Well Glenn Beck was a stand up comedian prior to his tenure with Fox News, and we all know that Fox News is not only bias, but that Glenn habitually exaggerates and even lies on air for ratings, so when he speaks I tend to mumble bull$hit and walk off...
I don't like him. He's not on late enough for me to bother. I've never watched his show, though he does come on the O'Reily Factor on occasion. He's funny, but a little bit too cynical to be taken 100% seriously.
I could swear I'm the only one who doesn't think he's batshit crazy though sometime. >.>
Anyways, like I say he's a bit too cynical, and takes his job like a joke. It's funny to watch him though sometimes.
Also, don't forget something, and this goes for all of these types of shows across all networks: They aren't news broadcasters, their job is not to tell the whole truth. They are analysts, and analyze it with their own view. Telling the truth is something that was said NOT to do in their job description. Telling the truth is boring. Ever wondered why they have the highest ratings in their timeslot?
It's entertaining. Most of what they bring up is fact, just with a slight (or extreme, depending on who) liberal or conservative twist. It's really who entertains you the most is who you keep watching.
Personally, I don't like any of them but O'Reily. He seems to be the least biased, and tend to bring in less way right people. He brings in a lot of people. The next two aren't like that most of the time.
O'Reilly isn't bad. The thing is that so many of these pundits are just BSing their way through the stories to get the most sympathy for the headlines they can based on their typical viewer demographic. Honestly I think most of them are fake pundits like Colbert. He is hilarious, but he does give you accurate news stories. That's basically what Glenn Beck is doing, only he does it with a facade of sincerity, which I find distasteful. This is why I don't get my news from the TV, I research as many unbiased sources on a subject as I can before I accept a story.
