To CBS only conservatives are controversial. You libs live in such a distorted bubble that doesn't resemble the real world at all. You sicken most of us Americans.

Question: How come the GOP always blame the Media (main stream)for eveything. Rush, Glenn and Shawn are the top Radio Talk personalities on the air today with more listeners then any other shows, they are the main stream media.There not the underdogs anymore, they control Talk Radio. I agree that the media leans one way or another, but with the Internet and PDA's all views are shown and talk about and talk about till it dies. Everyone Lies the Dems and the GOP and yes even your President Lies past and future. What we need is new ideas for the future and stop looking at the past. It is real easy not to come up with new ideas and mock those who do.

Glenn Beck is an eliminationist. As to Couric being "hostile and smug" I did not see that at all. She was subdued and polite and was too easy on Beck. He was well prepared for this interview and gave a false goody two-shoes persona. She should have asked him about his being a climate change denier. I have listened to him rant and he is quite scary when he is in that mode.

Unfortuately, this person is confused. How can one embrace Family which
he stated is very sacred and also say that we all belong to God even though we make mistakes and that there is a path back to God? (Meaning forgiveness and repentance), Yet approves of Gay rights and Gay Marriage out of the same breath.

This God you embrace is not the God who created Heaven and earth. Because the God who is creator of Heaven and earth condems same sex unions and it is an ambomination in His sight. Mormonism will not teach
you the truth.

I encourage that you do some deep soul searching to find out truth and
truly who you are and what you truly stand for once you discover the
real you.

At least Glenn is honest. He states he is not a journalist and an opionion guy. If anyone disputes the facts he reveals on the show they can do so. Katie on the other hand considers herself a journalist and yet she is so obviously biased against the conservatives because they do not agree with her. She keeps bringing the discussion back to tea parties and racism. She clearly finds the tea party activists threatening and wants to turn them into simple racists. Glenn should have just hit her with this head on instead of avoiding her constant questions about white culture. White culture, black culture hispanic culture? Why do these liberal journalist go to political correctness when it's convenient. Her ratings say it all. She's washed up and I don't give her too many years. Liberals are freaking out right now. This administration is a disaster. Even Clinton new he had to move to the center. Even on health care, if they truly cared about HELPING the poor, they would do so and not try to take over the entire system which in the end will kill the bill. Make small changes with bi-partisan support. No, they don't even include tort reform and they are so interested in helping other. It's all government control and they will fail because of there lust for everlasting power. They don't want to help, they want to spend tax-payer money and control everything.

It was a very good interview with a guy who stir Americans emotions in many ways, of course Katie was in control of the situation, we had a chance to witness a Sarah Palin, Bush doctrine question, when Glenn was asked about what he meant by a white culture. But, over all, the interview was a chance at least to me, and an opportunity to know more about Glenn beck, a vulnerable human being, whose ears turn red, when asked a challenging question.

Much like how loan sharks have been legitimized becasue they are banks now, it is the same with the KKK. Now the KKK is now legitimized in mainstream media, particularly talk radio and Fox News with the likes of Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reily and Hannity. For those who aren't familiar with the KKK it is the Klu Klux Klan who are America's homegrown terrorist. It alway baffles the mind when these weak examples of men gets a smack on the wrist when a black person gets 30 seconds of media attention is is demonized in process. 30 seconds. Beck is able to all the time he needs to say things that don't bring about healthy dialogue and white people write in in support of his nonsense as though, as one of the writers wrote, Couric was hard on him. Give yourselves a break. If it barks like a dog then it must be a dog. Sounds like the KKK in 2009.

Okay, I do not watch Katie on CBS News but I sometime did when she was on the NBC Today Show. Now I understand why her newscast is consistently last in the ratings. She almost makes my skin crawl as much as Pelosi or Russ Limbaugh: over the top. She is not a news person, she lets her political views scream. Glenn Beck is an entertainer with a political spin and does not try to parade around as a journalist. Katie tried to not make this piece about her, but she failed. Actually, she is inadvertently a great promoter of the Republican agenda.

Glenn Beck sounds like Michael Scott (The Office) waxing philosophical. There is no logical, cohesive thought. He just strings buzz words together that get mindless conservatives all roiled up and ready to fight for corporate interests all in the guise of "bringing down big government." People need to wake up. People like Rupert Murdoch, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh do not have your best interest in mind. They are all corporate pawns working to keep the middle class subjugated and make themselves and their CEO bosses richer. Mention the possibility of taxing the rich, the FOX "News" machine roars "socialism", roiling up the middle class who go to town halls and compare the President to Hitler. Meanwhile, the middle class are being laid off, having their wages slashed, and/or benefits cut by these wealthy people (who continue to get their muli-million $$$ bonuses and golden parachutes) they're so vehemently defending. It's so very frustrating to live in a world where so many people around you just are unable to see the big picture. And the ones who do are just exasperated because after all is said and done, we are a country of people who do not like to think about things. We like when people who cry and yell tell us what to think. And that is exactly the culture the corporations have been cultivating. We're not living in an Orwellian age. It's more Judge-ian than anything else. We are well on our way to Idiocracy.
