Beck’s rep reveals, “After raving about Muse for four minutes, Glenn made a joke about their representatives e-mailing him to stop. While it is entirely possible that Muse does not like having Glenn as a fan, he was making a joke.” Here’s Beck explaining his lie and dissing us bloggers who believed him.

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that it’s not true or the fact that Beck is so self-aware that he’s full of shit that he felt compelled to make the “joke”.
lol, Glenn Beck.
I guess Glenn Beck thought it would somehow be obvious when he lied about this, as opposed to the other 99.9% of the time his mouth is open…
Glenn Beck = biggest moron on tv. (Sean Hannity is a close 2nd)
well, muse suck. glenn beck sucks. 1 + 1 = 2.
Sorry, this is going to come off a bit rough, but isn’t Stereogum (and everyone else who covered this) guilty of following a proven liar? I mean it’s staring you right in the face. We could go through a relatively short list of very significant fallacies, but we don’t need to. We’re all already aware the massive charade he puts on and we’re likely all guilty for continually watching and listening to his programs.
Stereogum could have chosen not to follow GB. He’s just an asshole with a mic, he should be reduced accordingly.
“we’re likely all guilty for continually watching and listening to his programs.” Speak for yourself! I have much better things to do with my time. He is a vile, lying racist sacre monger.
Hey, I’m not the biggest fan of Grizzly Bear either, but they deserve better than to be called a collective “asshole with a mic”.
To be fair, I kind of shamed them into it. However, I apologize for nothing.
i thought it was weird that they would’ve heard his radio show and had enough time to email him and ask him to stop. it seemed a little fishy. also, duh he sucks.
I hate Glenn Beck, but he does rip these bloggers a new one. Hearing him explain it, it does seem absurd that no one questioned the timing. That’s a problem with the herd mentality of this instant-news culture: no one takes the time to double-check sources.
