I don’t watch television news (actually the only TV I watch any more are online episodes of NCIS, but I digress), so I don’t watch Beck.
I do, however, have a colleague who does (interestingly a fellow who’s now on our side, but had been part of the Chicago hard left in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s), and he observes that the White House has devoted a webpage to answering the ‘lies’ and ‘distortions’ from Beck (or maybe it’s Fox News generally), and that the ‘answers’ consist of picking on minor errors of factual detail: there is no answer to the main theses or major factual claims Beck makes. In effect, the Obama administration by claiming to answer his ‘lies’ and only picking on minor details, admits that the main substance of his factual claims are true.
It is ironic how the rest of the media constantly attacks the delivery or style of Beck.
They can’t attack the message.
