Journalism, Whoopi. You’re doing it wrong.
But that’s okay, because so is Glenn Beck.
Anyway, the big deal this go-round is that when Glenn Beck was on The View, his stock having shot up considerably since he stopped being CNN Headline News’ puppet and instead became Fox News’ puppet, when he told a story about how Barbara Walters, Whoopi, and some of the Sixty Minutes crew had somehow managed to winkle reserved seating out of Amtrak, when such is not normally their policy. Goldberg and Walters in turn loudly denied such, and Beck tried to defend himself, but his defense was short lived at best.
I saw the video of this debacle–and man, is it ever a DEBACLE when the man setting himself up to be, in the words of Spider Jerusalem, “the hard man of American letters” can’t take on four has-beens running a daytime talk show. He probably should have known better than to take on The View on their own turf–though he should’ve got some support from known right-winger Elizabeth Hasslebeck whose silence spoke volumes throughout the interview.
But this one, Glenn, was an epic fail for you.
