seriously what little i saw of the beck show today made me feel like such a naive fool for having asked a question about coded race-baiting. i mean, i was thinking there's no way someone could go on tv and be so flagrantly racist in this day and age, right? hahahahah

in general I am a huge fan of the Panthers (not least because of their media/art design savviness, which was unbelievable)

I went to college with a girl whose parents were both in the Panthers, who had (at the time) an Icelandic boyfriend. We joked that if she moved there she's have to change her name to J0ju Eldridgecleaversdottir.

I know that Glenn Beck believes a big chunk of what he's saying but I really wonder if shit like that isn't intentionally funny.

well, far from shaking him when he does that, laughter on that front fuels him and his audience. 'Those ivy-leaguers think our spelling errors are more important than saving our country from the Oligarchy.' And actually I have been spending a lot less time laughing at Beck recently than wondering how in the world he can be countered & exposed.

seems to me like her appeal was so tied to being on fox news - it's so easy to stand out on fox news as a moderate who rebels against the network, whereas on any other channel she's gonna be just another idiot.

An amusement:
Gabriel Sherman's latest story:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/04/is-a-management-shake-up-looming-at-fox-news.html
As Fox News is roiled by lawsuits and the ouster of Bill O’Reilly, the network’s co-president Bill Shine has retained the backing of the Murdochs. On Monday, Rupert Murdoch took network co-presidents Shine and Jack Abernethy to lunch at Marea, a seafood restaurant near Fox’s midtown headquarters — a highly public show of support. But privately, Shine is expressing concern about his future at the network. According to three sources briefed on the conversations, Shine has told friends he recently asked Rupert’s sons James and Lachlan — the CEO and co-chairman, respectively, of network parent company 21st Century Fox — to release a statement in support of him, but they refused to do so. The sources said Shine made the request because of withering press coverage of Fox News in recent weeks. A source added that Shine has privately complained that Rupert “isn’t fighting for him” in the press, which is why he wanted explicit support from the sons.

A tweet in response to Sherman's tweet sharing this:
Gäbe i pray this is NOT true because if it is, that's the total end of the FNC as we know it. Done.
The identity of the tweeter and his sounding desperate is a roffle. And yes he did include the umlaut.

Why, it turns out said tweeter is on a tear:
Somebody HIGH UP AND INSIDE FNC is trying to get an innocent person fired. And Gabe I KNOW WHO it is.

A little more:
n February the investigation was reported to be focusing on settlements made with women who alleged sexual harassment by former Fox News boss Roger Ailes, and questions about whether Fox had a duty to inform shareholders about the settlement payments.The investigators have been asking "how the shareholder money was spent; who knew; and who should have known," one of the sources said.But, CNNMoney has learned, the settlement payments are not the only thing they are examining.Investigators have been probing possible misconduct by Fox News personnel and asking questions about the overall environment at the network.Investigators have also been asking questions about mysterious confidants of Ailes -- people who were known inside Fox as "friends of Roger."Ailes, through Fox News, employed a number of longtime friends as consultants, for purposes that remain unknown. One of the consultants earned $10,000 a month by submitting a monthly invoice to Fox.
