Glenn Beck on the grill-'fess up and take your medicine

  Glenn Beck is a busy man. He's also funny and articulate.
  But, as the Daily Caller writes, he or his staff have a problem not attributing ownership of various stuff floating around the web.
  The Caller's article is a must read. Here's a sample:

Publisher Andrew Breitbart has seen a number of his stories surface on various Beck media properties over the past few years. While he describes himself as “grateful for the many times he has credited me and my sites,” Breitbart says that “sometimes he also uses other peoples’ work without crediting them, making it appear as though it were his own.

  Bloggers are punching back, having grown tired of having their stuff stolen without attribution. 
  Here's an example over at Riehl. There's more over there.

Time was I would get push back from commenters for hitting Beck. What some may not have realized is, he has always been known as a content thief out here. That, as much as anything else, turned me off to the guy early on.

Then, there's the book mill, as if anyone could write several books a year, while doing radio and TV full-time. The Tea Party, a 9/11 event in Alaska for which he put out ticket prices. I don't know that there's anything, or anyone, this guy hasn't tried to cash in on. If he turns into a televangelist, or whatever, now, it may be right up his alley. Judging by the reduction in push back and buzz about him, he may always have a niche, but I doubt he'll ever be as relevant as he, unfortunately, once was after he leaves Fox. 

  Glenn Beck seems like an honest good guy.
  He hasn't responded well with this. He's joked about it and fluffed it off, like it's no big deal.
  As a blog and news junkie, I personally noticed that he was doing this, as stuff that surfaces around the web daily would show up on his show with the logo scrubbed.
  That's not right. 
  I predict, sadly, like any other media personality, Beck will see the error in his ways and that this will damage his money machine and act really sorry soon, just like Oprah did when she discovered her fans weren't too happy about that Little Pieces novel that was a phony.
  He's losing his reputation over this. 
  And it's not helping the conservative cause.
