Glenn Beck could go to jail?

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.
 
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.

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.

"Massachusetts, where Alharbi filed his suit, is one of about a dozen states that does not have a shield law protecting journalists from revealing anonymous sources.

Saris acknowledged that her ruling would raise “First Amendment concerns,” but said the document production that she ordered failed to show that authorities indeed thought Alharbi had funded the bombing.

“None of the documents supports the idea that Alharbi was the ‘the money man’ financing the Boston Marathon attacks,” Saris said in the 61-page order."

That would be a good place for him. He's a freaking lunatic and should be off the streets in a padded room somewhere.

No, he wanted cruz. And when cruz got knocked he went apeshit. beck hates trump in the worst way.
 
Imagine the precedent. If beck goes to jail for false reporting than we need to build more jails for all the liberals on every station.

You do realize that US district judges are subject to FEDERAL law, not state law, correct?

Also, I'm not talking about what is legal, I'm talking about what is right.

If reporters are suddenly afraid that they can go to jail for not revealing sources that does two things. 1. it makes them less likely to investigate stores that need investigating, and 2. it makes witnesses less likely to come forward.

THAT should be the main concern here, not if some asshole got accused of something he alleges he didn't do.

trumps not an extremist. He's out for himself (an extremist is out for an ideal) and he realizes that his way of life is over if hilary gets elected. If anyone is an extremist it is her. She has sold out to multinational corporations who don't give a flying fuck about this country other than how to milk it.
