Beck does go over the top sometimes in my opinion, but he doesn’t intentionally lie and decieve like Olbermann does and most of the evidence he presents is factual ...

Here's another post ... he doesn't intentionally lie? So he just lies by mistake? And most of the evidence he presents is factual? These comments are odd, taking the rest of your post in context.

“he doesn’t intentionally lie? So he just lies by mistake?”

The point is that he is very passionate and occasionally that passion manifests itself in exaggeration, which I would not characterize as lying. I have seen a few times where even his guests will correct Beck when Beck deems a particular conclusion having been proven by evidence when such evidence doesn’t really get you all the way there. When this happens, I have seen Beck gracefully agree or do futher research to prove his point.

And when this happens, it is my view that Beck never does it intentionally to deceive. Hell, I do the same thing sometimes- jump to conclusions not necessarily justified by the evidence. Olbermann on the other hand, intentionally LIES in order to influence people to come to conclusions he KNOWS are not true. Check out Olbermann’s video on FISA, where he calls Bush a fascist lying terrorist.

The world in not black and white.
