Glenn Beck China Syndrome Misrepresentation?

140+ Fox News Bias videos at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...

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=iLDYIy...

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-...

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/B003...

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=BAyCNx...

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-r...

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/art...

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?

[mariajandira]

Glenn Beck is a comedian

[Treblaine]

How fucking retarded does he have to be to interpret "China Syndrome" literally.

No, he's not a "comedian" he's using that label when it's a convenient defence for him. He's a snake oil salesmen dealing in comforting lies to conservatives.

Also: OF COURSE IT'S IMPOSSRBU! (Sorry xD) Once it get's to the center of the earth, why would it start burning "up"? >.< Also never let this guy find out what a QGM is. He'll probably say someone said it would burn through the sun...

[lolzomgz1337]

Earth quakes being caused by human activity is something that you CAN fact check...and a lot of money and resources are devoted to doing so. just sayin' >.>

Yes they are either descendants of Gaia and Uranus or Gaia and Pontus. They are are called the Primordial Deities who created the fabric of the universe and all Titans and Gods descend from.

[Jeffrey Ambs]

hmm, well i learned something today, thank you.

[RomanHistoryNut]

Actually not, Gaia was the precursor to the Titans as they were to the Olympians

[Jeffrey Ambs]

greek titan, jus sayin.

[pWnographist]

Or maybe Macaroni sculptures!

Beck's laugh makes me want to smash his teeth in. He just sounds so full of himself.
