For those of you that watch Glenn, and hell, let's include his buddies Sean and Bill too, do you think they are actual "news" programs, or nothing more than "entertainment"?
A serious news show.
Just for entertainment(just like roller derby or NASCAR).
His show is more suited for Comedy Central.

I have watched Glenn Beck a few times now, and I have to admit there is a good entertainment factor. I have heard Beck claim a few times he is not in the news business, nor a reporter.
I love the picture board effect, where he puts photos up on a board and shows the connections.
all of those shows are "opinion" shows. as such i see nothing wrong with them, just as i'm fine with olbermann and maddow blathering away to an audience of dozens on msnbc. frankly, i wish they would all raise their journalistic standards a bit, but then they would probably not be nearly as entertaining.
what matters most in life is honesty. it's never wrong to do the right thing.
I'm guessing that you've never even watched Rachel Maddow. She's actually broke many Washington scandals in the past two years, and not made up scandals like "Faux News" did to ACORN.Originally Posted by bluffmanxx
keep defending ACORN...and oh, who had to bring up the past radicalism of Van Jones??
all of these shows do some good work, and all fill a necessary function since none can be counted on to be adversarial against both sides. best we can seem to do is to have networks pick sides and be adversarial twords the "other" side.

I will. That video that "Faux News" touted as evidence has been exposed as a complete fake! Have they reported that they were suckered into believing it? NO. They wanted so badly to just report something bad about ACORN that they never "investigated"(something REAL news people would do) to see if the tape was even real.
THIS is why Glenn Beck does what he does...
How Glenn Beck Is On Track For An $18 Million Year
THIS is why Olbermann does what he does...
Olbermann Watch - MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Would the Obama Administration's $500,000 Salary Cap Apply to Keith Olbermann if GE Gets Another Bailout?
Like ALL newscasts...FOX, CNN, MSNBC...any of them, it's simply getting an audience to listen so they can charge high rates for commercials and generate $$$...nothing more, nothing less.
yeah I know...this is a slanted view of ACORN, and they are now out of business thank goodness...but maybe the founder WADE is living the good life with his 2 mil plus he hid away...
EMBEZZLEMENT: ACORN Founder Wade Rathke Embezzled $5 Million from Louisiana ACORN, Subpoena Issued
Are you serious? This is old news, and btw, if you were to shut down every business that ever had someone embezzle from them the entire U.S. would grind to a halt and shut down!
I always thought ACORN was a joke, it may have started out with good intentions, but became as corrupt as wall street in a hurry. If you're in it for the money, at least be like Beck and say so...lol.
