At one time yes, but for many years he has done very little show prep or research.
Here's the LINK for a GOOGLE search on "international crisis group" "glenn beck" that shows not only did Beck cover this in Feb & Mar, but he was targeted by Media Matters for doing so.
Well, he's probably on his way from semi-retirement to sailing away somewhere with his dog Teddy.
That cracks me up. Savage has totally alienated all the other radio talkshow hosts by being vile and offensive with his name calling and insults of them. He’s singled out Beck for extra bullying, such as calling him the ignorant, uneducated Professor with a chalkboard and no college degree, while Savage credits himself for knowing what no one else in the industry knows because he has, by God, two college degrees and a Ph.D. in nutrition (yeah, that’s relevant!). Yet, I’ve never heard Savage scoop any news, and he’s usually weeks, if not months, behind Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck.
This is a perfect example, and Savage will take loud credit for being the only one to know this or talk about it. LOL. Then he excoriates the rest of them for not coming to his defense when he was banned in Britain, and he just can’t understand why they won’t help him. If he had such a “big brain” he wouldn’t have to ask why. It’s obvious to any child why.
