There is a responsibility to being a television personality. Glenn Beck and others of his ilk are continuous examples of irresponsibility. It seems as though they do not care that millions of people are listening, watching, and more importantly BELIEVING his venom. Believing his venom to the point that they would consider murder. Byron Williams is not alone, there are others out there just like him. Nestle and other companies have been pulling advertising from Mr. Beck’s show, his ratings are trending downward. Mr. Beck has even gone so far as to call his boss Rupert Murdoch “….an enemy of the free market system.” That statement can be considered insubordination and would have gotten anyone else either suspended or terminated. I’m waiting for the day that Mr. Murdoch realizes his pockets are getting light on his Fox News holdings during the time Mr. Beck’s show airs and cancel his show and contract. John Hamilton needs to be commended for eloquently and convincingly laying out the case against Mr. Beck and others who utilize their media pulpits to foster, “American terrorists.”
