Fox Fascist Glenn Beck Attacks Net Neutrality. Echoes Corporate Astroturf Talking Points



















Glenn Beck's war on the FCC (and Satan worshippers)

It's not often that you hear about the inner workings of the FCC on cable news, especially coming from one of TV's most popular talkers. But Beck has mounted a one-man war on the FCC for the last 18 months, and he is determined to keep the "Marxists" from silencing him.
The Marxists are coming for me

Back in April, Beck railed against net neutrality, saying that "it's about eliminating traditional, constitutional points of view from the public arena. But that's not the way it's being billed. It is about stopping debate. But nobody will tell you that. It's about ending free speech. It is about Marxism."

Julius Genachowski, a former tech executive who worked with startups and media mogul Barry Diller, is pushing unfettered Marxism? The idea is risible, but Beck seems to believe that the FCC has been infiltrated by radical groups who will help to implement Obama's secret censorship agenda. Chief among these groups is Free Press, the nonprofit that pushed the FCC to censure Comcast for its P2P blocking. (Genachowski's press secretary previously worked for the group.)
Beck's name calling is complete projection of his and his supporter's own thoughts. Like fascist before him he has created a bogeyman existential enemy - and THAT enemy is the threat. Hitler used Jews, socialists, intellectuals and liberals as his enemy. Which is eerily similar to Beck. Beck does not support the military, he supports militarism just like European fascists of the 1940s. Beck never provides evidence - which would be required of a high school research paper - he ties things together in a convenient conspiratorial manner relying on a pile of bullsh*t. If the Beckster's talking points on net neutrality sound familiar it is because they come right off the Wall Street fax machine - Telecoms’ Secret Plan To Attack Net Neutrality: Target Video Gamers And Stoke Fear Of Chinese Censorship

Net neutrality, a guiding principle for preserving a free and fair Internet, means that Internet service providers are not allowed to discriminate based on content for its customers.
Bill O'Reilly is still a pervert and since he makes millions being one there is little chance he'll stop anytime soon - Is Bill O’Reilly Obsessed With Miley Cyrus?

Aging conservative Catholic, “traditionalist” Bill O’Reilly does seem to have a penchant for voyeurism - as seen by the “prurient” content of much of Bill’s show which focuses on sexual behavior and imagery – complete with the videos of scantily clad women. Bill, of course, does some of these “reports” in the “context” of his need to expose this naughty behavior....
The only thing Bill regularly "exposes" is his perverse obsessions. Those are what passes for values among modern conservatives.
