survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck's talk radio shows are more distrusted than trusted among three generations surveyed by Pew.
Pew surveyed millennials, Generation Xers, and baby boomers on political news sources and how each generation trusted them. The study published on June 1 found that "Four sources are distrusted more than trusted by all three: The Glenn Beck Program, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Sean Hannity Show, and BuzzFeed." From Pew Research Center:
Right-wing outlets have a history of misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric. Radio host Rush Limbaugh has increasingly faced backlash from advertisers and radio stations because of his false and inflammatory rhetoric, including calling law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" in 2012.
Fox News host and radio personality Sean Hannity regularly makes racist and sexist remarks and in April reported questionable claims about terrorists to stoke fears about immigration.
And Glenn Beck has a history of violent and inflammatory rhetoric including outlandish conspiracy theories which eventually forced him off of his Fox News show.
does that make Beck the worst one of all i mean for Fox to kick you off the network. O'Reilly lied forever exposed and he's still there lying and being exposed taking Fox credibility to even lower depths than before. but we have been seeing for awhile now the desertion of the right wing ideology. personally i never understood how being called a ditto head for following a racist was some kind of badge of honor, Hannity well his rebuked pranks and outright misinformation put a clock on him too.
now the biggee BECK told his followers that they were idiots if they believed what he says and now he has his own network. i keep hearing the title of Joan Walsh's book ringing in my ears, "What is wrong with White people". i wrote this on this blog

BECK'S ANGELS
to all of you Beck followers or as i feel totally comfortable referring to you as total idiots, because your Dear Leader told you loosely" anyone who takes what i say as gospel is an idiot" so i expect to see signs and badges saying "we're the idiots the idiots following the grifter"
first thing that came in mind for me was that line from "the usual suspects" again loosely "the greatest thing the devil ever did was convince people he didn't exist"then again there is no trick to leading someone in the direction they are headed away,
those southern racist that usurp the entire Christian faith and corrupt its intent to make there ugliness sound acceptable it is but only to like persons you are suppose to love thy neighbor, not hate defame kill and deny them their God given rights bad enough you take their constitutional rights guess that's that Good Old Party way after you help get them back see who comes and drops off a few extra bucks,or tell the hospital they are with me,or insurance they are ok. oh thats right IDIOTS! now i understand where Bush gets it from
