Unfortunately Beck has a platform (or pulpit in this case) where he stands up and gives opinions which he is paid very well for. The message itself I agree with him 25% probably, maybe less. How he delievers that message I disagree with 100% of the time with his bullsh*t theatrics, crying, yelling, insults, lying, twisting of facts and stats, and most of all inconsistencies and hypocracies. Beck knows this type of bullsh*t, TMZ-like, pro wrestling acts sells...extremes. Sh*t I know papa bear probably grown a little jealous. Dude knows he gonna be hated and he loves it. Adds to that persona...you see how happy he was to let people know he wore a bullet proof vest for his service on Saturday? People need to wake up and see it for what it is...a damn circus

Yeah I understand exactly what you are saying, and you’ve obviously watched his show several times and decided that you didn’t like it for yourself.

I like The Colbert Report, but I can’t stand The Daily Show. I like Beck, I hate O’Riliey. I like Berman, I hate Kornhizer. I like Anheuser, I hate Miller. I completely understand personal taste like/dislikes, but I feel like a lot of people don’t like Beck without ever giving him a shot first and make up their mind from a few clips they saw. I made sure I got piss drunk off of Miller Lites a few times before I made my allegiance with Bud Light. I used to like the Daily Show back when Kilborn was the host but I really cant stand Stewart at all. I think you have to look at the Glen Beck show much like you look at the Daily show. They’re both entrainment.

Well see I dont think you can compare the two...Unless your saying Beck is a comedy show...which then you can and then I agree. Platform and presentation is different.

Now if you want compare to Olberman to Beck that is more true comparison.

As for Colbert...lol...that guy is the man. I watch him religiously..well should I use religiously in this debate when talking about the Cult of Beck? Pun intended? Anyways Daily Show is very good too, but Colbert is presentation of look through the bullsh*t on both sides show is very good and really what the political media needed in this time of extreme polarization between the 2 sides.

As we talk about this, though, it is always important to look at context and forums when any media presenting its news and opinions...because after all its politics. What tics me off are the people who simply agree without thinking. I tend to see and hear this more from the right than the left.

Did you happen to notice the summer weather on the East Coast this year? In many areas it was the hottest summer ever recorded.

Ever.

Take your head out of the sand. Global warming is a scientific fact.

Unfortunately major corporate polluters are spending truckloads of money in an attempt to discredit the science. It's criminal behavior and you shouldn't support it if you have any respect for the environment.

Can not the same be said of the extreme cold weather in the same area last winter?

It wasn't extreme cold.

It was extreme snow and that is also caused by global warming.

Here is an article from Time magazine.

I never said global warming was not happening. By the way the scientist discredited them self. You also act like Gore has not made millions and millions off his BS but the man made global warming people seem to ignore his huge $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ interest in this whole thing.
