Beck Dismisses Potential Radiation Deaths In Japan As Media Over-Hype

Question

Looks like all of the media spin masters are out in full force trying to turn the Earthquake/tsunami disaster into political rhetoric...But I think the real lack scientific information makes the viewer of these people as susceptible to misinformation as other other side..

"First,ann Coulter trotted out on The O'Reilly Factor last night (3/18/11) with her claim that radiation is good for you. "

"Then, Glenn Beck, the king of incendiary rhetoric came on to complain that the media had overblown the concern about radiation leaks in Japan because “the biggest number they can come up with is 4,000 people will eventually die.” But, like Coulter before him, Beck didn't say a word about going over there."

"Surely O'Reilly knew that Beck has been off-the-charts crazy this week with his rantings. Perhaps for that reason or maybe because O'Reilly knows Beck may not be a colleague much longer or maybe out of contrariness, O'Reilly made a point of distancing himself from Beck and playing the voice of reason."

Oreilly > Beck

Didnt you know, radiation IS good for you, it removes blemishes, moles, birth marks, unsightly hair..

SurfApe · Answer

Glenn beck is nuttier than squirrel shit.  Oreilly is a giant douche who is usually wrong, but the man is obviously not a raving lunatic.  Anyone who takes beck seriously should be involuntarily comitted as a danger to themselves and others.

Reason why I stopped watching these clowns on mainstream media CNN-MSNBC-FOX

steveshane67 · Answer

i cant say that hes necessarily wrong. just look at the posters on here, ppl where already saying 1000s of ppl were going to die from radiation at a time when the level was so low, it didnt even warrant notifying the govt. and you had the surgeon general saying ppl should take iodine tablets, EU leaders where saying days ago that the japan reactors where uncontrollable, and fox is the one that allegedly fear mongers right?

just look at all the chernobyl and 3 mile island misinformation thats out there, i wonder how so many ppl become misinformed (sarcasm)

now that power has been restored to the generator that was knocked off line, thus allowing them to cool the reactor as designed, i wouldnt be surprised if everything is fine by monday and no one dies from this.

gers · Answer

Comments like that dumb broad Coultier made is stupidity

steveshane67 · Answer

i agree, i dont listen to her, dont follow her, but lets not dismiss the medias overblown reaction bc coulter said something dumb.  and for the record, the media (and yes espn too) overblows just about everything now since we are in a 24/7 multiple network/online media conglomerate society.

gers · Answer

Well don&#x27;t know much about her but and comments like they made are designed to cause a rift between people.

gers · Answer

And the Neo Fascist climate change movement are using this to promote their agenda.

SurfApe · Answer

"Neo fascist climate change movement?!"  What the fuck are you babbling about?  With comments like that, you and Ann would get along nicely.  Maybe you should read (i don&#x27;t recommend listening, as hearing her voice constitutes aural rape) more of her drivel.  Judging by your ill informed rant against climate science, you would undoubtedly be in agreement on most issues.

I have no fucking clue what you are talking about, but it sounds reprehensible.  I don&#x27;t have a "side" unless you consider science to be one.

Commercials in england are 4 minutes long with exploding people?!  Well, it beats the shit out of those state farm commercials that WILL lead me to methodically butcher the assholes responsible for it when i finally snap and start just fuckingdropping bitches.  Fuck kansas BTW.  You assholes are on the list too.  Sorry, wtf did that have to do with climate change again, aside from whoever made it having the world&#x27;s worst PR guys?

dl36 · Answer

Beck comes across as if you are supposed to take him seriously and I think over a million people in the USA follow his words and take them to heart as the god to honest truth...Oreilly will speak his opinion and give his "spin", but he is meant to be interpreted as a biased narrator or moderator of discussion...Beck is a monologue brain washer you speaks to his audience presenting what he claims to be indisputable facts... like he is giving a lectureFox news used to be more clever in their presentation, but with Beck it is simply mister rodgers in a sweater talking from the TV to the lonely lost children of america...
