Beck told his audience to record the show yesterday because a new board would be unveiled. So…Media Matters recorded. What they caught was Beck cheating against himself at Connect Four:
Did you see that? He declared red the winner even though yellow had already won.. If I’m not mistaken, there were four red pieces in a row on his right-hand side, too.
Beck’s subject du jour was the Yosi Sergant nontroversy. Beck says he doesn’t want his mind changed by art, and asks whether the audience wants
someone who’s getting real political discussion every day, or someone making their choice on health care from a painting or a Broadway show?
I would love a “real political discussion” to happen on Faux Noise. If it did, I would have to stop calling it Faux Noise. The reason I keep calling it Faux Noise is that what takes place on Faux Noise is anything but a “real political discussion.”
Somehow, Beck gets away with making statements like that even though he admits he is not a journalist; the Faux Noise Channel gets away with acting as a right-wing opposition propaganda organization; but when the White House asks arts organizations to consider maybe, possibly thinking up ways to promote clean energy, public health, and American renewal, that’s a danger to freedom.
See how that works?
