That was the question interwoven throughout Thursday’s edition of Glenn Beck’s radio show as he and author David Limbaugh discussed the ouster of Fox News host Bill O’Reilly.
Beck has noted that O’Reilly was the victim of a smear campaign orchestrated by liberal groups to force Fox News to push O’Reilly out the door.
According to westernjournalism.com, Beck and Limbaugh agreed that liberals will continue to try to silence other conservative voices.
Limbaugh said it is in the nature of liberals to suppress free speech and in that of conservatives to nurture it
“We believe in the marketplace of ideas and that our ideas will triumph if given a full airing,” Limbaugh said.
“They are triumphant that this happened to O’Reilly,” Limbaugh added. “I can’t imagine going after a liberal icon. I don’t want to get those people off the air.”
Limbaugh and Beck agreed that intolerance broadcast by the media helps recruit conservatives.
“I think MSNBC has done more for the conservative movement than Fox in all of its years,” Beck added.
