Nobody's Opinion

Andrew Breitbart Destroys Glenn Beck

Nobody’s Notes

I found this bit of radio gold, while I was over at the Alex Jones Site. It has some very severe criticism of Glenn Beck by the late Andrew Breitbart….his main complaint being that Glenn Beck stole from Alex Jones and Andrew every single day and never gave them credit

Nobody Thinks, that is true, as I use to watch his show, but it was not all stolen. He gave valuable history lessons that were not stolen and the country needed that.

Nobody also thinks that in Glenn’s mind…information was all free…on the internet, and he could pick and choose as he liked, much as the rest of us do. In this way, we see it’s rather more an internet problem. Remember all the trouble the music industry had with Napster? Songs were free, untill Steve Jobs figured out how to charge people for songs on the internet. All creative endeavors USED to get paid for their hard work, but now with the internet, much of it is free or next to nothing. The internet has single-handedly destroyed the newspaper industry…not many are left.

Still…not giving credit is sort of “rude.” He certainly should have, but he didn’t want to, for his own obvious reasons: success and money. Most people know Glenn is all about making money for himself, and Glenn does not deny it.  If you don’t want to listen to him plug his latest book, or his newest concert, or his new DVD…turn him off, that’s what I do.  Go listen to Rush, who sometimes promotes his latest ice tea products, and talks about football and his golf games, Alex Jones sometimes starts yelling, and Michael Savage gets really funny about his dog.

What are you going to do? Listen to Don Imus?

Still…this is the first real knock-out I’ve ever heard against Glenn Beck, it’s worth a listen. I still can’t believe he’s gone. (And by that I mean..Breitbart)

  1. Much of what is available on the internet is ‘opinion’ or what passes for opinion these days. One may agree with it and use it for oneself, but attribution is, as you say, good manners. At the end of the day, of course, they are ‘Ideas’. Most ‘opinion’ is prejudice dressed up.

    Then there are Facts. Most fact is suppressed. What little gets through is squashed and battered and sometimes bears little resmblance to reality. Domestic Violence statistics are a prime example.

    But, back to opinion. I recall someone (Frank Devine?) retelling a tale from when he was a schoolboy. Another boy was ‘back-chatting’ the Head master and said to the effect “I am entitled to express my opinion”. Many today take that as #Rule 1 in life.

    “Yes you are” said the wiser and much older man. “But you are NOT entitled to FORM that opinion in any way you want. You must read, listen and comprehend all the facts pertaining to the issue. You must look carefully at all of the relevant arguements, literature, decisions and consequences that others before you have made or discovered. You must gain the relevant experience pertaining to the main features. Then you must make your own critical analysis of these and make judgements with care. Only then will you have done the work to have an opinion. Otherwise, all you have is a prejudice.”

    • I agree amfortas…it’s very hard to find the facts…you always have to consider the source,and it depends on whose writing those “facts.” It much like watching the waves bob up and down on the ocean on a Moonlight night.   Frank Devine was worthy of his good name!
