Are there not liberal 24-hour news programs? Considering we have a little thing called the "intraweb", do you really think it's necessary, or even plausible, to have a news network that pumps out news every second of the day? What are you going to fill the voids with? Crap? Oh wait, yes, that's exactly what they fill most of the day with: crap. Pundits and opinions. Who needs it? Not me. I can form my own opinions without some guy on T.V. reading talking points to me.

I guess that's partisan, though? If so, it's good to be liberal.

Political opinion is fine. A news network that touts itself as the fairest in a ploy for ratings and panders to the right well.. viomalates jurnalistic integritty.
 
I get annoyed with anyone with boundless energy. They make me nervous. I have no idea if I agree with Beck or not. I have to change the channel. Are we sure this is not a decision he made himself? Aren't his ratings high?
 
Glenn Beck took on George Soros and it appears that Soros won.

So far, we live in a free country. You are free not to watch a 24 hr news cycle. I'm free not to watch The Wendy Williams Show, What not to Wear. or Access Hollywood.

Are you fine with how MSNBC and CNN panders to the left for ratings and tries to influence elections? Did you call for CNN to be taken off the air for not being fair during the 2008 (Obama can do no wrong) election.




CNN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a joint study by the Joan Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University and the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the authors found disparate treatment by the three major cable channels of Republican and Democratic candidates during the earliest five months of presidential primaries in 2007: "The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates—by a margin of three-to-one. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative while just 14% were positive and 46% were neutral. The network provided negative coverage of all three main candidates with McCain fairing the worst (63% negative) and Romney fairing a little better than the others only because a majority of his coverage was neutral. It's not that Democrats, other than Obama, fared well on CNN either. Nearly half of the Illinois Senator's stories were positive (46%), vs. just 8% that were negative. But both Clinton and Edwards ended up with more negative than positive coverage overall. So while coverage for Democrats overall was a bit more positive than negative, that was almost all due to extremely favorable coverage for Obama." [44]

So you think people enjoy watching political pundits, left or right, because they can't form their own opinions without them. That's arrogant.
I enjoy watching/ listening to conservatives because they are more like me. They didn't make me who I am. I watch just as many liberals, yet they've never "formed" my opinions for me. I still think they are wrong about almost everything. :)

It probably was his idea. He bounces from one project to another. Well, no that's wrong too. He always has several going at one time. His "boundless energy" is the ADD he's got going on. I've had the feeling for a while that he was ready to move on to a new venture. However, it looks like that still involves Roger Ailes and Fox.

Hello irony. Perhaps you should be more concerned with the topic at hand rather than your perceptions of my political lean which has absolutely nothing to do with what is being discussed here.

I didn't want to talk about it to begin with. I really don't give a flying **** what you think of me or my political lean. So, now that you've sufficiently jerked off all over this thread with your nonsense, care to get back to the topic at hand?
 
muahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahah.

That is all.

Good debate tactic. Remove a bunch of his words till the meaning changes, and then comment on that changed meaning...and then blame him for not writing clearly. LoLz!

Yea, maybe instead of one hour, here and there exposing Soros, Glenn plans to do a Soros Documentary for Fox. :)

And still 3 hours on the radio everyday with the #3 radio program in America. :)
