You can critisize the man Glen Beck all you want but is he lying about what they have reported here?...Does government have too much power now over your life?

As rlchurch pointed out with his link, the answer is yes Beck was lying.

It's not false but instead misrepresentation, the page and EULA he was referencing was for dealers.

No Smash, you are lying.

Even snoopes says:

"In short, there was once a poorly worded privacy statement on the cars.gov site... which has since been changed"

So basically, in your logical reasoning, Beck called out the cars.gov website as applying a privacy statement which seemed over the top (they did). He then criticized it and called it a violation of federal power (he did). The government then revised the privacy statement to apply only to dealers and reworded it to address poorly worded sections (they did). This OP calls out Becks initial reaction to the situation... and you say:

"...beck was lying."

No, Beck wasn't lying. The situation has been resolved since it was originally reported, and the fact that the government went back in and revised the statement just proves that Beck was RIGHT.

Sad that your inability to be objective makes you ignorant to the situation with your blind partisan hacking.

At the top of the page Snopes label the Beck piece as FALSE What part of that is difficult for you to understand?

Beck haters are so blinded they missed the fact that he clearly said that the DEALER goes to this link not the consumer. Are you guys that stupid? I now have doubts about snopes.com now. How could they have missed that small fact.

Did you also miss the fact that Beck said "now the dealer logs on to"?
