Have you ever tried getting your news from a source that isn't blatantly biased?

Glenn is a psycho who, in my opinion, has why too much power and popularity. Somehow, the crazy guy on the street corner got into Fox and has spent a lot of time making outlandish claims. And I love him for it. However, he won't last long if a conservative got power. I'm sure most of his public is like me. We love to hate the guy.

All news is biased. The trick is to see thru the bias. Thats why I look at Fox, CNN, MSNBC, Young Turks, and various other news blogs.

So you feel that there is a news source that isn't biased? They only way to get even close to the facts in anything is to go there yourself, be it yourself, live it, eat it, whatever it takes. Even then, you'll never know all the facts.
Trusting someone else to spoon feed you facts over the TV or internet, and believe that there is no spin at all, is actually being crazier then Glenn Beck.
You could say there are no truths, only one's perspective.
Think of these sayings:
"If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?" This questions truth.
"History is written by the victors." This shows that truth is malleable.
I would never assume the truth of any persons statement, include mine. The truth should be discovered, not given.

You know . . . how hard would it be for you to get yourself a twitter account?
People aren't allowed to voice their opinions concerning "news" reporters on wowhead!
Queggy made the comment not because of the subject of Elaus's thread, but the number of one liner threads that Elaus makes. He's treating randomness like twitter.
Although, I have to say that this thread has potential, because Glen Beck has made himself into a very controversial charachter.

NO... ...SUCH... ...THING!
edit: though it looks like you're already being hammered on this by the other posters here...
edit edit: I thought Glen worked for CNN. After a glance at wiki I find that he did, and he now works at Fox. Since he worked on both sides of the aisle, let's not start blaming one channel.

Ironic title considering the author...I think its about his internal monologue.
Beck is a genius. He takes opinion and lies, whips his base up into a frenzy and sets them off to damage the world around him. His followers, much like those of Rush Limbaugh, hang on his every work and repeat it back like parrots. Ironically they frequently refer to people who question The Beck as sheep (ironically implying that they are blindly following someone else opinions). I always laughed as Limbaugh listeners who refer to themselves as Dittoheads...seems like an insult to me.
Personally the best way (IMO) to get your news is to check a wide variety of sources. Take all the stories and put them in the blender. You have a close approximation of hte truth.
Fox is more openly biased than most.
Dog *!@# blended with Pig &*!@... is still pretty much %^&*.

Asiiiiiiiiiiiiiide from that, I have previously done reseach and found the guy. Well,i think he is our everyday bat^&*! crazy guy. Here we would propably make funny videos of him rapping, in USA obviously you consider the possibility of him being serious......oh well
Because he
is
serious. Thing is, most people nowadays think the proper way of disagreeing with someone is to ridicule them.

Was wondering when you'd wade into this :P
I don't ridicule, say, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, or Hannity. But, I still ridicule Glenn Beck. Why? He's ridiculous. At least the aforementioned talking heads use facts to back up their arguments and views, rather than pure speculation and conspiracy theories.
Yes, disagreement in America has been expressed recently by ridiculing the person you disagree with. Glenn Beck is far from innocent in this regard. Granted, everyone is, but he's especially bad about it.
*giggle* *giggle* he isn't using facts *giggle*
Well, neither did you just now...
You just illustrated my point.
