Glenn Beck: Should Fox Toss Him Out of the Coop?
By David Corn - Politics DailyGlenn Beck is walking toward a cliff -- or running, or skipping. The question is, will Fox News go flying over the edge with him, or give him a push? For years, Beck has pitched various conspiracy theories with a rather predictable thrust: The left is out to take over and/or destroy the United States. (The relationship between assuming control of the country and scheming its decimation has always been a bit fuzzy.) And his targets have been sinister lefty outfits that are not household names: the Tides Foundation, ACORN, and others. As long as Beck stuck to this classic tale -- secret commies ...

New Nixon Tapes, Documents Released From Watergate Era
By Deborah Hastings - AOL News
(Dec. 10) -- Newly released audiotapes and secret documents from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library show a president obsessed with controlling the media and his public persona during the latter stages of his doomed administration. The California library has displayed and posted online 265 hours of secretly taped White House conversations from February to March 1973, as well as others from early April 1973 -- while the Vietnam War raged and Nixon found himself increasingly unpopular because of news reports unraveling the Watergate scandal. AP Among the documents released by the Richard ...

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November: Guy Fawkes Day Celebrations
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Nov. 5) -- Remember, remember the fifth of November. Break out your fireworks. Today we celebrate Guy Fawkes Day, the commemoration of the British conspirator who in 1605 hatched a scheme to ignite 36 barrels of gunpowder and demolish the Houses of Parliament, only to have his hopes of sparking a "Catholic Revolution" in decidedly Protestant, Church of England-era England foiled by British authorities. Despite his failure, torture and eventual public death, the British and other fans of anarchy have celebrated Fawkes' failed mischief annually for over 400 years by burning his effigy over a ...
Conspiracy Theories Keep 'Coast to Coast' Fans Talking
By Lee Speigel - AOL News
(Nov. 2) -- George Noory says that if he weren't a national radio talk show host, he'd probably be in politics. That's not surprising. As the primary host of "Coast to Coast AM," the biggest overnight radio program in North America, Noory's voice reaches millions of nightly (or overnightly) listeners on 540 stations and streams to 10 million more over the Internet. Ever since Noory took over the the permanent hosting duties of the Premiere Radio Networks show from Art Bell in 2003, he been a leading voice in the nightly explorations of things that often go bump in the night: UFOs, psychic ...
From Russia With Love: Oswald Letter Auctioned Off
By Lee Speigel - AOL News
(Oct. 14) – A letter JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald wrote to his mother -- a key piece of evidence from the Warren Commission investigation -- has just been auctioned off for $7,050. In the letter, Oswald, whom the commission determined to be the slain president's sole killer, tells his mother about his Russian-born wife's visit with her uncle, a KGB agent. For nearly 50 years, conspiracy advocates have touted the notion that the government covered up important information about the Kennedy assassination, speculating that the Soviet KGB intelligence agency was somehow ...
Plum Island: From Secret Disease Research Site to Real Estate Hot Spot?
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Oct. 7) -- Plum Island, a small, pork-chop-shaped landmass off the tip of New York's Long Island, is one of the few remaining unspoiled habitats for the natural flora and fauna of the Long Island Sound, offering a rare natural oasis in a heavily developed region. Also, there's a germ warfare and animal disease research facility. This seeming paradox is what a team of environmentalists and civic leaders were faced with when they toured the island earlier this week as part of a process that could lead to opening up the island to development. The government is considering moving the lab to ...
