More Glenn Beck Sponsors Run For Their Lives

Anyone catch the Glenn Beck part of the skit on Weekend Update last week?



It's only about a 15 second clip, but it's damn funny. You can catch the video here....

Yeah,it was great. Since Beck basically operates as a shock jock he'll be sure to give SNL a lot more fodder. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more throughout the season.

IMHO, Jason Sudeikis is frickin' brilliant. I thought that his Biden impression was great. This Beck impression looks like it might be even better.

I won't be holding my breath for an apology....

Glenn Beck and Fox News using false information to link ACORN to the Obama White House

Ever since the ACORN videos were released many at Fox News and in conservative media have tried desperately to link the Obama administration to ACORN. So far they have been unable to find the "missing link" between ACORN and the White House.

That all seemed to change when Fox News and others starting running with a story from the American Spectator. In the story it was alleged that the White House political affairs director, Patrick Gaspard, once worked for ACORN. The Obama administration denied the story. More significantly the original source for the story has since retracted his statement saying he was wrong and that Gaspard in fact never worked for ACORN.

Despite these facts Fox News and Glenn Beck continues to run with the story that ACORN and the Obama administration are closely linked.

Glenn Beck has said repeatedly on his show that he would lead with a correction if he was ever wrong. It will be interesting to see what Glenn Beck and the rest at Fox News do in the coming days. Will they continue to run with the story despite these new facts revealed? Will they simply stop referring to the story hoping it goes away? Or will Beck and others lead with a retraction of the story?
