It depends on who their audience is. To their current audience, YES.

No, I don't think that only left-leaning news stations are credible. Many in my opinion are not.

Ultimately, people gravitate to the information providers that they are most comfortable with.

Hope this clears up any misunderstanding.

I guess that's a pretty good answer. Thanks for agreeing that not only left-leaning news stations are credible.

I don't really watch beck regularly, but I have seen some of the shows where he did say the above stupidities

Most of you agree that FAUX programing is against the present adminstration, which is creating a rift in this country. Many of you Faux followers don't realize that it is majority owned by an Austrialian! A NON AMERICAN! How can you be lead by by an aussie against your own country and still claim to be Patriotic! Again this makes me wonder about his motives to further divide this country.

Once again I agree with what you say until you throw this in:

Sounds like you've had a little to much Koolaid.

Fox News host Glenn Beck has:

• said President Obama has, "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture;"

Liberals accuse me of being racist simply because I didn't vote for Obama. How is what Beck said any worse.

• flirted with the idea that FEMA is building detention camps;

A total lie. Unless if by flirted you mean debunked

.

• suggested that President Obama is purposefully "tanking" the economy to force young people to work for AmeriCorps;

I don't know about the Americorps part but Liberals claimed Bush caused the economy to tank because he was incompetant. Obama has made it worse. If its not intentional then what is it? Incompetance maybe?

.

• said that Obama is "moving us away from our republic and into a system of fascism;"
• stated: "We are a country that is headed towards socialism, totalitarianism, beyond your wildest imagination;"
• says Obama "Wants you to work as a bureaucratic slave to government;"

Government take over of private corporations, attacks on freedom of the press, a civilian army controlled by the president, csars that answer to no one, etc....What would you call that? It sure as hell ain't a Republic

.

• said: "President Obama, why don't you just set us on fire? For the love of Pete, what are you doing? Do you not hear --- do you not hear the cries of people who are saying stop? We would like some sanity in our country for a second! We didn't vote to lose the republic;"

Ahmen. Read that one again. I think you actually agree

.

• ran several segments, including one on his radio show, promoting the concept of the secession of Texas from the Union;

He didn't promote anything. He talked about what some people want and why. You mentioned fascism. Does that mean you promote fascism?

.

• promotes "one world government" paranoia, including a supposed plot to put us all on a global currency controlled by the New World Order

Once again you say he "promotes". He doesn't promote it he talks about it. Its a fact many people want a Global currency. You can't even dispute that

.

• warned his audience about Obama's supposed secret plot to grab our guns;

Wait

.

• speculated that it is actually liberal "political correctness" that inspires right-wingers to go on murderous killing rampages...

I highly doubt he said that considering he disputes the idea that it's right-wingers go on killing rampages at all.

Non of those quotes are worrisome anyway.

Liberals were all bent out of shape about Bush being a fascist and destroying the country. Obama has kept nearly all Bush policies in place and one upped him on some of the worst ones. So why is it exactly that when Bush does it its fascism but when Obama does the exact same things its not?
