Common Nonsense : Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance
Praise for Alexander Zaitchik's reporting on the Glenn Beck phenomenon 'Alexander Zaitchik has been doing yeoman's work of late, digging deep into the oftentimes disturbing past of the new face and voice of the angry right, Fox News's Glenn Beck.'Simon Maloy, Media Matters for America 'A must-read. . . . Heaven help us all.' Michael Tomasky, The Guardian 'Superb.' Glenn Greenwald, Salon 'I highly recommend Alexander Zaitchik's feature [on Beck.] In it, he profiles not just Beck and his band of aggrieved, paranoid disciples, but the man who inspired him, W. Cleon Skousen.'Sarah Posner, The American Prospect 'Fascinating.' Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic 'Probably the most comprehensive take in terms of backstory that I've seen on the conservative talk star.'Michael Calderone, Politico 'Horrifying. . . . Chillingly informative.'Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times 'Fascinating.' Joe Conason, The New York Observer 'Edifying.' Todd Gitlin, Talking Points Memo 'Terrific. . . . If you're looking for an antidote to the Beck dreck that Time magazine recently passed off as journalism, this is it.'Kevin Drum, Mother Jones 'Despicable, yellow journalism.' Glenn Beck, Fox News Channelmore
