Glenn Beck could go to jail?

[TheOldSchool]

Much the way that the GOP screwed itself by giving in to nutjob conspiracies resulting in Trump, Beck has seemingly screwed himself in the same way. After the Boston bombing, Beck was SOOO hell-bent on fomenting partisan hatred and insanity, that he attempted to destroy the life of a completely innocent man in a ratings grab.

Now, much like the GOP and Losin' Donald's nomination, it's coming back to bite him in the ass:

In the weeks after the 2013 attack that killed three people and injured 264 others, the conservative media host reported that a Saudi Arabian student was part of the plot. Authorities had “tagged” 20-year-old Abdulrahman Alharbi as a “proven terrorist” who funded the operation, Beck alleged.

“You know who the Saudi is?” Beck, formerly of Fox News, said. “He’s the guy who paid for it.”

The claim was untrue. Police did question Alharbi, who had attended the marathon and was injured in the blast. They even searched his apartment and Facebook account. Within a day of the attack, authorities had cleared him of any wrongdoing.

That didn’t stop Beck from pushing the “money man” theory. In several radio broadcasts and posts on his website TheBlaze, Beck claimed that Alharbi recruited the two brothers who carried out the attack, and ultimately gave them the “go order” for the bombing.

In an order issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris in Massachusetts ruled that Beck must identify at least two officials from the Department of Homeland Security who, according to Beck, gave TheBlaze the information purportedly linking Alharbi to the bombing.

The ruling came in a defamation lawsuit Alharbi filed after the attack alleging that Beck falsely accused him of participating in it, causing him “grave injury.”

Saris’s order could set up a First Amendment battle. If Beck refuses to comply, the judge could impose sanctions or even take the extreme step of jailing Beck for contempt.

Judge orders Glenn Beck to reveal sources for story linking innocent man to Boston Marathon bombing

This is the man that annointed Cruz and claimed the White Horse Prophecy.

FUCK YOU for trying to link Beck to Trump.

Beck spent his entire career paving the way for Trump. You should be grateful. Now he has to look on in horror at what he's done, and may have to do so from a jail cell.

Wrong he will not go to jail because defamation is not a crime. He can be sued but thats it.

He can be jailed in contempt of court. Like right wing legend Kim Davis.

Beck is evil. I remember when boiled live baby frogs on live TV. Sickening...

And you've never ate lobster before I bet.

Not baby ones. Have you? BTW, Beck didn't eat the baby frogs after he boiled them.

Beck is insane, but absolutely NO ONE should be FOR the government being allowed to force him to reveal his sources.

I swear some of you idiots place your ideology above all, don't you.

We have libel and slander laws for a reason.

This case is one of those reasons.

libel and slander have NOTHING to do with forcing a journalist to reveal their sources .

The onus is on the plaintiff to PROVE Beck lied, not the other way around.

If Beck was actually a "journalist", he'd refuse and go to jail for it. But he's not.

We know that Beck "lied" - he made false and defamatory statements on national television. It is impossible for him to deny that. Whether he just made the story up himself, or got it from someone else is the only standard in which a defamation suit can be judged on. If I were Alharbi's lawyer, I'm pretty sure that I could make a pretty strong case that Beck's refusal to give his "sources" is evidence that those sources don't actually exist - which would make Beck liable for what I imagine would be a massive settlement.

In an order issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris in Massachusetts ruled that Beck must identify at least two officials from the Department of Homeland Security who, according to Beck, gave TheBlaze the information purportedly linking Alharbi to the bombing.

The ruling came in a defamation lawsuit Alharbi filed after the attack alleging that Beck falsely accused him of participating in it, causing him “grave injury.”

Saris’s order could set up a First Amendment battle. If Beck refuses to comply, the judge could impose sanctions or even take the extreme step of jailing Beck for contempt.

Judge orders Glenn Beck to reveal sources for story linking innocent man to Boston Marathon bombing

After Trump's rape trial - maybe the two of them could share a cell. Maybe even a prison romance...

Hey Jackass party supporter, there is no Trump rape trial.

Yet

A third woman alleges she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump

And?

When you have a proven mother fucker getting his dick sucked in the Oval Office what's your problem with these allegations?

Because everyone knows that getting a consensual blowjob from a legal adult is completely equivalent to having sex with a 12-year old sex slave.

This is the man that annointed Cruz and claimed the White Horse Prophecy.

FUCK YOU for trying to link Beck to Trump.

Beck spent his entire career paving the way for Trump. You should be grateful. Now he has to look on in horror at what he's done, and may have to do so from a jail cell.

Wrong he will not go to jail because defamation is not a crime. He can be sued but thats it.

He can be jailed in contempt of court. Like right wing legend Kim Davis.

Hey jackass, beck has a right to protect any of his sources. Your article is crap

Sure. He can refuse to give up his sources, and go to jail for it, as well as almost certainly losing this defamation case.

So your for reporters going to jail for not revealing sources ? Got it.
