Reference: Media Matters, January 4, 2010: Beck's Misinformer of the Year defense rests on falsehoods

Media Matters provides a long list of documented lies and distortions by Glenn Beck in 2009. All Glenn Beck fans should read it. This guy is a phoney who makes tons of money selling hate, but to sell hate, you need to lie and distort.

I won't summarise the list. Everyone should read it in Media Matters. With this track record, Beck has little credibility, but what is even more disconcerting is the number of Americans that believe and repeat his distortions. He's getting rich playing on the ignorance of the populace. And I think that's Un-American.

The First Amendment guarantees him the right to say all these things, but other media sources and the populace needs to hold him accountable for his lies. I for one will not support firms that advertize on his show.
