It’s amazing how all these cross over personalities that have radio and TV shows are either better at one or the other.

Hannity is better on radio.
O’Reilly is better on TV.
Beck is better on TV.
Rush was equally good on both.

Maybe I think Beck is so much better on TV because he his educational approach and reporting of facts sometimes require something simple like a dry erase board, which he uses extremely well. I just wish there were more like him for the simple reason if they get him off the air by any method there is no one to pick up the pieces.

Right now there’s exactly one person doing the work he is. Given his ratings bonanza you would think that SOMEONE would try and out Beck Beck. Yet all we get are more Kool Aid drinker reports.

You’d think money would motivate ONE more reporter or ONE more newspaper or TV network. The road map is there yet no one will follow it.

That alone tells you how far gone the reporting profession is in this country. Beck doesn’t have to compete for scoops against any other person or out let simply because no one in the profession even wants to ask the questions that are so painfully obvious.

It's not that they don't "want" to ask the questions, it's that they REFUSE to ask the questions, and we, in turn, refuse to watch them.

Beck is running a gauntlet today, that yesteryear, was simply investigative reporting. Not only is most of the MSM now a lobbying sector for the left, but most who aren’t, act if they are trapped in a minefield with only a bayonet to poke around with.

He’s a spearhead right now. Perhaps others will find the courage to follow in the wake.

To teach, at least 1/2 of the voting "stuck on stupid" morons, what is at stake when electing a "hopey-changey-feel good" clown to the highest office of the USofA, without checking the hard facts.
