Most "real" other news stations were head over heels for the greatest demagogue in recent history. They got him elected.

Prove it.

You make a lot of sweeping statements. If there's any substance to them, you won't have any trouble backing them up with facts rather than opinion.

Try this on for size.

Last I tuned in, it was the Natalie Halloway Channel.

Has this changed?

Apparently you don't even know the definition of demagogue.

Apparently you can't back up your assertions with anything other than your opinion.

Okay Einstein:

Apparently you give Beck more power and influence than Obama otherwise you'd know that greatest means:

Quote:

1.not to be surpassed.
2.largest in size of those under consideration.
3.most of.
4.highest in importance or degree or significance or achievement; most eminent; as, our greatest statesmen.
5.highest in quality.

Maybe you remember but probably not:

"You're racist"
"Bush did it"
"Inherited"
"free health-care"
"share the wealth"
"Hope"
"Change"
"US Troops in Afghanistan Must Do More Than Kill Civilians"

Beck makes no arguments against him being opinion based. The president actually tries to act as if he has someone/something other than his own interest, reputation and legacy in mind.
