5 min readGlenn Beck on Media Distortion, Historical Blindness, and the Cost of Certainty
The most revealing moment in this episode comes from a Senate candidate's campaign video. Nikaia Jasmine Thomas, a DSA candidate in Oklahoma, posted a clip of herself running into a bedroom, screaming, cutting out a photo, and pasting it into a scrapbook. To anyone over 45, she looks unhinged. But Beck points out she is simply recreating a scene from Mean Girls — and that's the point. Older viewers mock her without recognizing the reference, which only makes younger voters rally around her. "They don't get it," Beck says, "and they'll be laughing with her." He uses this as a lens for the broader media reaction to his own interview with Donald Trump the day before.
