Glenn Beck recently chimed in on this week’s ridiculous Jake Tapper controversy, in which the Daily Caller, Fox News and, most significantly, Breitbart’s John Nolte piled on the CNN anchor, falsely implicating that he praised NYC terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov for using the phrase “Allahu Akbar.”

Beck, who has become an occasional voice of reason in the Trump era, took to the airwaves this morning and discussed the recent attacks against Tapper, calling them “stupid,” Link to tweet

“It was a stupid and completely wrong thing. But people spread it. Agreed with it. And it’s because of an unreasonable hatred of the media,” he said to guest Bill O’Reilly. “Hatred is the problem. We can’t be blinded by our hate for the media.”

“We must take responsibility for our behavior.”

Beck also defended Tapper’s professionalism during the Obama administration, after O’Reilly suggested that he would never “dare” to defy the “secular progressive movement” with honest reporting.

1. Ok, someone must have slipped something into my coffee...

I thought I just read the phrase “occasional voice of reason” applied to ***Glenn Beck***!

2. Thought I did too... think it might have been an LSD flashback.

4. I was willing to give the phrase ...

... a suspicious and cautious benefit of the doubt until I read “to his guest Bill O’Reilly” in there somewhere. WTF?
