This time their intolerance is being displayed towards the now red hot Glenn Beck of Fox News.
As the big networks cable offerings and the old Lefty favorite CNN get their asses constantly kicked by Fox News across the board in prime time and elsewhere, they're constantly looking at alternative ways of slowing down the news network. Which happens to be the only one that simply gives far more Americans what they wish to see, and that's some anti Obama news coverage built on the truth, unlike the others who are simply propaganda arms of the left and the radical Obama administration.
I watch 'em all and the leftward Obama loving slant on 9 out of 10 of these cable and network outlets renders them nearly intolerable much of the time in this office and household as most of you know as does the Nielsen Rating company week after week.
The American Spectator :
"Ah, liberal tolerance.
NBC wants Fox competitor Glenn Beck fired.
Chuck Todd and company at NBC News are outraged that conservative talker Beck won't --or can't-- be fired for calling President Obama a 'racist.' They blogged as follows:**The White House doesn't want to give Glenn Beck a bigger platform or extra oxygen -- especially regarding his remark yesterday that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture" -- so they won't comment, even off record.
Beck, after all, is a radio DJ who somehow ended up getting a national platform to give his opinion on politics. What's most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn't a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses.
There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it's now encouraged. And all of this could turn ACTUAL journalists into the next Howard Beales.
It's getting nuts that the folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists. Whether it's former political consultants-turned-TV execs or former radio DJs, or former California socialites, the folks helping to accelerate the public's perception of the media off a cliff made their livings trying to do other things. Of course, Beck's crazy language could have one unintended consequence: It could cost him bookings with any Republicans who want to be popular outside Beck's hard-core bizarro-land viewers.

Ahh, that good old "only journalists can know and understand journalism" attitude, as if there's some special qualification that enables one to consistently and sickeningly kiss the ass of the Barack Obama administration and Bash Bush.
