To claim that Fox News isn't a legitimate news agency is a bit of a stretch when you consider the fact that CNN ended up having a retired CIA agent literally scold a CNN anchor telling them to stop covering for Obama on national television. 
They aren't legitimate.
If you were familiar with actual history rather than the crap Glenn Beck shoves into your brain, you'd be familiar with yellow journalism and the detriments of it on society and the ignorant.
Well maybe you should take your own advice.
I do...that's why I know the finer points of history rather than the finer points of Glenn Beck's ripoff of Alex Jones' paranoid schizophrenic act.
In all honesty, you really don't know your history.

Take the Charles Schumer scandal you cited in another thread: that's pure genesis of a scandal from the republicans. I thought the tea party were extreme without any outside input and it's not particularly scandalous considering that many of them think Obama is a muslim and think he's not a natural born citizen....those concepts are both pretty damned extreme to any reasonable person and even anyone who explores that conspiracy theory with the slightest bit of intelligence. However, both of those conspiracy theories are endemic to the tea party along with anarchist, theocratic leanings.
Most tea partiers are getting fed up that Obama isn't going to show his birth certificate. I mean how long has this been going on, and there is even an argument now that the item Obama submitted was a forgery. Personally I think he was born in the US. Further, if you actually did some research into this you would know the Birthers was started by Hillary Supporters not teapartiers whom are quite frankly starting to get suspicious after this little "not born in the US" thing has been dragging on for the entire Obama Presidency.
In all honesty, you really haven't impressed me with your researching abilities.

I used to watch Glenn Beck occasionally, back before he went to FOX.
He was a little nutty even back then, but sometimes he made a good point or had an interesting observation.

He is ADHD, and tends to forget his meds, that does not mean he's actually nutty he may just seem that way at times.

I think he's become significantly nuttier over the years.
I'm not sure, however, if he's actually going nuts, or if he's just acting nutty to draw attention.
Either way, he now reminds me of the carnival guy who bites the heads off chickens to draw people into the freak show. There's a job title for that position, but I can't remember it and can't be arsed to look it up....

I actually for a while was wondering if he had lost it, until I did research on my own and came to an even scarier conclusion. That he was accurate.

In large part, Beck is calling things as he sees them, and he's on the money a good part of the time.
He's made enemies with President Obama and with George Soros...Obama's big money supporter. Those two have unleashed their influence to have him pushed off the air, and Beck was letting people know this tactic was underway long before this came to a head.
While everyone else wants the masses to believe all is well, Beck is warning people that things are not going well at all, and people are listening.
He left CNN for Fox because CNN didn't want to listen to him, and his viewership exploded on Fox. Now Fox is being pressured to let him go by big money interests.

He isn't actually leaving Fox News though, he's going to be doing some producing and other projects.

Actually, there is a lot of historical precident that supports what Beck has been saying, you ignore history at your own peril.

Well, I'll risk it. I just don't look good in a tinfoil hat.

He could always write a book, retire to conspiracy.glennbeck.com and tap into the lecture circuit.

He's already a writer of fiction, nonfiction, and even children's books, he already does lectures, and is running two websites.

Methinks the man is burnt out. A change is as good as a vacation.
I hope he is aware of the differences between fiction and its opposite.

Here is the scary part, he actually does know the difference between fiction and reality.

Or ... Was he?Shirley Sherrod was fired before they looked at the thing in context remember. The punchline is Glenn Beck didn't jump in until he had the facts and he came out in support of Ms. Sherrod.
