Bek Younuhvercity


This week also marked the launch of Beck's latest attempt to grab money from "educate" his audience: Beck University.

As Beck described it, the online Beck University is an "academic program" that would be a "unique experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history, and economics." At the outset of the first "course" -- Faith 101, with frequent Beck guest/promoter of historical misinformation David Barton -- Beck announced that viewers "will learn more in the next hour than you've probably learned in your entire life about American history."

Laughable hyperbole aside, as we pointed out this week, Glenn Beck is uniquely unqualified to found a university, considering he regularly traffics in bizarre conspiracy theories, distortions, and downright falsehoods on a wide variety of subjects.

The day after the first "course" at Beck University, Beck stood in front of his blackboard and labeled various historical figures "heros" or "villians."

And lastly, by my count, between his TV show last night and his radio program today, Beck launched no fewer than four baseless charges that, by his standards, should get him fired.

"viewers will learn more in the next hour than you've probably learned in your entire life about American history."


Sure, because it is made up bullshit pulled straight out of his ass and then crammed into his loyal viewers' already crap-filled craniums.
