The Tracy and Hepburn of 2010’s right-wing elitist set, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, just can’t get enough of one another.<\/p>\n

Sarah Palin was the first guest on the first show Glenn Beck aired on Fox News. He interviewed her again last January when he revealed what he wrote in his diary about her:<\/p>\n

“Tomorrow, I meet Sarah Palin and family for the first time. I’m actually a little nervous \u2014 as she is one of the only people that I can see that can possibly lead us out of where we are.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued…“OMG, I hope she likes me back.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Palin reciprocated by attending his Acute Paranoia Revival Show in DC. Then he re-reciprocated by trodding up to Alaska for a for-profit 9\/11 memorial<\/a> with tickets ranging up to $225.00.<\/p>\n

Now Palin continues the love affair with a double Twitter shout out for Beck’s phony “news”<\/em> site The Blaze:<\/p>\n

#1<\/a>: Log on 2 “theblaze.com” & change the course of information gathering in America! Site helps truth be told;we’ve had to put up w\/LSM too long<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

#2<\/a>: Rock your news-gathering world! Take a look at this new website recently launched called The Blaze. Let’s change…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a joke. Palin has called herself a journalist despite never having had a real job as one. The best she can claim is that she read sports scores for a weekend broadcast on a local station in Alaska. Now she thinks Beck’s online circle-jerk qualifies as news.<\/p>\n

Beck has also called himself a journalist. But he’s also said that he isn’t one (typical Beckian doubletalk). The Blaze is his attempt to cash in on the sort of revenue generated by Drudge, Huffington, Breitbart, etc. When he announced the site he said that he had hired the best journalists he could find. But if you click on the headlines, most of them lead to articles posted elsewhere on the Internet. There is virtually no original reporting on the site.<\/p>\n

The right-wing noise machine is well known for its insulated PR practice. Stories spin through Drudge, National Review, Fox Nation, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and back around through them all a few times. The Blaze is just a new destination on the map.<\/p>\n

The fact that Palin committed two precious tweets to fluffing this waste of bandwidth just affirms the circular nature of their media. They just keep inventing new ways to tie up their disciples in a maze of conservative propaganda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
