Glenn Beck Is Media Matters' 2009 Misinformer of the Year

"Glenn Beck's well of ridiculous was deep and poisonous before he launched his Fox News show, but the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States -- and the permissive cheerleading of his Fox News honchos -- uncorked the former Morning Zoo shock jock's unique brand of vitriol, stage theatrics, and hyperbolic fright, making him an easy choice for Media Matters' 2009 Misinformer of the Year.

When he wasn't calling the president a racist, portraying progressive leaders as vampires who can only be stopped by driving a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers," or pushing the legitimacy of seceding from the country, Beck obsessively compared Democrats in Washington to Nazis and fascists and "the early days of Adolf Hitler." He wondered, "Is this where we're headed," while showing images of Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin; decoded the secret language of Marxists; and compared the government to "heroin pushers" who were "using smiley-faced fascism to grow the nanny state."

They're all misinformers! Nobody in the "news" tells you what is really going on, but rather what THEY think you want to hear. If you listen to anybody and think your being informed with hard data your not very bright.

kind of funny,,,i wonder if he accepts it humbly...

I agree with 'boredinaz06', too me what's really sad is that none of these reporters in the television media are even talking about what's really going on in the world.

Spoken like true jealousy.

qft!!

Not one single news outlet is informing when it comes to the government.

I watched 9-11 the plane truth. Media hides a lot. All of them.

But I think Glenn is a douchebag.

I think they're all douche bags. Especially Anderson Cooper, Joy Behar, that other broad on the cnn network, Glenn Beck ,Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh! Anyone who disagrees with is wrong!!!

Yeah I agree when it comes to reporting on the 9-11 crimes...but dispite the poster children here trying to justify their ignorances it's clear that POX is absolutely a shill network. They'd like to say "they're all the same" but that holds no truth at all. POX is a wholly owned subsiderary of the GOP/Corporate Socialist machine....heh and that's "holy" owned as well.

CNN is decent for the most part, MSNBC is excellent in reporting and holds a high degree of journalistic integrity and overall credibility. THEY will apologize if they get something wrong. Olbermann is smart and concise, Rachel Maddow is great at snooping out the GOP's follies...always good for a laugh. And they DO tag DEMs when they drop the ball...

I hope someday they HAVE to address the real story behind 9-11...may be a while but it will happen.

You are lying to yourself.
