GOP Establishment Money Funding Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson To Attack Trump
Daily Caller ^ | 04/08/2016 | Roger Stone

Posted on 04/08/2016 12:46:22 PM PDT by SpaceBar

The next time you hear Mark Levin on the radio, or watch Glenn Beck on TV, or read Erick Erickson, RedState.com on the Internet, you might just ask yourself who is paying for the message? And why is it so stridently anti-Trump?

Don’t fool yourself. They’re doing it for the money.
...

Follow the Money

The Conservative Tree House blog exposed the financial nexus supporting prominent “conservative” pundits to promote in their media outlets Ted Cruz as the last, best hope to block Trump in Wisconsin, a state considered by the Washington-based GOP establishment as perhaps the last establishment firewall to block Trump from the GOP presidential nomination.

“These financial/media relationships have largely and historically, remained hidden,” a blogger identified simply as “sundance” noted in an article posted on TheConservativeTreeHouse.com on Wednesday. “They have sure never been publicly, clearly, and regularly stated so the consuming audience would know the presentation was fraught with financial conflict.”

“Love of money is the root of all evil.” Proven over and over again.

Mr. “Constitution” Levin? Say it ain’t so!

This could explain a lot.

This I believe.

Ailes is owned by Murdoch.

Ailes owns a lot of Limbaugh and influences a lot of the radio networks that he, Levin, and Beck connect to.

Romney PAC soft money funds a lot of RedState, TownHall and the like.

IMO, Erick is a bloated little cheeseburger disposal who name drops whenever he can and has no other redeeming qualities other than being an expert at opportuning himself for the least thing. His radio voice persona reminds me of that nerd fat kid that always got beat up - a lot!

Pedestrian discourse, sophomoric logic and reasoning that only exists to glom attention, accolades and money off a segment of listeners and readers who are fooled easily when it comes to talking faux-conservatives. In short, absolutely no value added to the equation.

Our big local AM radio station in my area changed their programming schedule last summer to Rush, followed by Beck, followed by Levin. All anti-Trump all the time.

The organization buying books scam is one of the oldest ones around. Shame on Levin for participating in it. That’s a FOUR YEAR OLD book. They cold have bought piles of them on amazon for nothing. Pennies on the dollar. Instead they paid full freight from the publisher? Pure payola. Nothing else.

I can't imagine anyone paying Beck or Erickson anything to speak ever. They need to get a job mowing lawns or mopping floors or something that fits their intelligence and skill set.

They are for sale very cheap to the globalist establishment. They can be bought and sold more easily than crack whores.

But they brag about how they are true conservatives.

There are probably FReepers who admire them.

Don't, they are just cheap whores.

Levin is an attorney and has written books. But I don't know who can stand listening to his radio show. He insults people and repeats the same things over and over again. He is incapable of being informative or engaging in intelligent conversation.

Sweet! Anyone know how I can apply for some of that sweet Establishment cash? I’ve been Never Trump since he ran for president the very first time. Of course, I’m about as influential a voice as a baked potato, but still...

I don’t know who Eriksen is, so I won’t comment. I have listened to Levin and Beck for quite some time so I will. THIS STORY IS TOTAL BS. Levin, and Beck don’t want Trump to win the Presidency, not amount of money will sway them from that, or towards another. Beck LOVES Cruz no matter if he were broke and homeless, or a billionaire with no want of another dime.

“Do-it-for-money-conservatives! We’re all supposed to devote our hearts and minds for their wallets.”

Some here would call that having Conservative “principles” I guess. Seems no different than a Dem to me.

Despite his many diatribes against Trump broadcast to his national radio audience, Levin hid the fact the son of his fiancé is a full-time staffer for Cruz.

What really made me suspicious was Levins over the top reaction to the above. Just let your listeners know about the staffer. But instead he was offering 5 thousand dollar reward to anyone who could point out the whistleblower. Who does that? There was obviously something else going on because this staffer was really no big deal. When he found out it was Sundance, he started saying that Sundance was antisemitic. That he was a nobody who managed a grocery store. Really over the top stuff.
