Yup, that's a quote from Beck freaking out during a bad week.
As KingOneEye reported: WOW! Rachel Maddow Beats Glenn Beck In Key Ratings Demo.
Glenn Beck's star has been fading for most of the last year. He has lost about half of his television audience. His radio ratings have also been declining leading to stations dropping his program in big markets like New York, Philadelphia, and Madison. His most recent book, "Broke," was the first in eight years to fail to hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Over 300 advertisers regard him as toxic and will not permit their ads to air during his program.
Then, yesterday Beck takes another well-deserved loss in ratings:
The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC drew 39,000 more viewers in the key advertising demographic of 25-54 year olds. Beck did manage to draw more total viewers, but even that statistic is revealing. It shows that Beck's audience is comprised of only 21% of the young demo. That compares to Maddow's 31%.
Today, Beck can't stand that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cited Al-Jazeera for its good news coverage while criticizing US media!
Clinton stated in testimony before a Senate Committee today that American networks were lagging behind news competition:
"Like it or hate it, it is really effective," Clinton said. "In fact, viewership of Al-Jazeera is going up in the United States because it is real news."
"You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news that is not providing information to us, let alone foreigners."
While US television focused on Charlie Sheen, Al-Jazeera has been covering events in Egypt with a spike in online viewership that was almost half from the US trying to find coverage.
A decade ago, the U.S. government attacked Al-Jazeera as a "propagator of anti-American propaganda."
However, many networks don't offer Al-Jazerra on television, but that might change:
Al-Jazeera has taken advantage of the moment, asking visitors to its website to click a tab that automatically generates a letter to the users' local cable system encouraging them to add the network. More than 40,000 e-mails have been generated, spokeswoman Molly Conroy said.
CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC declined to comment on Clinton's assessment, but former CNN bureau chief Frank Sesno stated she's right!
"Cable news has become cable noise. It was intended to be an opportunity to inform people, and instead it has become an opportunity to inflame people."
With the world protesting, fighting and dying for freedom, and Americans protesting the GOP's anti-union policies at home, how sweet it would be if Hillary's words could start another campaign for actual news coverage rather than status quo of corporate media as the GOP and teabagger's press secretary focused on trivial or disinformation.
