Now it's all over the news that Glenn Beck has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. They're quoting a Facebook post that he made in which he talks about how he can't support Donald Trump, and that he thinks that at least Hillary will be able to be fought against if she gets in.
First off he didn't say anything in that post that he hasn't been saying consistently for months. He also has continued to specifically say that he cannot and will not vote for Hillary. I keep seeing quotes of him saying that "voting for Hillary is a moral, ethical choice". Again, completely NOT what he said. He said that not supporting Trump was a moral, ethical choice.
No matter what your feelings are towards Beck, it's completely awful for news outlets to print flat-out lies like this. Especially given that his fanbase is mostly extreme anti-Hillary people; who are immediately believing the headlines without reading the real story; and thus are discontinuing their support for Beck.
