Oh, Don't Listen To THAT Guy: He's CRAZY!

"These are the times in which we live. The gloves are off on both sides. For the moment the Right is winning and there is no greater reason for this than Glenn Beck. To be honest, Beck makes me feel uneasy. He embarrasses me. He often seems like a man on the verge of an ataque de nervios, as Pedro Almodovar once had it. I don’t know if he is going to fly off the handle, blow up or what.

But he also very often seems to be right (small r). Beck has been the first and, for quite a while, the only one to be assiduously connecting the dots between Obama, Ayers, the two Joneses and the rest of the post-sixties crew that seems to have never gotten over the Port Huron Statement, with the Chicago School of neo-Boss Tweed politics. These are dots that should have been connected by the mainstream media long ago, but, as we all know, they didn’t want to look at them. New Media hasn’t done a great job of connecting these dots either because, frankly, we don’t yet have the skills or manpower. But Beck is doing it. More power to him. Let’s help.."


-- Roger L. Simon, reluctantly admitting The Macho Response to NewAge deception - "I don’t know if he is going to fly off the handle, blow up or what" while "connecting the dots" - is beating the socks off all the other approaches (scholarly, humorous, snarky, etc.) used by journalism's more sophisticated Pedro Almodovar-quoting crowd - further revealing the media bias that exists within New Media - like that displayed by the founders of Pajamas Media.
