ABC News' Brian Ross Investigating Glenn Beck Advertiser

[Tunkamerica]

ABC News chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross is setting his sights on Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck and Goldline, which is one of the sponsors of his eponymous television program.

The report, which will kick off tonight on "Nightline," focuses on investigations into the company currently underway in California.

The Ross report takes Beck to task directly, from the headline ("Exclusive: Glenn Beck's Golden Advertiser Under Investigation") to the substance of the article, examining the argument that Beck's endorsement of Goldline has been used to deceive potential customers into purchasing gold coins.

1. Good that Beck's idiots may/will lose money. Bad that the profits go to a reich-wing

corporation.

From here - it's a wash.

UNLESS of course, Beck can be taken down and imprisoned because of his complicity. Then it becomes a major win.

2. Aren't those actually "gold plated"?

I know there is one of those tv ads for gold coins which are plated and have less than a nickel's worth of gold on them.

3. The only gold Beck has to offer is fool's gold. /eom
