Reminds me of that Colbert line, "reality has a liberal bias."

Reminds me of that Colbert line, "reality has a liberal bias."Look again, it shows an almost equal amount of democrats and republicans are fox viewers, a more evenly distributed viewership than any of the other networks!

"However, it should be noted that there are more Democrats than independents or Republicans in the general public. In the 2008 news consumption survey on which this analysis is based, 36% identified as Democrats, 29% as independents and 25% as Republicans."
Besides, those who are truly neutral favor MSNBC more than any other. Does that really mean MSNBC is the most unbiased? - 90

#1 Ralph says he was quite popular during the first year or two.

You guys really don't remember the controversy regarding his first election. What did you not hear the shouts of he stole the election, did you not see all those people waving signs? Hellooooo! No he wasn't popular. The election was contentious. His "popularity" happened after September 11. Did you not see the spike up after September 11. DUH, DOH!
Please read your own graph, if you are able to.

No, Glen Beck isn't bad for America, Haven't watched him in a while,and while I may not agree with everything he says, he's a great entertainer, and if he gets a little "out there" once in a while , use your own good sense to sort the chaff from the wheat.

He's a college drop-out and former alcoholic. I hear he's on the short list for Sarah Palin's cabinet when she and Rush are elected in 2012.

Did anybody ever tell you that a sense of humor isn't your strong suit?

Just think of the press copy if he takes over the press sectretary job. Get out the tissues.
Assuming he pays his taxes, I would say "good".

Texan- MOST of us have watched Beck. You know, unlike you- MOST people do make educated decisions based off the facts.
Texan i like the way you think.
To:
The other people,
Oh Please! Give me a break! You say you watch him? Well, I would really like to see/hear the episode in wich he claimed to "hate the victims/survivors of 911".
To even sujest such a "ridiculous ,uneducated, false statement", says it all! Most of you have no idea what he stands for. And you obviously have no idea what your talking about.
I would like to defend my opion more, however, I have run out of time.
Damn.

Glenn Beck is good for himself. That's the only person he cares about. He is way too "over the top" to not be a complete caricature. He does what FOX pays him to do, and he does it well.
I don't watch him on TV, so can't comment on that, but actually the little book he wrote on Common Sense something or other (can't remember the title) made a lot of sense to me. In the book is also a reprint of Thomas Paine's Common Sense
He is not an idiot. I won't put that on him. He is a very smart man. I have tried to watch him because my uncle loves him. He comes across as insincere. He also made a comment about "hating" the families of the 9/11 victims. I can't get past that.
You need to do a fact check on the "hating" 9/11 victims part of your comment. I think you will find that is not exactly what was said.

Palin-Beck Ticket? Sarah Doesn't Rule it Out
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 8:36 PM
By: David A. Patten
It's no secret that former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Fox News host Glenn Beck share great respect and admiration — so their fans can be forgiven for wondering: Is a "dream ticket" of Palin-Beck ticket completely out of the question?
Perhaps not.
Palin initially chuckled when Newsmax broached the idea. But then she had some serious words of praise for the popular Fox personality.
"I can envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really even seriously consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there yet," Palin tells Newsmax. "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his message across in such a clever way. And he's so bold — I have to respect that. He calls it like he sees it, and he's very, very, very effective." - Robert Dente

Just what America needs now -- playing the sideshow game of who's-more-irresponsiblly provocative?. Palin & Beck can become the GOP's new go-to tag team for haters and opportunists, helping befuddle the imbecilic dupes who'll vote them back into power. Yeah, that's the ticket!!!
Who dragged out this old canard again?
