Fair and balanced...we report, you decide.
Beck has changed, for whatever reason(s). I no longer turn on his show as a result. At one time, I believe he was a true patriot. Now, he’s more like an O’Reilly-style opportunist.
It's impossible to reconcile things that Beck says from minute to minute
O'Reilly is also being influenced by Beck. The other night, the Bloviator started using the word "Progressive" for "Liberal" as does Glenn.
Liberals LOVE being called "Progressives".
I hope Beck shakes BOR ASAP and becomes his own man. At the moment, they're mutually using each other. I'm getting sick of their Abbot and Costello giggle-fest routines on the Factor.

I tuned in to the Special Report episode in question ...before the panel came on, Fox News set the table with a negative profile segment on Wilders.
After that panel finished the hit job on Wilders I was stunned and livid...Wilders essentially was echoing the great Winston Churchill, and for that Wilders was journalistically decapitated.
What Fox did was beneath contempt. They flushed their credibility away in a ten minute span. Fox News has, by it’s own choosing, become corrupted by Arab influences.
What a joke.
I repeat:
FoxNews is still MEDIA, whether you listen to the excitable Beck or the droll O’Reilly or the smooth Hannity.
IT’S STILL ALL ABOUT RATINGS.
Who owns FoxNews? Huh? Rich Media Mogul and a Saudi ‘prince.’
And someone’s sure to say “Fair and Balanced.”
Yeah, Right.
That’s why I sincerely hope the GOP would replace Mikey Steele [maybe Fox will give him a job], with Sarah Palin [who could pull the GOP into great shape for the 20-10 elections].
Wilders should be a hero to everybody on the right. This is a man who literally puts his life on the line for his beliefs. He has gotten hundreds of death threats from radical Muslims and has to live under the constant surveillance of several bodyguards. Because he speaks out against radical Islam, he practically lives like a prisoner and there is a real possibility that he will be assassinated like Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh (assassinations seem to be part of the normal political discourse in Holland...).
By European standards he is a very good conservative. For the most part, he supports smaller government, less taxes, less EU control, more democracy, cracking down on crime, etc. He’s also one of the biggest supporters of Israel in Europe. Does this sound like a fascist? To me he sounds like a conservative patriot risking his life to save Western Civilization. Although I don’t agree with everything he says, I think that his rejection of political correctness is refreshing—even if it does infuriate a lot of people who apparently don’t believe in free speech.
I think Beck got his right-wing Frenchmen wrong. He probably meant to say Le Pen rather than Villepin. The latter was Chirac’s prime minister. The former is the head of France’s Front National Party.
