All you say is true, but I think we need remember that these networks are in the entertainment business and are careful not to offend too many viewers.

It seems you like Beck so let me use him for an example. It seems to me that the theme of his message is that the federal government has overstepped its constitutional role in operating unconstitutional welfare programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I believe that's basically the message Beck wants you to believe he's sending.

So, show me a tape of Beck calling for the termination of the Social Security program, or the Medicare program, or the Medicaid program. I don't think he ever actually calls for the termination of those welfare programs, programs he implies and wants you to think he believes are unconstitutional.

Do you think Beck and Fox aren't afraid of offending the Social Security and Medicare recipients in their audience?

I do. No wonder the man is an emotional wreck.

Fox ain't perfect, but it's better than the rest.

I just wrote about the “better than the rest” comment, and to say to lay off them for that reason is not a coherent argument in my opinion.

I tried.

Palin 2012!!
