Depressingly Familiar Tactic Watch

The other new one around Ms. Herrod is that Glen Beck “took the high road” and refused to air the heavily edited tape. That he somehow had enough journalistic integrity to not run with the story when everyone else did, saying “Based on the facts that we have right now, this is something that I wouldn’t air and demand a resignation on.”

Unfortunately, he had run with the story earlier that day on his radio show, saying it was clearly discrimination against white farmers, and only backtracked when the story began to get fishy shortly before he went on air. Didn’t stop Hannity or O’Reilly, but Beck is hardly innocent here.
