My comments on the CNN "contact us" page re: Glenn Beck and socal homeowners

[Harper_is_Bush]

Since Glenn Beck is your employee, does that mean you won't report on the outrage of him accusing those of losing their homes in socal of "hating America"?

USA Today has the integrity to cover the story: http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/10/radio-host-says.html

You should report on it, or kiss your "most trusted name in news" monikor goodbye.

Let them know (politely) what you think of Becks hateful comments here:

That's just for headline news....why not let the CNN TV "news in general" feedback folks also know what you think:

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?39

And don't forget CNN International:

And there's always CNN.COM:

I even sent them a "news tip" yesterday. My tip? Glenn Beck accuses socal people who lose their homes of "hating America". That's news, to be sure. News tip contact:

1. What did he say this time?

I was out of town yesterday and missed it.

2. "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. ...... a lot of them are losing their homes"

Full quote:

"I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today. "

3. They haven't been "the most trusted name in news" for a LOOOONG time

While they are not as bad as Faux News (yet?), they have significantly closed the gap in the last 7 years.

[Harper_is_Bush]

4. Agreed, but they still use the monikor, so to point out that not reporting on Beck erodes trust...

..might get them thinking.

In their own minds they're no doubt legends of trustworthiness, so that aspect of it has got to make them squirm when one of their own accuses thousands of California homeowners losing their homes of "hating American", and they remain silent on it.

This is as big as the "nappy-headed hos" comment by Imus, imo.

5. Here is my note to them

Thanks for allowing a racist pig such as Glenn Beck have an outlet

I guess we hate America and that is why we have fires in SoCal

Since you will not restraint this pos... I will be contacting your sponsors and kindly inform them that I will not buy anything from them, as long as they continue to sponsor HIS program on YOUR network

6. Here's my little note:

I positively believe Glen Beck is a steaming platter of pasture pastry.

My sister had to evacuate her home outside San Diego last night.

When Glen Beck burns in hell, I hope the devil asks him if he thinks the fires are as hot as Witch Creek.

7. "pasture pastry". nice. n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

8. Ah nice....the smarmy little bastard is talking about the California fires tonight....

...if he hears "global warming" mentioned once more "blood will shoot out of" his ears.

I can't believe he has the nerve to bring the subject up.

9. I wrote them. nt

10. Beck is a former doper and drunk

And he admits it. I think all that drug use has scrambled his brains. He doesn't make sense half the time on his radio show. He just screams and talks in a goofy voice to make his points.
