Glenn Becks special aired on wednesday and was the #1 show on all cable news that night. This show beat O-Rielly, H & C and Larry K.
Anyways, most of us here have already known how alot of these people are, thanks to the internet. Alot of people do not know how fucked in the head these extremist are. they tell you one thing and turn around and stab you in the back.
Just check out the first 45 seconds of the show...No commercials. Its just amazing how they teach their chidren this crazy shit.

Yep, that's propaganda all right. There's propaganda all over the place -- ironically, the rest of the show itself qualifies. At least the guy makes it clear that biases exist and are worth taking into account. If nothing else, maybe some small percentage of their intended audience will internalize that, rather than nod, conclude "this is fair and balanced", and then howl for the blood of Eurasia until the memo is circulated that Eurasia are allies and Eastasia have always been the evil freedom-hating child-murderers.
EDIT: This is slightly more sophisticated pap than the media they're discussing. At 20:29 there's a custom-made graphic of rockets blowing up a stars-and-stripes-wrapped America. When did the terrorists start launching rockets onto our continent? It's not even in context.
Around 19:20, watch for the kid explaining the deeds of his suicide-bomber father. The translated closed captioning is being spoken aloud by a helpful production member. Presumably this is considered compelling because they juxtapose the buzzword "daddy" with unchildlike descriptions of violence. They really want to make sure the audience sitting at home gets the message -- especially that portion of the audience that can't be trusted to read the text on their own.
They do that again a couple minutes later -- again, for a child, speaking out the closed captioning so the viewership understands that these people have drunk the hate koolaid so thoroughly their children (oh my god, think of the children) follow suit! As though you couldn't find a single 4-year-old in Nascar country who would love to explain at great length how ragheads are babyfuckers who deserve to taste Jejus' mighty sword.
Ok, I've watched 30 minutes of this somehow, and can't do it any more. Clearly the only appropriate response to this is unending war. Oh -- and vote the Republicans back in in 2008 to make sure it happens right.

I thought it was actually pretty compelling in the first few minutes. Holy shit, they think Coca Cola is part of the Zionist agenda? They have TV shows about Israel stealing Palestinian children's eyes? But the more Glenn Beck talked, the more he lost me. I mean this is the same guy who asked the newly elected first ever Muslim Congressman to prove he isn't a terrorist.
