TV Blowhard Barks at Iran: Let’s Hold CNN Accountable

Let us point out that thre is a difference between a recovering alcoholic and a dry drunk.

Mr. Beck sounds like he fits the mold of the latter.

We would all be better off if he would either get some help or just simply drink.

TV Blowhard Barks at Iran: Let’s Hold CNN Accountable:

Turn on CNN Headline News – a supposed “news” channel – on weekday nights and you’ll be subjected to the lectures of a loudmouthed, factually-challenged, occasionally funny know-it-all whose shtick is that he’s “just a regular American schmoe.”

His name is Glenn Beck, a smiley-toothed monologist and proselytizer who is a recovering alcoholic, talk-radio host, convert to Mormonism and self-described “rodeo clown.” His crude rants would be easy to ignore except that CNN -- part of the Time Warner conglomerate – has chosen to give Beck a primetime platform which he uses day after day to cheer on a confrontation with Iran. (Imagine what an informed foreign policy critic could do with such a nightly forum.)

In Beck’s world, he and his endless parade of like-mindedly hawkish guests are the only ones who see the danger: “It’s Iran, stupid!” Most of U.S. officialdom and media are asleep at the wheel again, Neville Chamberlain-style appeasers.
