You can listen to anyone you want, of course, but you should just know when something is real and when you’re being jived. There was no phone call, there was no “White House” communication. If watching/listening to Beck is helping affirm a view that you have personally researched and come to, good deal. If you’re GETTING information or beliefs from Beck, that’s a problem, a problem every bit as bad as people who get information and “facts” from Michael Moore.

I'm not a big Glenn Beck fan, maybe catching his show once a week, BUT if he can connect with a whole demographic of people that Rush, Hannity, Levine, Savage, and all the rest have not been able to reach, then by God all the Power to him.

Comparing Beck to Michael Moore? Aside from being insulting, it’s a terrible metaphor.

Do you even watch Beck or are you just here to criticize those who do?

Or worse yet, are you just not paying attention to what is actually happening in the world today? Saying Beck is not speaking truth or informative, leads me to believe the latter.

He never said it was a phone call. He was reading from something in his hand. I thought it was a piece of paper. Looking at the clip that someone was kind enough to post I see now it was a Blackberry. He definitely never said Obama called him. He said he had gotten a response from the White House on the story he just did and that it was outrageous.

<<<<...”if your getting information from Beck... that’s a problem.” >>>>

I was planning to just read through this thread without really engaging today, but this statement begs an important question of which I would respectfully ask your response...

Can you please identify just one example (several would be better if possible) of any “information” that Beck has provided to his audience since he started at Fox News TV that was a “problem” and that we should not consider viable because it was either:

(1) inaccurate, or
(2) misrepresented, or
(3) incorrect, or
(4) misstated, or
(5) not honest or deceitful, or
(6) misquoted, or
(7) illegitimate

I would simply like to be alerted to or notified of such “problem” information, because if getting information from Beck is a “problem” as you explain, then we should know about it so that we can adjust our opinion accordingly.

I look forward to your response...
