Who is Glen Beck?

He’s an American Broadcaster, based in New York who hosts two daily programmes, one on radio, the other on the Fox News Channel.

His views certainly conform with Fox’s often “fair and balanced” extreme Republican politics and have certainly made him one of the top Presenters in America.

Although I don’t agree with many of his opinions or presentations he makes people think and question a lot of stuff they wouldn’t normally hear about while demonstrating everything on a blackboard before their eyes.

TV Channels in the UK “shelter us” from subjects we don’t know about and need to know about.

Why am I taking the trouble to write this?

Although I filter the news I watch on TV, in other words listen to what people are saying then decide what they really mean, some people don’t.

When they listen to someone who comes across as a genuine person they may sometimes take everything they hear as gospel.

Then what do they do? They go into work the next morning and debate it with their colleagues some of whom have different opinions.

This triggers the democratic process.

Fortunately (not for you), you’re unaccustomed to being trusted to make your own mind up when you watch UK Television Channels because there isn’t anyone, anywhere, in news, current affairs, politics, in fact any discussion programme that’s too controversial.

You see, UK citizens unwittingly enjoy a permanency of smart and invisible TV censorship because no existing TV Company will hire anyone likely to upset too many viewers.

Successive Governments encourage and condone this because they don’t want a country full of citizens openly discussing controversial matters.

Look what happened when millions of UK citizens said NO to war in 2003, they poured onto the streets and embarrassed Mr Blair – Bless!

Okay a few Presenters may accidentally swear and lots of comedians deliberately let loose, but then most of their material is so tame that they need swear words to liven it up and get laughs.

What a sad country we live in!

Do you remember when the BNP guy appeared on Question Time?

What a fuss about nothing. If he’d been invited onto the panel years sooner, the BNP wouldn’t enjoy the support of almost 3 million of our citizens today. What a dip stick he proved himself to be.

Can you think of anyone on TV who makes you splutter with rage when they vigorously defend opinions you oppose or alternatively challenge those politicians you dislike so much?

Mr Paxton is probably your immediate choice but compared to Glen Beck, he’s just a cuddly bear!

Can you imagine the fun you could have had over the last 12 months watching Banksters, Speculators, British Gas, Bank Regulators, thieving MP’s and Party Leaders being robustly interviewed by a Rogue Presenter?

But then you’d have found out too much too quickly and had too many questions that Government didn’t at that time have answers to.

What questions do you want answering?

What do you really want to know about?
