Media Matters: Beck tells audience to ruin Thanksgiving dinner with misinformation about inflation
Media Matters: Beck tells audience to ruin Thanksgiving dinner with misinformation about inflation

While advising his Fox News viewers to talk about inflation at their Thanksgiving dinners, Glenn Beck falsely claimed that the government removed food and energy prices from its measure of inflation to hide rising prices, that a survey showed economists are "worried" about inflation, and that Social Security recipients are not receiving a cost-of-living adjustment because the government "changed the calculation."

<...>

Seriously, WTF is wrong with that guy?

1. The only inflation that my family will be talking about is in our waistlines
as we stuff ourselves.

There's not a single member of my family (except for my stupid assed LOLbertarian uncle, and we don't invite him) who's not a flaming liberal.

2. Sorry Beck, but we fight over drones at our house.
... as we are fairly convinced the President is doing an adequate job on the economy.

The best exposing republican lies in the media and smears & distortions anywhere! - It's why Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck and republicans hate Media Matters....Media Matters ALWAYS has the facts bout the slimy republicans before they expose them and it's the reason why the republicans despise & trash Media matters so often.

Support Media Matter!
