Glenn Beck China Syndrome Misrepresentation?

140+ Fox News Bias videos at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

Although Glenn Beck's recent claim that earthquakes in Japan are a warning from God defies fact checking, when Beck purported to lecture his Fox News TV viewers on nuclear reactors and "The China Syndrome," he ended up misrepresenting both the meaning of the title of the movie "The China Syndrome" and whether that worst case scenario is possible, as I show in this video.

The audio clip I use of Glenn Beck comes from the March 14, 2011, radio broadcast of "The Glenn Beck Show," a clip of which is also available on YouTube in a video from TheYoungTurks channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLDYIy6Epdc

The video clips I use of Glenn Beck come from the March 15, 2011, Fox News broadcast of "Glenn Beck," a longer segment of which is currently available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ft9-D-jhA

The clip I use of Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, and Donald Hotton comes from the 1979 movie "The China Syndrome" available for rental or purchase on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EY9UXC

The image I use of my October 2009 video titled "Stephen Colbert PWNs Glenn Beck" comes from the YouTube video player page at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAyCNxl8I54

The image I use of a GE Mark I nuclear reactor similar to the one at Fukushima comes from the US government's Nuclear Regulatory Commission page at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/teachers/03.pdf

The image I use of the March 12, 2011, Scientific American article titled "Nuclear Experts Explain Worst-Case Scenario at Fukushima Power Plant," including the quote from nuclear physicist Kenneth Bergeron, is available online at http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fukushima-core

how fucking embarrassed are Americans to have information presented to them in the way glen does?what next paper mache? or perhaps a panting using half a potato .blue peter political podiatry.jesus.

The earthquake happened in Japan, why would he mention a Greek goddess?

And what a f**king asshole he is, thousands of people died and 100 times more lost everything they owned and he sitting there earning money from talking that because they're not christian "God" is punishing them?

By the way, the way Beck mentioned earthquake in Japan has no sense of condolence or humanity. This wack job mentioned it as if it was some kind of joke. I feel sorry for the american who have to listen to him.

The center of the earth is a nuclear reactor anyway. To say that a nuclear reactor will melt all the way through earth is like saying Beck eating dog poo until he becomes as big as earth. Well I am saying that he will. AND I AM NOT NOT SAYING THAT, NEITHER.

Ooooh tornados and shit on the west coast. It's cause they're rejecting Thor. Got hit by a lightening? Fuck Yahweh, that's Thor punishing you.

Thor didn't punish the japanese tho, that was Poseidon.

How are people like this still even relevant in the real world? Those of you out there that listen to this ass, or bill o reilly or fox in general, should please leave my country now! With you idiots gone, there will be no more fox, no more idiotic "reality" shows. No more paris hilton. I am proud to say I still don't know who the fuck kim kardashian really is!

[sr420det]

[fenix144]

I just feel the need to punch him in the throat so he shuts up.

[cynicalprophet]

Glenn Beck thinks that earthquakes are messages? I think that's called crazy.

[MenwithHill]

I should have bought his book, to slam him with it.
