Glenn Beck Blasts Matt Drudge for Bias Against Hillary: ‘How Can We Complain to Facebook About Bias
Breitbart ^ | 05/24/16 | Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 05/24/2016 8:11:45 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Glenn Beck once again blasted critics of his full-throated defense of Facebook – this time by calling out Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report for being biased against Hillary Clinton.

Beck has been attacking Facebook’s conservative critics ever since the damage control meeting he and 16 other conservatives had with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week following reports from several Facebook whistleblowers that the site’s news curators actively suppress conservative stories in their “trending” news section while simultaneously boosting the signal of leftwing causes like Black Lives Matter.

Beck, who has become Zuckerberg’s staunchest defender on the right, took to his Facebook page today to call out Matt Drudge for alleged bias against the Democratic frontrunner.

Of course, lost in Beck’s moral equivalence is the fact that the Drudge Report is owned and operated by a private American citizen, Matt Drudge. Facebook, on the other hand, is a multinational publicly traded corporation.

Drudge, who rose to prominence in the 1990s due to his willingness to post stories about the Clinton scandals that mainstream news organizations deliberately spiked, has never hidden his political leanings, consistently describing himself over the years as a conservative and a populist.

I never understood how people criticize Drudge for “bias”.

He’s an aggregator and posts news articles. The main overreaching theme of which seems to be stories the Washington Cartel doesn’t wish to put on the alphabet networks.

The fact that headlines appear slanted, well, that should tell you the bias that exists.

Beck is full on insane anymore and a Zuckservative. See what I did there?

From what was reported, Beck was clearly trying to schmooze Zuckerberg.

Poor Glenn Beck put all his eggs in one basket and all the eggs got broken...now he has nothing to do but complain about this or that...

He really needs mental attention before he really does become ‘Stabby the Clown’...

Is Glenn gonna get on his knees and beg for Hillary like he did for Cruz?

How does this guy have any audience left anymore? He’s switching to liberals obviously for his main focus group.

Try rolling your face in more Cheetos, Glenn.

Is Beck out of money?
I thought he’d done well at some point.
Right now he seems to be looking for someone to sell out to.

Doesn’t Glenn have a “world changing exclusive, that will rock the foundations of the Republic, and send shivers down our spines” story, from 5 years ago, to get out?

He wants to be hit the lottery and become Zuckerberg’s wingman.

Zuckerberg probably has well off friends who joined his inner circle from nowhere. This is a just a punt by Beck.

I’m afraid for him. I don’t know if he can stand up to the rigors of life and the challenges he faces much longer.

Sounds like Zuckerberg sent some money Beck’s way, to get him on board.

Beck must have smoke coming out his ears, because the guy is short circuiting across the board.

Someone help Beck get his head out of his nether regions before he suffocates.
