 Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance

Alexander Zaitchik

About the Program

Alexander Zaitchik, a freelance journalist who contributes to AlterNet.org,
presents a critical account of political pundit Glenn Beck's personal and
professional life.  Mr. Zaitchik contends that Mr. Beck's radio career
was floundering until he found a niche in promoting negligent claims against
the left and coordinating political rallies that the author argues were less
about the advancement of a specific political or social cause and more a
promotional opportunity for the radio and tv host.  Alexander Zaitchik
presents his book at Borders bookstore in Washington, DC.
