:

THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO END!

Buy gold while you still can!

Buy food insurance, too.

He is a very cautious guy, okay?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

He is the Tim of Talk Radio.

ouch

 

[CBusAlex]

More specifically what are his leanings and agenda? Just saw a YouTube video of his where he shows one of the head honchos in Syria cutting out the heart and liver of someone he just killed and "eating" it. Flash to Putin asking why the US is backing this nutter. What's Beck's angle?

Former drug addict and schizophrenic. Tea Party Mormon

Don't believe anything the government tells you, absolutely nothing. But there's a 21yo kid who found some golden plates in the woods of western NY, he's the guy with the answers.

Imagine if Alex Jones, Timothy Leary, and Mitt Romney all simultaneously impregnated Miss Piggy and she had a kid. That's him.

Why even think of mentioning a good man like Mitt with a creep like Leary & that jackass

The war is over, soldier. Go home, your family misses you.

 

[Politician Spock]

He is the Tim of Talk Radio.

Oooh!.... Good call!

 

[Politician Spock]

I remember Beck back when he was funny.

Used to be a big fan back then.

Exactly. When I realized he was serious about what he was saying, I was like "wait... what? "

 

[skol asylum]

Fear/hate monger. Sarah Palin without the penis.

care to unpack this? I'm not seeing it.

Glen Beck reveals he's been fighting some sort of disease.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/10/us/glenn-beck-health-issues/index.html

(CNN) - Glenn Beck shared Monday a secret he's kept from almost everyone for years: He's been battling a serious and rare illness.

"It has baffled some of the best doctors in the world. It has frightened me and my family, as we didn't know what was happening," the conservative radio and TV host said on TheBlaze, a network he founded.

Eventually, he learned what was wrong: he had a variety of ailments, including an autoimmune disorder and adrenal fatigue.

Speaking through tears, the former Fox News host detailed the progression of his illness and the symptoms he suffered.

Beck said he struggled to remember names, faces and conversations. At other times, his hands would shake and he would be forced to curl up into a ball.

"While I was at Fox, the pain would get so bad that my camera crew, our executive producer Tiffany and I, had worked out hand signals so they would know when to take the camera off of me," Beck said.

"We didn't know at the time what was causing me to feel as though, out of nowhere, my hands and feet, or arms and legs would feel like someone had just crushed them, set them on fire or pushed broken glass into them."

Beck said he rarely slept, but was never tired.

After taking a test for people with traumatic brain injury and testing in the bottom 10%, Beck said he was told he would no longer be able to function in about five to 10 years.

He went from doctor to doctor and tried different diets and medications, but nothing really worked. Beck began to search for his replacements.

At the same time, he said, Beck and his wife continued to look for answers and found them at the Carrick Brain Centers, a rehabilitation center in Texas.

"We went and after a few short visits they found that I had several things going on -- from an autoimmune disorder to adrenal fatigue, and they found the connection on everything that was going on," Beck said.

"Me never having to sleep was finally understandable. The last sign of adrenal failure is a hyperextension of your adrenal glands. In other words, I didn't need sleep. I could have been lifting cars during my time at Fox!"

After months of treatment and changing the way he eats, sleeps, works and lives -- along with hormone treatment and intensive physical therapy -- he believes he has reversed the process.

"My brain is back online in a big way," he said. "I have received a clean bill of health."

I think attention whoring is a requirement to be in the media. The guy's a nut, but I don't hold that against him. All in all, there's probably more that I like about the guy than what i dislike, so meh... I listen to The Blaze from 2:00pm - 5:00pm and whenever WABC has guys on pimping financial advice.

I like Jay Severin. His show is on from 2pm to 5pm.

 

[pantherclub]

gotcha, I thought you were just referring to a straight news show.

Personally I dont listen to political talk shows. During football season its about 50/50 between sports talk and music and after football all music. I find political shows just to be redundant.

That's because God figured out what you were doing, Glenn.

Readers digest version of Glen Beck please.

His biggest inspiration was PT Barnum and a smattering of morning zoo radio guys.

His most formative career period was as a struggling morning zoo radio host.

Early on, he took keys from soap operas and other melodrama and locked into the far-off cry look.

If you would like all this spelled out in riveting detail, please read my friend's book Common Nonsense

Confusing the easily confused and exciting the easily excitable.

He's as real as Larry the Cable Guy or Duck Dynasty. It started out as a "stage" persona and turned into who he actually is, because he didn't have anyone better to be.

 

[Rayderr]

Well, if he wasn't sleeping, that would definitely explain the paranoia and delusions.
