Glenn Beck would be fine if people understood what Glenn Beck is.
Beck-and pretty much anyone on any of the 24 hour news networks-is an entertainer. Think Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Yes, they report real news. Yes, some of the reporting is even insightful. But it's entertainment. A show. It has a bias, which is why I crack up every time I see Fox's "Fair and Balanced" logo. They're every bit as 'fair and balanced' as MSNBC is.
So you know, watch Beck. Like him. But don't pretend he's something he's not.
