As 'Rally to Restore Sanity' Nears, Jon Stewart Faces Criticism
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 25) -- Should "fake news" know its place? Days before Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will host dueling rallies on the Washington Mall on Oct. 30, a handful of commentators is questioning whether the comedic duo have gone too far by merging their small-screen antics into bona fide political activism. With over 200,000 people saying they plan to attend Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity," another 16,000 opting to attend Colbert's "March to Keep Fear Alive" and thousands more to signal their approval at satellite gatherings around the country, the spectacle of an event ...
Jon Stewart's 'Rally to Restore Sanity' to Be Broadcast Live, Streamed Live
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 13) -- First the nation watched live as honor was restored. Soon, it will have the opportunity to see the same done to sanity. As with the Glenn Beck rally before, millions of Americans who cannot physically travel to Washington, D.C., will watch rallies hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in our nation's capital on their television and computer screens. On Tuesday, Stewart announced to viewers of "The Daily Show" that the show's website would host a live feed of the event, and that Comedy Central would also broadcast portions of the two rallies. "Comedy Central is willing to ...
Jon Stewart Goes on 'Oprah' as Rally Picks Up Steam
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Sept. 21) -- A little more than a month before his "Rally to Restore Sanity" will be held in Washington, D.C., Jon Stewart appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to promote a new book and poke more fun at Glenn Beck. Stewart's latest interview with Winfrey was officially set up to hawk copies of "Earth: A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race," the comedian's new book, but when Oprah flashed a picture of Beck and asked for Stewart's instant reaction, "The Daily Show" host couldn't help but chide the man whose "Restoring Honor" march provided much of the inspiration for his own upcoming rally. ...
Opinion: Why I Joined Glenn Beck's Rally
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 30) -- The 2010 election cycle is likely to be filled with mystery, wonder and surprise. Both major parties, the tea party movement and myriad other groups will be vying to have their voices heard above the political din. Saturday continued the noise. Two rallies descended upon Washington, D.C., marking the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington. Both conservatives and liberals voiced their opinions this past weekend. Several months ago Glenn Beck's show chose the date for its "Restoring Honor" Rally and secured the Lincoln Memorial location, apparently not ...
Size Matters: Glenn Beck Rally Draws Widely Varying Crowd Estimates
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyThe numbers game is in full swing after Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. As is almost always the case after such events, the crowd estimates vary widely, CNN reports. AirPhotosLive.com -- commissioned by CBS News to take aerial pictures of the crowd -- put the number at 87,000, while Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) insisted, "We're not going to let anyone get away with saying there were less than a million here." No wonder the U.S. Park Police no longer makes estimates, which inevitably prove controversial among those with vested interests. ...
Does God Belong at The Lincoln Memorial?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOn Sunday's episode of CNN's 'Reliable Sources,' Bill Press, Jane Hall and I joined host Howard Kurtz to debate and discuss Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally. Press -- whom I like personally (and who has previously appeared on my podcast), made what were (in my estimation) the most controversial comments of the day. First, he argued it was inappropriate for Glenn Beck to invoke religion at the Lincoln Memorial, saying, "I thought I was at a camp meeting -- an old fashioned, religious camp meeting; I don't think that's appropriate on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial." (Of course, the ...
Family Feud Erupts Over Martin Luther King's Legacy
By Byron Tau - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Aug 28) -- A day of activism and protest in the nation's capital today featured two prominent members of the King family laying very different claims on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Addressing a massive crowd gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, King's niece, Dr. Alveda King, tied the civil rights icon's legacy to the themes of honor, patriotism, service and faith that were highlighted at the gathering. "Today, we are here to honor special men and women, who like my uncle Martin are blessed with servants' hearts," she said. ...
