9/12: Media misses the boat again
September 14, 2009 - 13:03 ET
GLENN: From high above Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, third most
listened to show in all of America. Hello, you sick twisted freak. Let
me go to Tim in Atlanta right off the bat and because he was he's been
watching the mainstream media this morning and he says he's frustrated.
Hello, Tim, welcome.
CALLER: Hey, Glenn. Thank you so much for taking my call.
GLENN: Sure.
CALLER: I am completely blown away this morning by the lack of coverage
not only of the 9/12 march that had an estimated half a million plus,
march on Washington plus the lack of coverage of the ACORN scandal. How
are we going to overcome the media?
GLENN: This is so great, Tim, this is so great. You
don't have to worry about it. The media is pounding nail after nail
after nail into their own coffin right now. The American people are
waking up. It doesn't matter. Even if the Washington Post wouldn't have
covered it, everybody in Washington that needs to know, the people are
awake, they know. It doesn't matter if it was covered at all. The
people that needed to hear that message, believe me, heard the message.
If you go overseas, you start to look at some real numbers, overseas
the London Telegraph is now saying that the number is over a million.
CALLER: Oh, my gosh.
GLENN: They
quote a source from the Park Service, the National Park Service saying
that it is the largest march on Washington ever.
CALLER: Oh, my gosh.
GLENN: And
they also quote somebody in the White House saying that the White House
was shocked at the number. Now, you're not going to get that in the
mainstream press here in America, but that's what the Daily Mail is
reporting today.
Now, everybody in Washington knows, and the great
thing is America now understands. America now knows that America is
awake. It is the best news ever. America is awake.
So don't worry about what you see in the mainstream
media. Start keeping track of who you can trust and who you can't. You
know, I said, when was it, last Wednesday maybe when this ACORN stuff
started to come out, I wondered why nobody would cover the Van Jones
story when it happened. I asked for answers. I just wanted somebody to
answer the question: How much power does this guy have, who let him
into the White House, what does all of this mean for the policies of
the president. If he's denied the communist ties and everything else,
then let us know. How many times on the air did I say please, I want to
be wrong? Do you remember that, Pat?
PAT: Over and over again.
GLENN: I
mean, you and I talked about it afterwards. I don't think I've ever
heard anybody on television say I want to be wrong, please, give me the
other answer. Nobody would. Nobody did it. So Van Jones goes away in
the middle of the night. Nobody reported. I think the Washington Post
reported one story on it. New York Times only reports the story that
he's gone. None of the and nobody still today is actually reporting on
the communist thing, none of them.
PAT: They just don't buy it. Oh, yeah, sure. If they
mention it at all, which they usually don't, it was like, oh, he was
communist in the Nineties, he's changed his mind.

GLENN: When?
PAT: When.
GLENN: I'd like to know when. Show me the videotape, show me. Okay, the
next thing is then we started on ACORN. ACORN, we have and wait until
tomorrow. I know there's a videotape out today that's showing the
corruption in New York, and we're going to play some of the videotape
for you today. But we're not going to spend a lot of time on it because
tomorrow will boggle your mind. It will take a full hour on television
tomorrow just to go through the tape and that's not the whole tape. And
you will not believe what I'll show you tomorrow.
So we started showing this. I said, I think it was
last Wednesday or Thursday, I don't remember what day, I always knew
that the press was biased but now, America, you need to understand that
the press is complicit. The press is so deeply in bed that there is,
there is no bias here. Bias is two people watch an accident and one
says, "No, the car no, no, no, that guy, he swerved and he hit him
first." And the other guy goes, "No, I saw it from a different angle;
I'm telling you it happened the other way." There's bias, and that bias
comes from your life experience and everything else. This isn't bias.
This is complicit. There's no other way to read this. When you look at
the ACORN thing how is it? Tax dollars are at stake. The IRS should be
investigating them. The teachers union has given $1.2 million to ACORN,
I think just this year. Now, we have ACORN officials in three cities
now is it three or is it four? Three cities. I think three cities.
PAT: Yeah.
GLENN: Three cities,
going after where a guy dressed as a pimp and a woman dressed as a
hooker go in and say, hey, I'm a pimp and I'm a hooker and we need to
buy a house. They're using tax dollars to advise them on how to cheat
on their taxes and be able to get a loan for their house so they can
set up a brothel of 13 year old girls who are illegal aliens from El
Salvador. And the news doesn't report on it. That's not "I grew up in a
different circle of friends and I have a different point of view." That
is "I'm lying to you. I will no longer I cannot be trusted to tell you
the truth."
Do you remember I've been saying for how many months
the paradigm is about to change. Gang, we're here. The paradigm is
changing right now and unless the mainstream media begins to understand
this, unless the mainstream media understands, there are only going to
be there's only going to be one side standing in the end of this.
There's only going to be the side of the mainstream media that is
currently feeding you not bias but out and out lies, complicit lies.
They're going to be the ones standing in the end, or people that are
telling you the truth on both sides, for and against, the people who
are willing to say, "Okay, look, I was wrong on this one but I'm right
on this one." It's either going to be some sort of a spooky 1984 world
that we live in where 2 plus 2 equals 7 if they tell you to, or we're
going to restore this thing. And I am betting on the restoration of
this country because the truth will always set you free. The only thing
that will stop it is an event. The only thing that will stop it is some
nut job doing something and this government making the case that, well,
we've just, we've got to take control, we've got to take control. We've
got to take the guns, we've got to take control, we've got to do this,
we've got to do that. Some nut this is why, you know, the media can say
whatever they want. "Oh, Glenn Beck, he's..." did you see the story in,
what was it, the New York Daily News yesterday, Stu, where the spooky
thing about Glenn Beck is he's stirring his people up into anger and
hatred and he just wants them to shoot people. Did you see that go
ahead. Somewhere between 50,000 and two million people? I know that's a
hard window to figure out how much it was. Somewhere between 50,000 and
two million people came to the mall on Saturday? Did you notice there
was no violence?
STU: Well, there were all those shootings.
GLENN: No.
STU: There was the bazookas? Remember that bazooka attack?
GLENN: The streets of Washington D.C. probably have never been safer in the last 20 years than they were this weekend.
PAT: Or cleaner.
GLENN: Cleaner.
PAT: Everybody cleaned up after themselves.
STU: Well, but all those Chinese throwing stars, the attacks.
GLENN: No, they didn't have that.
STU: That didn't happen?
PAT: No, they didn't have that yesterday, uh uh.
GLENN: So don't worry about the media. The media you know what? I
PAT: Those are cool, though.
GLENN: I felt
PAT: I like Chinese throwing stars.
GLENN: I felt about a month ago there is no need to hype, there's no
need to be always err I've said this to the staff. When in doubt, leave
it out. If we don't know, if we can't verify it. You want stuff taken
out of context or what may have been taken out of context on things
like Van Jones? Oh, I could have done 1400 hours on that. When in
doubt, leave it out. And the reason why we did that is because I have a
strong impression that the truth will set you free. And these people
will implode on they are going to collapse on their own weight. The
media is going to collapse on its own weight. NBC is going to go down.
They are just, they are going to go down either that, or they're going
to be the state run media. But they are never going to
STU: Going to be? Like what would they need to do to make themselves more would they need to be
GLENN: They would have to erase everybody else's freedom of speech and the government just seizes control.
STU: So you are saying that
GLENN: Maybe BBC1.
STU: So they just need to be the only media. They wouldn't have to change their coverage. They would just
GLENN: They are the only media, right. So they are betting, I think, on
you know, I don't know. I don't know what they are betting on. But they
are either going to go down all the way, because they are not going to
change their ways.
