And yes, it was in every media outlet since it was indeed a campaign year and everything was on TV. So, Beck exaggerates the news about him 'exposing' ACORN. In fact he had absolutely nothing to do with it.

But there are also little known facts which have been omitted by Beck and Mccain, such as the fact that McCain attended ACORN rallys himself in 2006.
Yeah I remember this last year when Republicans were accusing ACORN of registering a bunch of imaginary voters. The Republicans were saying that ACORN was trying to skew the election Obama's way. Somebody even said that ACORN registered Mickey Mouse to vote.

Beck is an entertainer. To understand him, you have to have the full context, not spoon-fed bites that serve only to please the ideological ear.
I've watched Beck for extended times - numerous episodes. I still laugh at him and the absurd conclusions he draws and pushes on a predominantly undereducated audience looking to have their emotions of fear and insecurity justified.

Actually, it's in the sound-bites that he sounds almost credible. It's in the larger context that you realize the absurdity of his assertions.

A child at heart he is.

Why should he call them out?? They agree with each other!! And when they do Oreilly's show together they debate the stuff they may not agree on! Does Olbermann ever have a debate? NO! Just his silly monologue!!

That you compare a journalist with entertainers is not a feather in your cap.

And Joe is a republican shill, regardless of what people who don't watch him think.
