Neo-Con Glenn Beck's future doesn't look so bright
Mag-X:
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try bullshitting everyone into believing that they're neutral and just reporting the facts. They can say whatever they want, but they need to be honest about leaning so far to the right that they have a stack of bibles keeping them from falling over.
When I watch The Daily Show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and Real Time With Bill Maher I'm fully aware, and they admit, that it's a liberal echo chamber.

Maher and Stewart aren't echo chambers. They both have many conservative guests.
In fact: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2009/08/why_conservative_pundits_love.html
--- Quote ---What's more, Stewart seems to like hosting conservatives (Comedy Central did not reply to requests for comment). In recent weeks, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, and Bill Kristol have stopped by. Since the beginning of the Obama administration, Stewart has interviewed more conservative pundits than liberal ones.

I'm aware of that. That doesn't mean that they aren't obviously liberals who's shows favor liberals, and are watched almost entirely by liberals.

I wouldn't consider the daily show & real time ... real news. It's an entertainment format. When the host is a comedian - not good.
Keith Olbermann - is different, he's a journalist at least.

Political extremes work both ways.
Hitler was a an ultra-right. Stalin was an ultra-left.
( Only difference, is the ultra-leftist killed more people and took less flak. I guess he was more "kill savvy" than the right-winger - you know, don't discriminate when going around killing people - every slaughtered person is equal ... o.O )

They're more of a news source than Beck.
