Is Media Matters Now Making Up Facts in War Against Beck?

Media Matters makes no secret of their main mission and tactics –“guerrilla warfare and sabotage” deployed to bring down Fox News in general and Glenn Beck in particular.

But just because your mission is clear, doesn’t mean that you are very good at waging the war.

Today Media Matters posted a story by anti-Beck activist Angelo Carusone. The story asserts that Glenn is losing radio station affiliates right and left. It specifically states that the Beck affiliate list is now short of the “400 station milestone.”

Is Media Matters Now Making Up Facts in War Against Beck?

The author issues a new demand:

Well, it’s time for Glenn Beck to update his website and marketing materials.

According to industry data obtained by Media Matters, Glenn Beck’s radio program is now short of its heralded “over 400” affiliate status.  Asked to comment, Radio Business Reporter’s Carl Marucci echoed this finding, stating, “our best gauge right now is also shy of 400.”

Media Matters already employs over 80 people in their crusade.  But this does not always guarantee accuracy.

Business Insider’s Glynnis MacNicol reports:

According to spokesperson at Premiere Networks, which syndicates The Glenn Beck Program, the show can be heard on more than 430 affiliates.

We took a look at the list of stations that do carry Beck it confirms this number.

Apparently, Media Matters forgot to add to their count the 88 stations that have acquired Beck in the past year.

Carusone, who is the new director of Media Matter’s “DropFox” campaign, was pretty proud of his reporting today:

I guess if you are 0-for-1, you might want to wait on the frame.

    Beck Radio Falling Short Of “400th Affiliate Milestone”
    March 31, 2011 12:24 pm ET by Angelo Carusone

    On June 14, 2010, Premiere Radio Networks announced that Glenn Beck’s radio program “hit a broadcasting milestone of 400 affiliates.” Since then, Glenn Beck’s website boasts that his show is “heard on over 400 stations:”

    Well, it’s time for Glenn Beck to update his website and marketing materials.

    According to industry data obtained by Media Matters, Glenn Beck’s radio program is now short of its heralded “over 400” affiliate status. Asked to comment, Radio Business Reporter’s Carl Marucci echoed this finding, stating, “our best gauge right now is also shy of 400.” Premiere Radio Networks did not respond to requests for comment.

    This should come as no surprise. Since the beginning of 2011, seven radio stations have dropped Glenn Beck’s show.

    Buckley radio dropped Beck from five of its stations – WOR in New York City and four in Connecticut. Philadelphia‘s WPHT and Madison’s WTDY also replaced Beck. Kansas City’s KMBZ moved Glenn Beck from his coveted morning slot to a significantly less desirable late-evening slot.

    Further, due to Jewish Funds for Justice’s terrific work, five New York City radio stations have already committed to keeping Glenn Beck off the air there.

    Forbes contributor Rick Ungar explains the financial significance of Beck losing radio affiliates – especially a NYC station:

    While the radio show can survive the loss of the smaller markets in the Buckley group, no radio program can long survive the loss of New York as being shut-out of the nation’s largest market makes selling national advertising exceptionally difficult if not completely impossible.

    This is particularly true when you add in the loss of affiliates in major markets such as Philadelphia and the show’s getting the boot out of the key morning drive slot in Kansas City.

    Although much attention has been given to the dramatic decline of Glenn Beck’s sponsor-dry Fox News show, this significant drop in radio support reminds us that Beck‘s decline isn’t limited to just television.

    The verdict: Glenn Beck is bad for business, whether it be television or radio.

    I tried posting on Media Matters – after receiving an “unsolicited” article – sent to me – by email – from Media Matters.

    Therefore, Media Matters has access to information – to get my email address.

    ********
    But yet, my response to the article will not be shown – as indicated by Media Matters – until I have numerous comments.

    I started making simple responses to other people’s responses – to try and get on the board – but nothing.

    I assume it is until I prove by my comments – whether I am a liberal, Far Left Wingnut – willing to participate in their garbage.

    If you read any of what is on Media Matters – it is all BULLSHYT ARTISTS – downplaying what is occurring with the Democrat Party and FALSELY PORTRAYING that President Obama does not have any corruption in his administration, ACORN has never been involved in VOTE RIGGING and has never been prosecuted for vote rigging – and that it is all about race. Pretty disgusting.

      It is the same way with the other Soros organizations. In Colorado, a resent investigation found that at least 5000 voters who participated in the last election weren’t even citizens of the state according to state records. The Secretary of State, Gessler, is trying to clean up the voters rolls and eliminate the out of state voters, illegal immigrant voters, etc. A Soros sponsored “group” calling itself “ProgressNow Colorado” is sending out e-mails screaming about how the SecState is trying to “SUBVERT” the election system in the state, and claiming that there is NO illegal voting going on in Colorado!!!! This latest lie is coming from a subversive organization that recently ran a FRAUDULENT write in contest with NO ANNOUNCED WINNER! The left lies, then lies again to cover it’s other lies….it is the nature of the beast!

      @Zombie~

      Make fun of a disease if you like. Glenn Beck doesn’t care. If he did, he would have hidden the fact that he’s an alcoholic. He is open and honest about it.

      I, too, am a recovering alcoholic. At our AA meetings, we sometimes refer to ourselves as a bunch of drunks. That’s what we could be if we went back out and drank again. I have 31 years of sobriety.

      When I was drinking, I used to wish I could be like “normal” people. Well, after I got into AA, it suddenly occurred to me that the people I had wished so much to be like were actually nut jobs. The people in AA make better sense, make better decisions, and are more genuine than MOST of those who do drink. I have frioends who drink, and I value their friendship because they are the rare ones who are like the ones who think like a member of AA. And, we in AA are “insane!”

      So, I doubt seriously whether GB gives a toot whether you ridicule him or not.

      Just because Media Matters say it does it make it true? Hell no, because the left can’t tell the truth no matter what…..
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      If Media Matters says it, then we know it‘s NOT true because Leftists don’t know what telling the truth means.

      Also, the very fact that they would even bring it up proves that it’s not true, because they think it’s against Glenn.

      Trust me, if people couldn’t get Glenn Beck on the radio and TV, there would be quite an uprising with cable and radio stations. What is it– Hannity? — the guys in the background yell? “DEMAND IT!”

      • To understand the wannabe tyrants tactics, consider the following quote from Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister.

      “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
      people will eventually come to believe it. The
      lie can be maintained only for such time as the
      State can shield the people from the political,
      economic and/or military consequences of the
      lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the
      State to use all of its powers to repress dissent,
      for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie,
      and thus by extension, the truth is the
      greatest enemy of the State.”

      This is why the wannabe tyrants want to close down Fox News and control the Internet.
      Access to the truth is the death knell to the “preponderance of propaganda”.

      Taxing one group to give to the other is THEFT, anyway you look at it. Government money does not come from a money tree or fairy dust. Continuing to spend like we have been is like finding a nickle on the street an deciding to spend the nickle on a lobster dinner. Rich people buy things and therefor other people have to be employe to make those things. Rich people have business and hire other people to work.

      Let’s see. Why is this story important?

      If Media Matters made a mistake, it doesn’t matter because they don’t care about credibility or profits. That’s obvious.

      If the story is true, does Glenn Beck lose any credibility? No, not really. Let’s see why.

      Glenn Beck said that he is ready to lose it all to search for the truth. He is willing to sit underneath a tree to talk from a soap box if he needs to do it. He is no longer going for the ratings and I believe him.

      All you guys/gals who post here regularly should not forget that this area of The Blaze is Americas De Facto Op-Ed page on steroids.

      This area gives Americans a chance to read what other Americans are thinking. This “Op-Ed” area is not like that of the New York Times or any establishment paper.

      Mr. Soros fears this area and would love nothing more than to make this area look like Americans are not in support of Glenn Beck.

      Mr. Soros is trying to influence how this area is perceived. To that end, he plants people who will write offensive comments about Mr. Beck or anyone who posts honest opinions and facts.

      Mr. Soros’ minions will either write something stupid or they will claim that those who post here are stupid:

      JZS, THENEWMCCARTHY, ANNIYAN428, CLYDE_CLYDE,
      MARYBETHELIZABETH, ZOMBIE JESUS LOVES ME, SANE-
      ROMEO, ETC.

      Today, the Tea Party went on the offensive in Washington, D.C. We the people need to remain focused on getting out the message on what is currently happening.

      We the people are a tremendous force for information, but we must remain vigilant because we are just starting to go on the offensive.

      What George Soros wants to do, more than eliminate Glenn Beck, is to shut down The Blaze, especially this area!

      Only you, the loyal “posters” can keep this place viable. We may disagree, but as long as we search for the truth Mr. Soros will find himself facing great difficulty.

      That is why Glenn’s ratings, and Media Matters, don’t really matter. Keep up the good work:

      CHEEZWHIZ, SHOWTIME, CATB, SNOWLEOPARD, AZDEBI,
      JOHN1776, 13TH IMAM, GRANDMAOF5, TXPILOT, MISSION-
      ARYDAD, SAVINGTHEREPUBLIC.COM, KICKAGRANDMA,
      BECKWILL, 82NDAIRBORNE, ETC.

      And anyone that I forgot to mention who are regular posters.

      As long as all of you keep searching for the truth, what Media Matters reports is not important. They don’t have readers and “posters” like those found here.

      You guys are the pulse of America. Keep up the good work.
