Most of the media are fear mongers. It is there business model.

So true. Pander to what will keep people coming back for more.

Yes. That’s his whole MO. I used to like him but got tired of it.

Is anyone in media positive?

When he first started becoming big, we'd watch his show all the time

His show was on every afternoon for the first few years of our marriage.

About 50% of the time his show is entertaining. The other 50% is not listenable.

I listened to something from Brian Steltzer this morning. Same playbook, worse

Yeah, because people think they are informed if they watch a nightly news show.

I haven't even heard or thought about Glenn Beck in months. Is he still a thing?

One of many making money by stoking people’s fear and anger. Disgusting.

Yup. He's not the only one by any stretch. But he's terrible.

He’s been a deep state conspiracy theorist for a few years now.

IMO just assume "media" are in it to incite fear, anger, concern & drive clicks

He's 100% a fear monger.

Nothing has changed. It’s sad and embarrassing but apparently works on some.

Kinda tough to be 100% positive when craziness is happening all around us. I'll

What about 2% positive? Can we get that even?

pink22

There are lots of incredibly patriotic people who don’t spin conspiracy theories

He's a provider of infotainment. Self-promoter. Nothing more, nothing less.
