Is Glenn Beck talking about ole George "5-4" Bush?
He's a little behind the times, as most conservatives are, by definition...which reminds me...do conservatives still oppose inter-racial marriage?

There is a coup; a coup of the media. A small group of stupid people (like Beck, O'Reilly, Savage) have violently evoked a change in the media industry, twisting it away from truth and veracity to lies and chicanery.

The fact that the Fox News Network is #1 is just a sad sign of this fact. Do you want to know why the newspapers are really dying? No one wants real news anymore. They just want passionate hate against "Them" and comfortable lies.
