Because they keep all the nutballs contained -- allowing me to, for the most part, avoid them. Unless one says something so egregious that other news outlets pick it up. For example:Glenn Beck claims president has ‘a deep-seated hatred for white people’
And here I thought the worst thing about Beck is that he looks like an oversized demonic infant.
Remember the great hue and cry when Kanye West said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" after Katrina? Or when the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed of GWB? Where's the similar outrage about Beck?
I guess it's only unpatriotic to complain about the President in the most inflammatory way when he's a Republican.

ReplyDeleteAlthough Beck and most of the talking heads on the Fox News Channel are jokes, they are dangerous because they love throwing red meat at their core audience members who are looking for an excuse to hate President Obama. The Fox News Channel and other conservative media outlets are hypocrites because they were all over it like you said when Kanye West and Natalie Maines made separate comments about GWB.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the longer the Democrats are in power (esp. with one in the White House), the worse conservative media gets.
