Glenn speaks from the heart/gut and he doesn't ask you to take everything he says as gospel. However, don't you agree w/the mess that Obama is putting us in.

It wouldn't be my first choice of reading material, but just because the story is "reported" (quotes intentional) by the Huffington Post doesn't necessarily make it worthless. This kind of attitude is exactly why we waste so much time arguing over who is right. George Washington predicted the two-party system would be the downfall of this country. I contend that Pelosi, HRC, and BHO will be the downfall of this country, but you see my point.

That said, this was the first time I've ever read a Huffington Post article.

As for the validity of a HuffPo article, if you read the same story enough times from different sources you'll get a fairly neutral take on the situation.

FoxNews, NYTimes, CNN, HuffPo all generally report about the same version of each story. Each of those sources will have their own "research" pieces that spin some facts to look a certain way, but over all...MSM sucks.

Beck is at it again!!!! Must see video!!!!

Oh man. Beck, that radical right wing extremist, is at it again.

You've got to see this one!

If you can't stand to watch him, just minimize it and listen. It's a hoot!

FoxNews-The One Thing:7/28 No one took Barack Obama at his word

It isnt that the foundation of his talking points is extreme, it's the way he brings them up. States rights...OK good. There are only two states in the union that are real states...OK a little nutty.

As for that video, again, great talking points. This wasnt one of Beck's crazy moments (like the time he cried, or whatever).

edit: That video also shows why it is important to read a single story from many different sources. Read FoxNews.com, CNN, NYTimes, Bloomberg, Zogby, Townhall, HuffPo, NRO, etc. Read EVERYTHING, otherwise you will be brainwashed by whichever source.

Wouldn't you want to somebody crying over the destruction of our country, rather than cheering (ie., stupid libs)?

I love how all these Brain dead obamabots think that Fox news is evil and that they are only watched by the guns and religion groups, I think it is funny becuase FoxNews and all of their programs blow the living hell out of all the other networks when it comes to ratings....

blam.

I think Fox news beats the **** out of everyone with their rating is because they have shows like Family Guy, the Simpson's, American Idol, etc.

Your missing it dude...Fox News, the channel, is viewed more than all the other nation news channels. Sitcoms have nothing to do with it.

You said Fox News and all their programs were better, but yeah you're right. Fox news does have the highest rating by a large margin. I think the reason that is because they are the only news organization that takes a conservative stance towards current events, while everyone else is a different flavor of liberal news.

Hmmmm. I wonder why that is? Could it be because more conservatives watch cable news than liberals? I don't know if I'd buy that one. I'm conservative and I don't watch FoxNews. We don't even get it on our TV. We don't have any of the cable news stations.

Why would FoxNews have the most viewers when there is a majority of progressives in this country? Could it be that FoxNews isn't what people say that it is, a right wing shill? Maybe they appeal to average American people?

Is there a news story that gives different information, or more insight than Becks monologue? Care to share?
