Media Matters has unveiled its choice for 2009's Misinformer of the Year, and it's Fox News' Glenn Beck. Here's how the watchdog group described how easy their choice was:
When he wasn't calling the president a racist, portraying progressive leaders as vampires who can only be stopped by "driv[ing] a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers," or pushing the legitimacy of seceding from the country, Beck obsessively compared Democrats in Washington to Nazis and fascists and "the early days of Adolf Hitler." He wondered, "Is this where we're headed," while showing images of Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin; decoded the secret language of Marxists; and compared the government to "heroin pushers" who were "using smiley-faced fascism to grow the nanny state."A couple of Glenn Beck's more ludicrous acts from 2009 include using Vicks to cry crocodile tears and saying Barack Obama has a "deep-seated" hatred of whites.
Media Matters has a montage of Beckisms:
