Ok so I'm sure by now you know where I stand when it comes to things effecting this country.
I'm very pro defense, and pro less government.
So it was very interesting to hear Eric Massa's rant about how the Democratic party was trying to get him thrown out of office because he didn't vote with the health care bill. (As left as he leans it was kinda a shocker) Then I was even more shocked to learn the congressman would be going on Glenn;s show to give his side of the story.
It was interesting for several reasons. 1) The Glenn Beck program isn't really a show for people to do interviews, and for Beck to listen to another side. 2)The program is really just a soap box really for whatever his talking points may be, whether its airing out information on Van Jones, or explaining how the progressive movement works.
He started the show off by saying pretty much those things. The show wasn't meant for interviews. He also stated that he was skeptical of doing the interview because he didn't really know what Massa was going to talk about and (in my opinion) he just didn't care.
So the interview was off. And after Massa started talking it became very obvious that Glenn Beck was clearly annoyed. From the audience perspective I know I wasnt to interested in what the congressman was saying. In fact, I felt his being on the show was just making a mockery of the whole situation he had gotten himself into with his aides.
After the hour eneded, Glenn Beck apologized to his audience for wasting thier time.
....And I must say that was the actually only interesting part. I say that because with all the programs I've watched and listend this was the first program where the host felt he had wastedthe audience's time and I don't know how many times I thought the segment was stupid and pointless. (O'Reilly and his culture warriors for starters.)
