Beck has no reason to lie, and I for one, don’t believe he’d make up a story to get ratings. I personally, tend to believe what Beck says, over this government, any day, any time. Also, he did not say “Obama called me”....he said “someone from the White House called me”. Big difference.
I find Beck’s show very interesting and educational, albeit sometimes repetitive. But he’s at least getting the TRUTH out there and quite frankly reminding many of our history and our rights. Something no one else is doing, even Rush. And although he may not have every fact right, he at least, has the balls to admit it when he doesn’t. AND, he’s more in line with what is truly happening than Rush, IMO. Rush gives his opinion of the news, but as far as I can deem, doesn’t give the history and civil rights lessons behind it.
And by the way, if Beck was just saying stuff or making stuff up for ratings, then why encourage others to call him on it? Why encourage the White House to call him on it?
The answer to every question you asked is the same: “ratings”. I appreciate what Beck is doing, and he is indeed doing us a service fighting the Obama administration in the media arena, but don’t ever fool yourself that you’re getting the truth from him.
