Why, I don't usually see author titles on blog posts? In fact, none of the front page links have author names right now.

Yeah that's confused me too. I don't understand why, other than advertising, I suppose

In this case, it's better off without the name in the headline. Many people would probably assume that anything by Glenn Beck would be far-right nonsense (sorry, I would, even if you wouldn't) but it seems to me that it's actually an honest and fair report. I thought he made some good points.

#7Glen Beck is Crab in the Cab crazy. He is a source of endless amusement. It gets bad because of the uncanny valley of "is he serious if he is not satire then.. I am I supposed to be feeling sorry for him.." depression sets in.

It blew me away since I read the whole thing and then got to the bottom to see who wrote it.

#10I'm a Republican. Been working in or for valley companies since 1998. Engineering then business. The last five years I've felt my views become increasingly marginalized. The left in the valley has become increasingly vocal, from the c-suite down, and I've been reluctant to express my views for fear of retaliation (See Mozilla's ex-CEO.)
The valley isn't a place focused on the innovation and free thinking that gave it a rep as libertarian. It's focused on money and power at an international level and it's found the left worldwide as the most amenable to that path.
Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Benioff, Tim Cook... These are the narcissistic, self-righteous, power-obsessed business leaders from almost every dystopian novel or movie the last 100 years - and they are creating the very technology to give themselves real, orwellian, big-brother control, hand-in-hand with governments.
I fear my future, my children's, and their grand-children.
