As one who very rarely listens to conservative talk radio, I found it amazing how unpopular Glenn Beck was toward the end of his tenure at WPHT. My assessment was that people weren't particularly paying attention, or Beck wouldn't have been classified as another right wing talking head.
In the early days of his show gaining national momentum, the nation was focused on the recent 9/11 attacks. Back then over 90% of America believed in the "single bullet theory" of the new millenium by blaming a cave dweller by the name of Bin Laden and his plastic butter-knife carrying lackey's for bringing down 3 WTC buildings (one of which wasn't even hit by a plane) however today many studies and polls show many Americans (as high as 50%) doubting the official story.
By September 12, 2001, Y2K was a thing of the past, and Glenn Beck arrived on the radio scene as another talking head advocating war with "radical Islam." But something drastic has happened to his political positions over the years, and lately he has become sort of a "controlled revolutionary."
I noticed this change in his political positions the last few times I tuned in to his show on WPHT, and to me he sounded nothing like his counterparts Limbaugh and Hannity. I know some people don't like him because of dramatics, (I get that) and he has been accused of becoming conspiratorial (I get that too).
But these days, he's talking about "The Creature from Jekyll Island," the infamous novel which exposes the crimes of the federal reserve. Most hosts (much like politicians) whether they are liberal or conservative do not talk about these sorts of topics as the result is usually career suicide. There are numerous policies of the U.S. Gov't that dare not be questioned by public figureheads for fear of being ousted by the so-called "mainstream." Ask Helen Thomas.
I laugh when I hear Rush Types complain about political correctness, for they too are politically correct or they wouldn't be able to maintain their positions of power.
Don't misunderstand. I don't hang onto Beck's words like right wingers hang on to Limbaugh's. But my question is this. Why the hatred for Beck in Philadelphia? And is this the end of his career now that he's talking about these issues? Most people I talk to are fed up with the actions of this government and the wars (not officially) declared on sovereign nations. Even more so, it seems people are fed up with our governments economic crimes and cover-ups. I think it's refreshing to hear a national host finally talk about these issues in an honest and candid forum.
