Who else is watching it? Its basically an hour of clips from Middle Eastern media. Pretty interesting stuff, some of it quite scary. Its on CNN at 7/9/12 Eastern time. I will be handing out a quiz tomorrow.

If you want to call showing viewers some of the filth that saturates Middle Eastern TV fearmongering, sure. Did you study for the quiz, Canis?

You're crazy if you think that Glenn Beck's show is anything close to "objective" journalism. As far as filth in the media, which is more deplorable, brown people advocating killing white people, and having no capability of doing it, or white people advocating killing brown people, and then doing it 50,000 times?

Yet another strawman. This forum should be renamed to the strawman forum.

My god - he's on TV now? I went to high school with him - he got me into radio - and today we couldn't be more different.

Ugh. Ever read his book? He admits to incest with his sister.

At first, I was going to write that "You obviously have no clue what is being broadcast on Middle Eastern TVs," but I think you actually do. To compare the Western media, which admittedly has its problems, with their state run HATE TV is disturbing.

Please, point me to places where I can see the Western media advocating destroying the "brown man."

And, if you think their media is ONLY preaching the destruction of the "white man" you really have no clue about this topic. Some common themes on Middle Eastern state run media outlets:

-- 9/11 was caused by the US government or Israel. There is no proof Muslims committed the acts.

-- Everything that happens in the world, happens because it is part of the "Protocols of Zion."

-- Jews kill Muslims to drink their blood (Blood Libel) and to steal their organs to save Jewish babies.

-- The Holocaust didn't happen.

--Promotion of suicide bombings and killing of innocents.

Yes you are correct. 9/11 didn't happen (or was an act of the US or Israel) becuase the "brown people" would not be capable of such a thing. Iran's threats of nuclear weapons is a MYTH, they could not have, and never have, the capabilities. Are YOU so naive and racist that you believe the "brown people" are so much less technologically advanced than "whitey" that they really could not kill anyone.

In fact, suicide bombers don't really exist it's all the white man's myth. The Qasams being randomly shot into Israel from Gaza aren't actually missiles they are planted by the Israelis to make it look like the "brown people" have weapons.

How about the "brown people" (who aren't actually brown) who are murdering the "black people" in the Sudan? I guess you may believe that can happen because they are the "white man."

This isn't brown vs. white really. The stuff that is being broadcast as news on Eastern TV is very dangerous. It teaches, breeds and fosters hate based on lies.

I suppose this is why Gleen Beck said last night, over and over, that he is not a journalist, and doesn't pretend to be.

Besides, saying any "journalism" in this day and age is objective or even reasonably unbiased is an oxymoron.

My impression of what he said is that he was referring to the Middle East media as fearmongering, but reading his other post, I suspect your interpretation was correct.

I didn't get the chance to see the clips that Glenn Beck showed tonight, but this post does beg the question: Are links to clips from Al-Jazeera, Al-Alam etc... "acceptable" in this forum? Many of the things said on these "news" programs and channels can easily lead to hatred or persaude someone to "hate."-- either by believing or being disgusted by what they are preaching.
