Glenn Beck, Norway victims, Hitler Youth and the JTA

|
JTA, the self-styled "Global News Service of the Jewish People," is spreading this article around.  The headline: Beck likens Norway victims to Hitler Youth !

NEW YORK (JTA) -- Talk-show host Glenn Beck on his syndicated radio show likened the victims of the shooting at a Norwegian summer camp to young members of the Nazi Party.

In a seven-minute segment Monday morning on the Premiere Radio Network's "The Glenn Beck Program," Beck described the attack "as a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler Youth. I mean who sends their kids to a political camp?"

Yes, Glenn Beck said that.  Just one of several mind-numbingly stupid and inappropriate comments he's allowed to slip out in the course of his stream of consciousness radio and TV rants.  But it's curious that JTA extracted this particular headline (which smacks of sensationalism and twists what Beck actually said that much further) from that seven-minute segment.

At the Jerusalem Post, the JTA article is faithfully reproduced, but there's also an audio clip included (courtesy of Media Matters, no less), which concludes with this assessment by Beck:

There is no difference between him and the 9-11 bombers.  Nothing.  No difference.  He is just as bad as Osama bin Laden.  Period.
So why not that headline?  Why not Beck likens Anders Behring Breivik to Osama bin Laden? With the massive media campaign underway to smear every vocal opponent of global jihad with Breivik's horrific insanity, you'd think that would be the "dog bites man" angle.  But, instead, the JTA just piles on.
 
Beck is probably going to end up having to issue yet another apology for the Hitler Youth remark, as he should.  But you have to wonder about the JTA's agenda here.  You have to wonder about it a lot lately.
