Adam Carolla Talks Glenn Beck in Rant Against Bias Media: It Slants ‘Toward the Left’

Adam Carolla’s recent rant about Occupy Wall Street — and how the protesters are “fu**ing self-entitled monsters” — grabbed national headlines earlier this month. We featured it on The Blaze, and it quickly became one of our most popular stories ever. Well now he’s back with another rant, this one against the left-leaning media. And it includes plenty of references to Glenn Beck.
(Related: Listen to the original rant)
See, after we posted the story on The Blaze, Beck featured it on his radio show, calling it one of the best (albeit vulgar) diatribes he’s ever heard. He even confessed his new-found admiration for Carolla and wrote about it on the chalkboard that sits behind his radio seat. That grabbed the attention of the media, who apparently started asking Carolla if he sees Beck’s support as a liability.
The short answer, which was delivered on his podcast on Dec. 6: no. That in turn led to him turning the tables: “No media member’s ever asked me about being too left wing when I talk about pot, abortion and gay marriage, or something like that.”
And instead of summing up what he said, we’ll just let Carolla tell you (we’ve changed the transcript slightly for accuracy):
I was doing an interview today with this chick from like Sacramento, and she was like, “aren’t you worried about the stigma of Glenn Beck?” And get this a lot, “aren’t you worried about being associated with the right?”
And I said, “how come when Alec Baldwin announces we’re good buddies, and he comes on the show, nobody interviews me and goes, ‘aren’t you worried about being connected to the left?’ That doesn’t exist. And she’s like, “ahhh, well.”
And I said, “The reason you’re asking that is because the media is slanted toward the left, and all of you think that way, you can’t help but the way you think.”
See, if I go, “Hey me and Alec Baldwin are good buddies, and he calls in and we hang out,” you thick, “cool.” And if somebody says, “Hey Glenn Beck was calling you a genius the other day,” you go, “oooh, aren’t you worried?”
[...]
She had no answer to that.
It’s weird. It just kind of– I know we get in this argument, “which way is the media slanted?” I’ll tell this: I don’t know which way the media is slanted. But I will tell you, I’ve been asked, am I worried about being connected with right wing whoever or being too right wing a thousand times. No media member’s ever asked me about being too left wing when I talk about pot, abortion and gay marriage, or something like that.
That’s a little clue into the universe that they’re living in. While each year I pay the equivalent to 48 school teachers in taxes. Like what 48 individually school teachers, individually, would pay, I pay as one person. We get the exact same benefits. And you’re saying to me you want me to pay the equivalent of 51 school teachers. I think I can make a pretty good argument as to why I should pay for only 45 worth of school teachers in taxes in one tax year.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 4:05pmBut at the same time, Corolla gives the argument against his case.
Could we not say the, in general, more paved roads/better maintained roads is a net benefit to an individual? So, as he’s trying to show he gets no new benefits, he shows how he does get benefits in the particular example of this metaphorical road.
In addition, he seems to say that he doesn’t actually have a problem getting taxed more – just that he has a problem with the efficiency of the government. He says he’d give “all that [he] has” if he thought it was going somewhere useful. Unless you are trying to make the argument that any form of government is inherently inefficient – which does not sound like what is being said.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:03pm“The media is slanted to the left?” Think about that for a second. There is a continuum from the far left to the far right. If you are on the far right, of course all the media seem slanted to the left. To people on the far left, the media seems slanted to the right.
The idea that the “media is slanted” says more about a given individual than the media. And if you think FOX is “fair and balanced” and unbiased, brother are you are the far right.

This would leave the left being completely good and wholesome but they are anything but. How do the masses even reconcile these two huge gaps in reality…? They don’t because there is never anyone on the right to explain logic, reason, common sense to these people.

And he is dead on about taxes, DEAD on! Why should anyone have to pay the taxes of 48 school teachers just because they make more money? Why? They don’t use any more services, so why should the 1% pay 45% of the taxes, or whatever the heck it is.
The 1% would be occupying the White House, but they actually have to work for a living and build their businesses, and oh yea, pay taxes for city workers to clean up the mess you OWS slobs left in city parks around the country. Thanks, douche bags.

I could go on and on, but I sure hope you get the picture.

They hide the truth, but they made an assumption that their interviewer was a Liberal because he was Jewish and they told the truth – they exposed themselves as intolerant, bigoted hypocrites. Listen to the Liberal media and they’re OBVIOUSLY the same. They constantly spew hate towards the right – like JZS and the other trolls. They almost never have a true Conservative on their shows for honest debate. They usually have a Liberal Republicans and say they’re the Right wing. Fox News debates Left-wing loons on almost every show – usually more than one. I’m forever muting Alan Colmes, Lamont Hill, Bob Beckel and other Liberals that constantly rattle off their same talking points on Fox.
Global warming is a hoax. Obama is a liar. Raising taxes only increases spending because they have no respect for the money they’ve stolen through over-taxation. They want to take guns from honest citizens thereby leaving especially women helpless. They over-regulate so small businesses have no chance to succeed. Liberals do everything wrong.

Actually, this is were I say we just disagree. That would involve to much research for me to back up my opinion that the major news org went out of their way to paint GWB negatively for 8 years while they have gone out of their way to shield Obama from criticism. As it would take to much time and research for you to back up your opinion that for 8 years media orgs did everything in their power to report positively about GWB and shield him from critisism while they have gone out of their way to paint Mr. Obama in a negative light. Point taken…it would just end in “yes they did, no they didn’t”

Glad I could give you a laugh. I actually got to meet Beck last weekend at a book signing. I came up with the business idea standing in line. There were a few thousand people there to see him. The ones waiting next to me wouldn’t stop talking about how much they would love to have access to pushing the g-parents of the poor over a cliff, polluting their drinking water to cause life threatening illness, and making the air un-breathable. The idea was born. I hadn’t though about making autistic children and the sick poor fend for themselves until I talked to my neighbor, a lifelong democrat, who converted to conservatism that day. That‘s is when he told me all of a sudden he couldn’t stop thinking about doing harm to autistic kids and those in the poor class who were sick. Now I’m currently trying to squeeze that into my business plan. I think if it gets off the ground we would make a great business team, seeing that we both hate the poor so much.

He went after Rep. Ron Paul for not wanting to send financial aid to Israel but on the other hand he wants to stop sending aid to other countries, why the inconsistency? Beck would be quick to point out that singling out Jewish people or Christians is a bad thing but I never hear him stick up for gay people or pot smokers that deal with a stigma every day. Equal treatment from justice should apply to everyone no matter their culture or belief system. You don’t have to be religious to be a good person and not all atheists are participating in a war on Christianity.

He has money and success, but he does not allow that to define him. It is much like Glenn and what he has done. Making him a part of the GBTV family would not only make Glenn a truck load of money, but it would be great for the image of the network, “The Truth Lives Here”. I look at social issues as personal choices…right and wrong can be debated but in the end does not define you. Economic issues define everyone and thus need to be decided upon together. The best part about Economic decisions is that they are made using mathematics…..the one absolute truth of the universe. So when the left tries to tells us that we are wrong even though their formula of 2+2 adds up to 16, we can call BS knowing that 4 is the right answer. If truth is the answer, which I believe it is, let’s gather all those “truthers” together and put them on GBTV. Language is language….if it bothers you don’t listen. Don’t act like liberals and try to make that decision for everyone….you don’t have that right. Glenn…get Adam Carolla on your network.

he’s wrong about one thing. he gets fewer benefits than the 48 teachers. much fewer.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:25pmHLJ435, I took him to mean that for all the taxes he is paying that he is not getting any service from it. When you surrender half of all that you make it tends to make some angry to hear that they are not giving enough, or that the various levels of government is just not taking enough.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 8:30amYes! Half of our property taxes, and I have no children, go to fund the school board of my county. Then I hear children crying about uniforms and how it limits their right to express themselves in the school I pay for to educate them. And the education system blows.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:20pmGhost of Jefferson- *Libertarians currently in Senate= 0, *Libertarians currently in Congress= 0 (Ron Paul only once ran under the Libertarian banner in 1988 and lost….wonder why he hasn’t ran as a Libertarian lately?), *Current Libertarian Governors= 0. Que the crickets…Buahahahaha! ….I know…..I know…..it’s a conspiracy. But you do scare us….no really, you do.
(* – Not just “libertarian views”, but actually ran on the libertarian platform and won)
BTW, I don’t remember Adam Carolla ever saying he was a Libertarian (he actually has some very liberal ideas, but it seems, anytime anyone famous happens to speak a few conservative/libertarian ideas, both groups seem to fall over themselves to claim them as their own and make “Carolla for President” buttons); but feel free to claim him.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 5:55pmAmtsoudsmith – Adam states in the quote above he tends to be liberal on social issues drugs, abortion, gay marriage. Yet conservative on economic issues such as taxes and spending. Are these not libertarian ideals? Yes he isn’t a privatize roads and all police ect libertarian but I would say he believes in more libertarian ideas than strictly liberal/conservative.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 8:30pmLogank, yeah I get that Adam Carolla is a smorgasbord of socially liberal/ fiscally conservative ideas (AKA Libertarianism). So why not just call yourself a Libertarian? Is he afraid of the word or does he not know there is such a group? To be completely honest, I really don’t care. I agree with a lot of the Libertarian ideas on the fed and out of control, bloated government, although I wouldn’t call myself a Libertarian; I just mostly wanted to have some fun with the GhostofJefferson. I just happened to see his comment and thought I’d make a point that Libertarianism is sadly far from mainstream; check back in a bit and see his reply. GhostofJefferson’s comment made it sound like Libertarians could put liberals in their place through superior argument (which is possibly true); the problem is that Libertarians don‘t seem to win votes and therefore are not represented except through Ron Paul and a few others that tout libertarian ideas but won’t call themselves Libertarians. To put it another way: If a Libertarian argues in the forest and there is no one there to hear him, does he make a sound? I guess it‘s Friday and I’m in an argumentative mood.

Wow. All the labels. Please tell me when we all unite under the banner of freedom. We’re not so different, we just want to live our lives and be left the hell alone, yes? Are libertarians pissed that Ron Paul can’t get everyones support? Why all the faith in man? Man has and will let us down in our quest to remain free. In this thread I just believe we are happy to see someone tell the truth as it is. If joy behar said the same thing I would be equally delighted. Of course carollas rants don’t surprise me. That’s because I seek truth everyday. Welcome to the club Adam.
Get past the label. The only way this mess is cleaned up is if we put God in the white house.

The Robin Hood reference is really a good one. Most kids grow up knowing the Disney Robin Hood version…which is great, because you can use it to point out that Robin Hood was a good guy because he stole from the CORRUPT GOVERNMENT and gave to the poor…he didn’t steal from the “rich” – he stole from the corrupt government. That’s what makes it so sweet!

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 2:33pmThe universe the left has constructed has absolutely nothing to do with how the universe really works. Let me put it this way: Utopia is never going to happen because we are dealing with humans. Now, when WWIII begins and there are food shortages, no money, fuel gone and no where to live, I’ll bet they will figure out how the real universe works. Until then, they are all way too comfortable with their ignorance.
