At the Beck and Called Out 1
When Glenn Beck’s radio show was canceled in Philly, Beck ranted that Philly was some kind of post-Apocalyptic hell hole out of Grand Theft Auto.
Philadelphia is a big city. It’s got good parts and not so good parts, like any other city. When I worked there, I walked all over the Center City and University City areas without difficulty.
John DeBella, a local Philly radio host, calls out Beck’s lies.
By the way, the Indepence Hall area is just around the corner from where the Philly chapter of Drinking Liberally met for a while when I was there. Because street parking in Philly can be a nightmare difficult, I commonly parked two to four blocks away. Never a problem. (DL has since moved to a location closer to City Hall where street parking is in your dreams–most of the attendees walk or take transit.)

As always, thanks for the link!
In the end, my question is, was Beck’s statement foolishly stupid, or stupidly foolish?
