Why doesn't he just say: "I'm a very different person than I was then. See, I've got a beard now."

although I guess it is possible that someone with such a mega ego could have gotten so caught up in his own press that he was incapable of understanding what he was doing...... I guess.........

still...................WHAT A YUTZ!

Time for a raise? Did the Kochs walk away from him? Was he drunk?

Hmmm! Complete turnaround.

6. FUCK HIM. Anyway, look at Megan Kelly's face while he says all of this.

Is it just me, or does Megan Kelly look super irritated that Glenn Beck basically apologized for his provocative, divisive, nutty behavior?
Or does she usually look like that?

In any case, FUCK GLENN BECK. [fontsize=4]

8. Beck made millions fueling the right's sense of dissatisfaction
Wed Jan 22, 2014, 02:34 PM

That's all they have - no solutions, just dissatisfaction and disapproval.

In this video Beck is not apologizing for the harm he's done, or even suggesting that he'll do anything different in the future. He's just admitting that his "product" has been harmful to the national discussion of policy. That's a step, but it counts for nothing.

If Beck seriously wants to do good now, he'll have to do a lot of homework AND give up a large share of the audience he built - the ones who only want him to be a mouthpiece for their dissatisfaction. My guess? No change. Beck continues selling the product that made him wealthy. It's just business.

I do hope it is real, and not just publicity stunt, like the ones that made him famous.

Clown actually. Heh - one clown interviewing another here.

I wouldn't mind having his money, but I wouldn't want ONE CENT of it if I had to do what he's done to gain it.

That he is about to go to blind? He seem looks like he can see himself being a dick for 'tearing the country apart'. Here the proof from Huffington Post.

so I don't know and don't care what GB has to say. He has no conscience and no soul so I wouldn't believe any mea culpa he bleets anyway. Lost cause.

13. OK this is my interpretation. The only persons he considers "people" are republicans...

he regrets the right-wing in-fighting. That is all. He wants us all "unified" under a GOP banner.

After careful analysis of the situation your help create and the history of your discourse, your best course of action is determined to be; fuck off and die.
