Today, Media Matters for America called for Fox News to immediately fire Glenn Beck after he talked about "put[ting] poison" in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's wine. As Media Matters noted, Beck warned his viewers on August 3 that "[i]f anyone thinks that it would be a good idea to turn violent, think again," adding that "[i]f you ever hear someone thinking about or talking about turning violent, it is your patriotic duty to stop them."
"Glenn Beck talking about poisoning the speaker of the House is just the latest in a series of actions, statements, and stunts that have no place on a credible news network," said Eric Burns, president of Media Matters. "Beck himself said that it is our 'patriotic duty' to stop someone who talks about turning violent. Doesn't he deserve to be held to this same standard?"
