highlighting the need for better artistic discussions in the media

(On a topically-unrelated note:)

Glenn Beck butchers not only history, but art history as well. Diego Rivera's controversial mural Man at the Crossroads, commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller, hasn't even existed at 30 Rock (or in the United States, for that matter) for 75 years, and yet it is somehow identified as a "propaganda tool used by modern progressives." Rockefeller, incorrectly identified by Beck as a "progressive," chose Rivera for primarily stylistic reasons, and their disagreements about Rivera's pro-Communist content caused the dismissal of the artist and the eventual destruction of the work. Beck uses as his reference for discussing Man at the Crossroads footage of Man, Controller of the Universe, a mural inspired by the destroyed original, painted by Rivera and located at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
