Beck: "I Will Never Say What I Don't Believe"

The article I chose to write about is Beck: “I Will Never Say What I Don’t Believe.” I chose this one because since I read the title of it I got very interested. We were just talking about free press and I thought that the article had to do with that too. So I opened it and started reading it. I don’t think I have seen Beck before, but the article does a good job describing his job and position. This person writes about Camila Herrera of Standford Advocate, spending an entire day with Glenn Beck to get a profile of the new Fox News host.

Glenn Beck used to work on CNN before he changed to Fox News, and he clearly stated that he felt much better now that he is the new host of FNC. The reason for that is that he feels “more at home at Fox News than he did on CNN.” That for me was really interesting because I have always thought that working on CNN, the greatest news channel in the world, had to be really awesome, but for the way in which Beck expressed about it, it didn’t seem like it. One of the things he said about the difference of the two places was that "Fox is where he can 'stick out,' where he can consistently tell 'the story of what I see in America, according to me.'" This issue is really important for media professionals because comments like that I think can help to understand better a network or the way of thinking of some people, and ease the study of television.

Being a news channel is really complicated, I think. You have to be aware of everything that’s happening and make the correct judgment of every situation. I thought that the bigger and greater the channel was, the better it delivered the news. But after reading this article, I could find out that maybe because of being so big, the judgment and truthiness of things start to go down. I think that Glenn Beck did well at speaking his feelings, because in that way we can also see some truth behind things. Now I know that probably CNN doesn’t let its employees to speak their mind, and I also know that maybe, as they manipulate comments, they can also manipulate the news. Glenn Beck said "I will never say what I don´t believe." I think that this phrase has something about Gen Y. We are always doing what we think it´s right, doesn´t matter who thinks what of it, but I think it is a good characteristic in a way, so let´s never lose it and apply it correctly.
