My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND[1]. Is Rush Limbaugh getting married? Is Glenn Beck the answer to some conservatives’ prayers?
Find out all the latest, listen to Mark Levin‘s real-time commentary on Obama‘s Afghanistan speech, and lots more HERE.[2]
Here’s some stuff that didn’t make it into the column…
“Radio Rancid”:[3] British journalist calls Glenn Beck the “scourge of Barack Obama.” Like most UK journalists, he reports on Beck’s “only in America” story of disgrace, redemption and financial success: with a snotty combination of envy and loathing.
(And is the sub/copyediting at the Times — of all places — so bad these days that nobody thought to clarify that Beck, a Mormon convert, divorced his first wife before marrying the second? Or did they think it would be amusing to leave readers wondering?)
If you can’t get enough about Glenn Beck,[4] pro, con or simply confused-and-vaguely-terrified, go here[5], here [6]and here[7].
Liberals like to mock “flyover country” Americans for not knowing what’s going on beyond the nation’s borders, so it was particularly funny when a far-left broadcaster was stopped at the US/Canada border and had to confess her ignorance about a major upcoming event.[8]
Those old notebook diaries are being phased out — today radio ratings are being calculated by Portable People Meter[9]s. But are they “racist”?[10]
Captain Capitalism’s “Talk Radio as Punishment”[11] is another delightful read by that underrated blogger.
9/11 Truther Jesse Ventura disgraces himself on live radio[12] — a scene that was, fortunately, caught on video:
