Love him or hate him, he is the most honest person in media.

No one who bashes him ever debates whether he is right or wrong. They bash him personally.

Take the airport scanners for instance. Beck connected the dots and found that soros owned 11,300 shares in the company, which he sold 2 days before Beck went public.

He also found that Chertoff's (a former republican homeland security director) has a huge interest in the company.

Beck is the best at what he does, which is doing the job that the rest of the media should be doing.

Beck is not researching these things and finding them out.

His team is.

Beck is just the personality who delivers the information.

You seriously think the Beck is doing all that stuff single handedly? Yeah right, he is working with lots of people.

My problem with Beck is that he perpetuates political ignorance. People turn to him because they don't just want news, they also want someone to tell them how to feel about the news.

I havn't watched too much of him. But I do agree with some things he has said. But some things he's said are WAY off in my opinion. Either way, most people blindly follow his words.

I prefer dry facts. Not some guy yelling and inserting drama and emotion into it. I can think for myself and interpret the news myself, I don't need someone else to do that for me.

Maybe then you should watch Hardball or that other idiot Olberdouche.

Oh. So a bunch of people got together with information and said "Hey, Glenn, we need you to put this out there".

Of course you haven't watched him.

If you had, you would know that he tell people EVERY DAY not to take his word for anything.

Research it yourself.

But that goes against the talking points about him.

I'm not just talking about Beck, I'm talking about EVERY political pundit.

They all have a team working behind them. This is a fact.

If you can't see the showbiz side of Glenn Beck then i'm not gonna try to convince you. Learn about how TV shows are created and how they operate. Especially monologue or interview shows like Beck's.

You seem like you're just looking at the surface.

You sound like you are passionately defending Beck. I think Beck has gotten in your head. Try to remain objective.....

The less ideas we have, the more we believe in them.

And the majority of Glenn Beck minions are old, white, brainwashed conservatives who grew
up in the 40's through the 60's and wish they could go back in time...
