Let me throw in my 1.2cents about the Beck issue, and cable news (yes, news) in general. Beck is a showman, shockjock, or whatever cute term someone can come it with for a TV "shock talking head". He sometimes deals with conjecture more than facts. He, like Limbaugh, takes forever to get "to the point". There's this little piece where this was close to that, and could mean this, or does it mean this, and "there you have it". He reminds me of a department director once who always had "one incident" to prove his point, when there were always many more incidents that might not lead that way.

As far as a definite disagreement, it would be more in method than an actual fact, because I just do not spend the time to listen to him. Nor do I spend the time to listen to Obermann or Rachael. They do pretty much the same thing on the other side, just more arrogrant and condescending. And I would put Hannity almost in that group.

I am good with O'Reily most of the time, but he can be full of himself, as they all are. He is better when he does let the quests talk. He started out with the signature "What say you?" and back then he let the guests say, but now he cuts them short.
