Glenn Beck "Global Warming" Show Listing 'Deleted' by BayArea Comcast?

[auzerais]

I just found something very curious (more like very suspicious) in the Comcast listings for Glenn Beck's "Anti-Global Warming" show of tonight. It looks like Comcast in the BayArea has 'deleted' the listing from their schedule, listing it as "To Be Announced". Note: this is only for today's show at 4&6pm (PDT). This also means that any listing so labeled cannot be recorded with your Comcast DVR. (there is not red button to click on to schedule to record). Also, Glenn's all important show today is the only program at CNN or HLN to be so designated and ONLY today's show is affected. Hmmmm. Anyone wanna guess just who at Comcast would want to 'delete' Glenn's listing for today? Uh, Someone in the alGore camp, maybe???? Any other Comcast customers in the BayArea experiencing the same 'deletion' from their listings?

Rush Limbaugh - talking about Free Speech and its importance.

“Of course, censorship, that's also here. I want to say something for the record here, folks, and I want it to be recorded. Today, April the 12th, the day of the cigar dinner, let it be recorded that we conservatives are the ones standing for free speech. We conservatives are the ones standing for diversity of thought and honest communication. You do not hear a conservative anywhere suggest that anybody be taken off any radio station, television station, movies or what have you. We do not urge censorship because we are not afraid of the free flow of ideas. Liberals are. Thomas Sowell said something that is so brilliant. It's a brilliant insight. Dr. Sowell said, "The liberals' favorite argument is that there is no argument. Nothing uttered in opposition to liberal beliefs exists, in their minds, at least nothing worthy of their intellectual engagement." That's why global warming, we can't argue about it! There are global warming "deniers." We gotta shut up! We cannot have alternative views of global warming. There is no alternative view. There is only the liberal view. Liberals fail on talk radio because they can't make their case!”

“They want to shut down anybody who doesn't embrace their ideology, and they want to criminalize those who don't embrace their ideology. “

“Today it's the race baiters. Tomorrow it's going to be some other cause, but liberalism is what it is, and it exists to silence people who don't agree. “

“They can't win the debate, which they admit by their own actions. They don't want debate. “

I live in north central Oklahoma and it is listed as “to be announced” on my tv also. VLWC?

[100-Fold_Return]

No getting away from the Global Warming craze as dims will be in control for the next 8-10 years....So bye/bye Nissan Titan and hello Honda Civic Hybrid. L<

The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie.

[TommyDale]

Can you not record on their DVR in manual mode, by time and channel? That is weird. Glad I kept my TiVO.

These liberals make me feel like we live in the Soviet Union.

....Which is their model of a socialist utopia.

[auzerais]

Now I will be the first to admit that perhaps, PERHAPS the Glenn Beck program was to provide a ‘special’ listing for today, and it just hasn’t been incorporated into the tv listing grid, thus leaving the ‘to be announced’ field entry. And it may well be corrected before the program airs.
But if the Left can whine that Rosie is being ‘censored’, don’t we have the same obligation to raise the issue when tv programming listings as important as Glenn’s show mysteriously ‘disappears’ on the day it’s to air?

[Bobkk47]

Why don’t you contact Comcast and ask them what’s going on, and let us know.

I’d be interested in hearing what they say.

[Dick Bachert]

Good point.

Especially when one remembers that a communist is simply a socialist who has had firearms training and has a gun.

The more gentile communists here (socialists) do their dirty work with a pen — and we go along with it lest they send large men WITH GUNS to visit.

[weegee]

Report it to Neilsen Media Research. This could affect (negatively) the ratings for this program during the key May sweeps period: April 26 - May 23, 2007

>....Which is their model of a socialist utopia.

Have either of you read P.J. O’Rourke’s old essay “Ship of Fools”? It’s about him taking a cruise up the River Don with a bunch of peaceniks and old-style Leftists in the early 1980s. They were literally _blind_ to everything that was wrong with the country.

[PEACE ENFORCER]

Have you heard Rushes M.C. Hammer song......can’t say that....?

[tgambill]

UH, I’m afraid that your statement, meaning to be Rhetorical, is actually where it’s heading as a matter of design. You are being prophetic and actually insightful as to their final objective. I agree with you 100%...ie Patriot Act for starters.

[auzerais]

I already tried to alert the Glenn Beck program to thisby email, but thought that posting it here at FR would generate a far greater awareness. And I’m fairly sure that someone on Glenn’s staff reads FR even if they cannot get to all his emails.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

This needs to be Drudged for wider publicity. Send Drudge an email.

[Disambiguator]

Especially when one remembers that a communist is simply a socialist who has had firearms training and has a gun.

I might add, "...and wants to confiscate YOUR guns."

Grrrr....

Looks like strange things are afoot at the Circle-K, so to speak. Good find.

[Blueflag]

still listed here

[jdub]

DirecTV has the same listing they always do for Glenn Beck’s show.

[good old days]

That does sound suspicious.

[seekthetruth]

I have Brighthouse cable here in Florida and Glenn’s program is listed for this evening at 7:00 and 9:00 PM on their on-line TV guide. Will be looking forward to just where the program is canceled!

[Bubba_Leroy]

To a liberal, “freedom of speech” means being free from ever having to hear a conservative speak.

[dawn53]

I just checked TVguide listings, and it’s listed on our cable listing on TVguide.com.

[w1andsodidwe]

The show is also listed on comcast.net tv listing (non-digital) No program description, however.

[MountainDad]

Might be time to get DirectTV.

[Kerretarded]

Glenn Beck Ping!

[dawn53]

There's never really a program description.

But here's what mediabistro.com said about the show:

Beck "Exposed" For A Second Time

Headline News is hoping to capture lightning in a bottle again, with a second "Exposed" special by Glenn Beck.

His first special, about "The Extremist Agenda" last November, brought Beck "his best ratings ever." He had "the #1 cable show in the demo for the night."

CNN is running another big ad campaign for "Exposed." The ad in the upper right is running on Drudge. "Climate of Fear" premieres Wednesday at 7pm.

It "aims to deflate what Beck perceives as the media hype surrounding global warming and to ask questions about the causes of a warmer planet and possible solutions,"

[JRochelle]

Rush mentioned the GW special on his show this afternoon.

I’m taking control of the remote tonight!

[auzerais]

Can you not record on their DVR in manual mode, by time and channel? That is weird. Glad I kept my TiVO.

Yes, I suppose one could, but the few times I have tried (usually on C-SPAN weekends, for which Comcast doesn't always have proper full listings) have been more unsuccessful than not.

Anyway, I emailed NewsBusters as well to see if they know anything or would be willing to investigate further. Hopefully this thread will come to Glenn's attention and his staff can get to the bottom of this and just maybe provide an explanation.

Glenn Beck Tackles Global Warming Debate for Second ‘Exposed’ Special

Headline News’ Glenn Beck, the nightly topical talk show featuring radio and TV personality Glenn Beck, presents a special that aims to deflate what Beck perceives as the media hype surrounding global warming and to ask questions about the causes of a warmer planet and possible solutions. The hour-long special report, “Exposed: Climate of Fear,” airs during Beck’s Headline Prime program on Wednesday, May 2, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. (ET).

“If you believe the mainstream media hype, you’d think that every time you drive your SUV, the Earth’s temperature rises six degrees,” Beck said. “The reality is that many respected climatologists have questions about both the problem and the solution. We should understand both positions more fully before committing to any solutions that could do more harm than good, both to our environment and our economy.”

During this special report, Glenn Beck questions the accuracy of Al Gore’s claims in the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth of 20-foot sea level rises and the disastrous effects of increased carbon dioxide levels. The program examines the criticism some esteemed scientists, climatologists and academics have faced for even raising questions about the “scientific consensus.”

The special report also offers a look at the history of what Beck sees as the media hype involving the climate, recalling the “global cooling” scare of the mid-1970s and the transition to the latest round of warnings about global warming.

Finally, Glenn Beck considers solutions and examines the Kyoto Treaty, a current guiding principle for the nations of the world to fix the problem of global warming. Beck himself offers his own ideas suggesting innovation – not government regulation – is the answer to solving this problem.

Beck’s first “Exposed” special about Islamic extremism won the night on cable news and garnered the second highest ratings in the history of Headline Prime in the critical P25-54 demographic.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

I would be calling them to cancel my cable if it were me.

[lysie]

Thanks. I’ve been waiting for this program since he announced it almost 2 months ago.

Inconvenient program scheduling?

[good old days]

Bump

[auzerais]

Ok, I just got back from doing some errands and lo and behold, Glenn Beck is back on the schedule, along with the detailed info for the program

Glenn Beck ch 57 HN 4-5pm (PDT)
"Exposed: Climate of Fear" (2007) Glenn Beck examines global warming and what he sees as the media hype about it. Included: a critical overview of the Al Gore documentary "An Inconvient Truth; a look back at the "global cooling" fear of the 1970s (Talk)

OK, So I guess we can all put down our pitchforks and firebrands and go back to our villages. Sorry to get everyone so riled up. Hopefully it was just a delay in Comcast getting the info served up to their system and not some diabolical plot by the "algoristas".

[PJ-Comix]

Heads up everybody. This Glenn Beck Climate Change special coming up at 7 PM EDT. I often find Beck to be over the top weepy emotional over relatively trivial matters. However, I will definitely be watching this.

[PJ-Comix]

Global Warming show going on the air...NOW!!!

[lysie]

Watching.

[dawn53]

This is a really good show!!! Anybody that missed it watch the second airing. Makes Algord look like the “fool” he is when it comes to global warming.

[PJ-Comix]

Algore needs to learn that rising temperature causes a rise in Carbon Dioxide, NOT the other way around.

[3D-JOY]

Cable deprived here.

Is anyone summarizing it?

[dawn53]

Summary is that Global Warming is real...it’s just not the problem it’s made out to be. They use fear to drive the discussion, try to silence scientists that don’t agree with the concensus so they can say that it’s a “given” and all scientists agree.

Algore’s movie was just an overstatement of problems and they noted he used the word “if” a lot. IF such and such, then the tides will rise this much; IF such and such, then people will die...problem is those IFs are so far fetched they’ll never happen.

Also good piece on Kyoto...it’s a disaster of a treaty, and isn’t being followed by even those that signed it (only 2 nations are adhering... Britain and Sweden.)
