I was getting ready to accept all of this story and all of a sudden on page 3 of it the words Media Matters showed up and that kind of turned me off. I know the kind of lies they tell so I started reading with a bit of trepidation after that. Sorry but when your source of information about Beck shows up in anything I start to worry about it all.

For someone who hates MM you sure advertise for it quite a bit. They thank you.
I am not here to defend Glenn Beck. I am here to point out that ABC's recent hatchet job on Glenn Beck is disturbing. Is this what passes for journalism in these days?
However, Brian Ross was clearly not objective during the 8-minute-34-second segment (on a main stream media outlet).*Roughly 2 minutes into the segment Ross states, "Goldline and another Santa Monica-based company are under investigation after more than 100 complaints from around the country."*
Ross never mentioned the name of the other company during the entire segment. The first question that popped into my head was, "Why?" Then I asked, How many of the 100-plus complaints were from customers of Goldline? Then I wondered, How many were from customers of the unnamed company? I kept waiting for the answers, but they never came. An honest reporter would have told us.
An honest reporter would have asked Santa Monica city attorney*Adam Radinsky (who they featured in the segment) those questions.*Instead, Ross relied on*U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat (and self-proclaimed Glenn Beck hater) to state,*"There is an unholy alliance, I call it, between the commentators on Fox News and Fox News' advertising policies to sell ads to these guys,". Why is Weiner singling out Goldline and Fox News? Why did he not mention the other company?
After the ABC report was aired, the Better Business Bureau*(BBB)*reviewed Goldline's "A+" rating and found no reason to change it. Why? Because Goldline had 40 camplaints filed with the Better Business Bureau over a three-year period and resolved those complaints to the satisfaction of the customers and the BBB.)
The company not mentioned on air in the smear campaign by Ross and Weiner is Superior Gold Group. They have an "F" rating from the BBB. Superior Gold Group had 46 complaints during the same 36 month period -- 25 of which have gone unanswered.
Why is Weiner opening a Congressional investigation into Goldline while excluding Superior Gold Group and other companies that sell gold, such as ITM Trading, hawked regularly by liberal talk show hosts Ed Schultz, Rhandi Rhodes, and Stephanie Miller?
There is clearly an agenda in place.
You can hate Glenn Beck all you want, but when there is an obvious agenda to silence free speech, you should be on the side of the person whose speech they are trying to silence, if for no other reason than it might be your speech they want to silence next.
Now, sir, I have to say that you have been doing some serious thinking that seldom takes place around here especially where Glenn Beck is concerned. Your thinking and well written post got you at least one rep on your first post here. That post earned at least 20 to 50 of them but this thread is full of progressives who don't reason at all like you.
I have a feeling that many of Goldline's victims are people on fixed incomes who have been scared about the economy and don't have the know how to protect themselves.
Goldline mostly advertises on the right wing media stations like Fox News and Fox's average viewer is 62 years of age. Basically, we're talking about old folks who are either retired or close to retirement who on average having "some college" but no degree. GoldLine then suckers them into buying gold coins at highly inflated prices when they could buy the same gold coins at the local coin shop for 1/3rd off. Buyer beware is always good but there are also claims that people say they want to buy gold bullion yet mysteriously GoldLine ships them those highly inflated gold coins instead and then refuses to take the gold coins back even though the people never ordered coins and instead ordered bullion. That's classic fraud.
When Goldline is found to have done something wrong in the court of law then the whining haters of Glen Beck can then waste valuable memory.
Until then, continue to hate Glen Beck and go after anything the man does.
Until he or they are found guilty of wrongdoings, your credibility is ZERO on this issue.
We all know why you are going after goldline, it is because Beck has kicked Obamas butt so many times and taken down his personal friends the two commis in Dunn and Jones.
Get used to Beck, he is eating Obama alive every single day.
Hate mongering left winger radicals are scared to death of Beck exposing their leader Obamadung for all his illegal ways.
Clearly, none of the above have listened to his advertisements for "Gold Line.
None of You!
