This is a quick rant of mine that I'm emailing to Beck.
I didn't mind the truther question being asked (although it had nothing to do her being governor), I was mad at the unprofessionalism demonstrated by Beck toward Medina.
*Compare Beck's condescending tone to his grovelling at Palin's feet.
*When he asked her to tell him about herself, she did, then she went on to say she got in the race because of Perry's bad stances. To this Beck said she didn't answer his question. Beck lied.
* The long pauses after her answers to imply she's a kook was unprofessional, especially when she mention small government principles.
*The way he introduced her as "dangerous" was over the top.
*The way he claimed to know nothing about her-- what kind of journalism is that from someone who claims to question everything.
*Despite this not knowing anything about her he said he received overwhelming emails asking about her truther stance-- Does anyone besides me call bull on that? No one had discussed a truther stance before. Maybe he received 1 email from the Perry campaign.
*The worst was the way he hung up on her and spun her answer to make her look like a truther, when all she said was that all the info on 911 hadn't been released (very true) and that she wouldn't fire a truther unless that perspective interfered with their work.
*His giggling at the end mixed with homoerotic remarks towards Perry was not informative nor entertaining.
*He obviously had nothing else planned for the rest of the show other than to mock her.
*Does Glenn have the same distrust of people who question the information released about Global Warming, the Kennedy assassination, Gulf of Tonkin incident?
*Later, Beck accused Hutchinson of using this for publicity when it was Perry who had robo calls being sent out within 90 minutes of the interview. He made other slights of hand to steer people to Perry as well.
*The most offensive one for me was his trashing of "Republican Grassroots Activists" in general. His call for people to become "independents" weakens the grass root's voice. We need more people like Medina actively pushing the people's will on the party verses the party and media pushing it on us. Nothing threatens media elites like Beck more than those who rise through the ranks without Beck's and other elitist's approval.
*Any time spent listening to Beck's show in the last week will demonstrate that he is in Perry's back pocket.
*Medina also claims, Beck must have turned down the volume so she couldn't hear him when he tried to interrupt to make her look bad. After listening to this interview and other of Medina's interviews when interrupted, I have to take Medina's word. She generally responds to the interviewer. Also based on passed demonstrations of integrity I'll take Medina's word over Beck's.
*This is just a short list.
