Herman Cain is a substitute for Neal Boortz, but, that does not make him exempt from being accurate.
Mr. Cain is the man with the statistics.
Today was no different.
Everyone at the Murdoch organization bashes something about Democrats or President Obama. Mr. Cain like to bash the stimulus.
He states this in leading up to his bashing:
(paraphrasing, but, I'll try to remember the words as best I can)
"Glen Beck has statistics, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GOT THEM, but they are Beck statistics that say..."
Believe it or not, if a journalist (that is if they really consider themselves journalists and not fiction talkers) wants me to pay attention to what follows they need to be FACTUAL.
BUT.
The folks that listen to these programs don't care about accuracy or verifiable truths. They care about lies and hearing plenty of them.
So, Mr. Cain is absolutely right. There is absolutely no reason to seek to reassure his listeners that the facts he states are truthful and honest and well established, but, only 'truthy enough' to give them something to believe to continue to carry out their lies.
THIS IS NOT LEGAL USE OF THE AIRWAVES.
This is misleading the public into believing they are actually listening to a 'worthy' radio program that carries accurate facts about the news.
My understanding of ANY reporting by a journalist is that there are at least TWO sources of validation before it is reported to the public.
TWO.
Not, I don't really know where Beck got this from.
You know?
The American Public is actually 'leasing' our airwaves to these people?
Oh.
