And, on Fox News Channel’s Oct. 5 “Glenn Beck” program, Beck addressed that and some of the gripes he had about the media for not doing their job.

I am a dad, and quite frankly, I’m a little pissed off right now. You can call me names. You can make fun of me, whatever. I’m doing what I believe is right. I am doing a job as a private citizen right now.”
