Arguing that people watch O'Reilly and Beck for entertainment is completely absurd. Look at the facts: Both are [i]conservatives[/i]. 40% of the American people identify themselves as [i]conservatives[/i]. Likewise, only 20% of them are liberal. Yep, definitely no coincidence. O'Reilly has smashed other networks for "8 years and counting". To say that the reason they've always won for SO LONG is purely because of entertainment is ridiculous and just plain stupid. Don't you think that America wants to get some [i]news[/i] sometimes? But EVERY NIGHT they just watch for entertainment. That argument is so, so weak. Case in point, angry people at town halls. Fox News routinely exposes bad things about the health care bill. They talk about the disadvantages. They also have Democrats on to argue their side as well. Do you think that they are angry over the bill because of what they watched on MSNBC? No, because if that was the case, they would be praising the bill. Could it be that they read the bill, and are upset with it? Unlikely. You yourself have already eliminated that possibility. Americans aren't idiots that just want "entertainment." We have a form of SELF-government, and it seems to me that it's always worked out well until the liberals step in to push big government agenda. They even call themselves "progressives" now, because being liberal is now frowned upon. People want the truth, and so they watch FOX. Why do you think the New York Times is on the verge of bankruptcy? Why is NBC on the verge of bankruptcy? It may have to do with the Obama action figures they sell. If you can explain those things, then you're "entertainment" argument might become halfway legit. Not likely. By the way, Beck is an OPINION show. It's not supposed to be fair.

There is no network out there that's going to be entirely truthful, ever. Fox News is clearly the lesser of the evils.

The United States has many mistakes in the past, as has ANY country. But the US is still one of the greatest nations in the history of the world, if not THE greatest. I quote Bill O'Reilly when I say "America is a big, loud dog that generally likes to strut it's stuff." And it is, it does, and it can, and so what? America has some great stuff to be strutting, even though we are in a big economic crisis. We have one of the greatest Constitutions ever conceived in the history of the world. It's also the oldest one in the world, withstanding the test of time. We put men on the moon. We've made some of greatest advancements in medical procedures in the world, such as us performing the worlds first open-heart surgery. We've got endless opportunity in America, if you're willing to work hard. Speaking of being willing, the American people never back down from a challenge when the country is in need. We've NEVER even lost a war in our history, except for Vietnam. Getting attacked on 9/11 couldn't even shake us, it only brought us closer together. The list goes on and on. [quote]Most Americans I know are pretty content to be entertained. And they're pretty retarded.[/quote] I'll pray for you. Maybe if you moved to any other nation in the world you would come to appreciate this nation.

I see and hear everything from Fox news lie almost about everything. They would at times say something and admitting something that is true, and then like days, weeks, months, or even years leave it behind and make up something that contradicts to what they said in the past, or they bring up something that is part of the topic and contradicts with the topic. I do not like Glen Beck, only because he tries to make himself look like a good guy, trying to take down Obama, and is also a Mormon. Bill O'Reily acts like he is such a bully, yelling and complaining at people calling then Pinheads. And yet he still says that he's a Judeo-Christian. What the heck? Hannity to me just acts like this mellow, cocky little jerk at times. It really bothers me. [quote]You've already called all conspiracy theorists gay idiots.[/quote] Okay, what I said was wrong. Its just that whatever I say slips out and I always keep on forgetting to love my enemies. But yeah, you may think I myself am a conspiracy theorist, only because I admit that 9/11 is an inside job, and Obama was never born in Hawaii, he was born in Kenya. Now, when did I ever admit that any of those are conspiracy theories? I never once in my life ever believe that what I say on this site are conspiracy theories. Its just that the media and the whole community, and when I say that, I mean those who don't believe in that stuff, calls it a conspiracy. But most of all, its these news medias who calls these things in the government a conspiracy. Like for an example, and I know what I will say might not be the best time to say this for some of you. 9/11 was an inside job. George W. Bush told people not to investigate 9/11 during the same week then the twin towers fell down. It looks like it was demolition controlled. And whenever you bring this up to anyone, in general, you would get attacked. I never experienced it, but I have seen it numerous amount of times. The people who knows a lot about this, who is now involved with politics are Ron Paul, his son (who I really can't remember his name, but he is running for senator), and Jesse Ventura. This may not help, but take my words for it. Investigate all of this. Do the research. I have done it myself, and so has Charlie Sean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlyWoDjsmsk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxGKIF18AUU Like I said, don't take my words for it. Do the research.
