Liberal Intolerance on TV: NBC wants Fox competitor Glenn Beck fired.
American Spectator | 7.30.09 @ 11:39AM | By Matthew Vadum


Chuck Todd and company at NBC News are outraged that conservative talker Beck won't --or can't-- be fired for calling President Obama a "racist." They blogged as follows:

*** On the Glenn Becks and Howard Beales: The White House doesn't want to give Glenn Beck a bigger platform or extra oxygen -- especially regarding his remark yesterday that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture" -- so they won't comment, even off record. Beck, after all, is a radio DJ who somehow ended up getting a national platform to give his opinion on politics. What's most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn't a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it's now encouraged. And all of this could turn ACTUAL journalists into the next Howard Beales. It's getting nuts that the folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists. Whether it's former political consultants-turned-TV execs or former radio DJs, or former California socialites, the folks helping to accelerate the public's perception of the media off a cliff made their livings trying to do other things. Of course, Beck's crazy language could have one unintended consequence: It could cost him bookings with any Republicans who want to be popular outside Beck's hard-core bizarro-land viewers.

So much for the national discussion on race relations that leftists and journalists say America desperately needs. :roll:

Todd attended George Washington University from 1990 to 1994; although he majored in political science and minored in music, he left GW University some credits short of a degree.

Before coming to the world of political reporting and analysis, Todd earned practical political experience on initiative campaigns in Florida and various national campaigns based in Washington, D.C.[6] While in college, Todd worked for the 1992 presidential campaign of Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and later started part time at The Hotline.[7]

correct me if my 5 minutes of "quick" research is wrong,,, but he really wasn't a journalist either.. before he became a political commentator.. editor ect.


while I find it funny that Todd a person so connected to the democratic party would be concerned with how many Americans perceive journalism, by blaming it on others "rants" when the fact is many know of Becks wackiness, and the bias of the known commentators.. but how many know of Todds connections to the democratic party.. and how that effects the liberal bias of his reporting?
