I hope that O’Reilly never has to defend me, because he does a really crappy job. He let Joe Klein call Beck a ‘birther’, and Beck has denounced that time and time and time again. I know O’Reilly was talking at the same time as Klein, but dude, you can’t just let that one go. You have to at least set the record straight.
But this proves one thing: Joe Klein doesn’t even watch Beck, or listen to Beck, or else he’d know that Beck is no ‘birther’ by any stretch. He is biased by what he hears but has no clue what Beck is really about. Basically he’s just a hack.
Personally I don’t care if Joe Klein loves or hates Glenn Beck. That’s his right. But O’Reilly dropped the ball in a big way. Instead of painting Beck as well researched and established Fox News broadcaster, he painted him as “every man sitting on a barstool” and then said “why shouldn’t every man have a show?”. Are you serious?
If O’Reilly was Beck’s life preserver, he’d be dead.
