Let me throw in my 1.2cents about the Beck issue, and cable news (yes, news) in general. Beck is a showman, shockjock, or whatever cute term someone can come it with for a TV "shock talking head". He sometimes deals with conjecture more than facts. He, like Limbaugh, takes forever to get "to the point". There's this little piece where this was close to that, and could mean this, or does it mean this, and "there you have it". He reminds me of a department director once who always had "one incident" to prove his point, when there were always many more incidents that might not lead that way.
As far as a definite disagreement, it would be more in method than an actual fact, because I just do not spend the time to listen to him. Nor do I spend the time to listen to Obermann or Rachael. They do pretty much the same thing on the other side, just more arrogrant and condescending. And I would put Hannity almost in that group.
I am good with O'Reily most of the time, but he can be full of himself, as they all are. He is better when he does let the quests talk. He started out with the signature "What say you?" and back then he let the guests say, but now he cuts them short.

Definition of conjecture: speculation - a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)
Hmmm… Yes, Glen Beck does that. He makes it obvious that blanks need filling. He requests enlightenment from the opposing point of view.
Glen Beck opposes darkness and haste and lack of forthrightness. He abhors the slight of hand being that has become the modus operandi of our Executive and Legislative branches of government.
Much of Mr. Beck’s commentary is framed as questions. I think that is fair. All that needs to be done to shut him up, is to provide answers. Why does that not happen? All we hear is the chirping of crickets.
Not getting to the point is an effective form of whining. We reinforce this behavior with teenagers.
Mr. Beck IS entertaining… such antics.

The left is VERY critical of Beck ... I agree he is a showman and some things he takes to the extreme ... but both he and FOX, as a result of the WH being so critical, has publically stated that if there is any information that anyone on FOX has broadcast that is not factually accurate, then they want to know and they will issue a public apology.
Errors do happen ... but guess what the WH response has been ...
S I L E N C E !!!!!!!!!!
That is because it is ALL true ... the WH just does not like it being said and being brought to peoples attention. They don't like news that does not worship the Messiah and agree with his socialist agenda and distructive views of this country.
