Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-sky-is-falling dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Glenn Beck has told his viewers to do research, but to not use Google, because 'Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government.' He points to the fact that Google is having some problems overseas, as well as Jared Cohen. Cohen is Director of Google Ideas, has worked with the State Department, and has played a role in the 2009 unrest in Iran. He also mentions social networking in sinister undertones, asking if it's government propaganda."

    anyone who actually believes anything Beck says can't do a google search anyway, since the drool keeps shorting out the keyboard.

    I'm glad that no centrists or left-leaning individuals ever make sweeping generalities about people that have views which differ from their own.

    Christians worship a trinity. They're not monotheistic, they're self-delusional.

    That's just the libertarians, who aren't so far away from Beck's demographic.

    He is saying that Mormons are polytheistic because they believe each Planet in the universe has it's own God and that there is nothing particularly special about the God that runs things here on Earth.

    Weird--I'd never heard that. I should open up Google and do some resear...oh--right. Damn.
