Semantics

I blogged about The Daily Show's lovely piece last week about Glenn Beck manipulating gold prices with his fear mongering television and radio shows. So Glenn Beck isn't a "paid spokesman" for them, he just "...has a passion for gold." They claim that they endorse him by advertising on his programs and supporting his live appearances. I'm sure they are paying a completely above board rate for that privilege and there's no possibility of something more insidious there.

I wonder if someone at the SEC would have to power or foresight to look into Mr. Beck's holdings and trading in gold to see just how clean his hands really are. Of course they didn't see Bernie Madoff's implosion coming so what are the odds of that happening?

I love all these "common people" that love Beck so much because he's fighting for their rights and beliefs...so what if he lines his owns pockets at the same time.
