Glenn Beck: 谴责媒体对UnitedHealthcare首席执行官遇害案的报道中,过度关注凶手的相貌,而忽略了受害者和事件的严重性。同时,批评Taylor Lorenz和BLM纽约分部成员发表的煽动性言论,认为这些言论虽然令人反感,但言论自由应该受到保护,除非这些言论直接煽动即将发生的非法行为。他还谈到了媒体对某些事件的处理方式存在偏见,将责任归咎于与事件无关的人,例如将George Tiller的死归咎于Bill O'Reilly。 Taylor Lorenz: 对凶杀案表达了庆祝情绪,认为这代表着对不公正医疗体系的某种正义。后又澄清“joyful”用词不当,改为“celebratory”。 BLM纽约分部成员:呼吁对压迫者采取报复性行动。 Bill O'Reilly: 回顾了2009年George Tiller被杀事件,指出媒体将责任归咎于他,而忽略了Tiller本人行为的不当。他认为媒体对UnitedHealthcare首席执行官遇害案的报道也存在类似的偏见,并强调自己不赞成暴力行为。

Shownotes Transcript

Glenn begins the show by explaining why he lacks the Christmas spirit this year, forcing him to examine the greatest gift ever given to mankind. An anchor on CNN asked to remove the chyron so the full photo of the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect would be shown to show off his "attractiveness." Why are so many people glorifying the man accused of murdering a father and husband in cold blood? Glenn plays more outrageous statements made by "journalist" Taylor Lorenz and a BLM member from New York. Does the First Amendment protect these horrific statements? Bill O'Reilly gives his opinion on this latest example of the media's egregious behavior. BlazeTV host of "Economic War Room" Kevin Freeman joins to explain what a gold-backed currency would mean for the U.S. dollar. Megan Garcia, a mother seeking justice for her son's AI-linked suicide, joins alongside her lawyer Meetali Jain, to share her tragic story and how her recent lawsuit aims to keep this from happening to other parents. Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris joins to discuss the developments in a major case involving more children harmed by AI chatbots.
