This video is too funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtlOBa6qa3o
When Lewis Black was at the Borgata, I ran a follow spot for him. Thankfully he did not move around much, I was laughing too hard to hold onto it without wiggling the light all over the stage.
And he is very right about Beck... Most of Fox "news" for that matter. They could have all the facts.. but would still turn me off due to their sensationlistic style.

Sensationalism is at least honest and highly visible. I prefer that to subtle, but all-pervasive bias injected throughout every story.
That being said, I don't watch Fox or any other MSM news source.

Fox's sensationalism is honest? I thought they claimed to be the fair and balanced news source.

Fair and Balanced with Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Karl Rove working for them...

Note that I said I don't watch Fox. But it's not like anybody else IS fair and balanced either. At least with Fox you know what you're getting, unlike the rest of the quote news unquote which is just as biased but loves to pretend they are not.

I think PBS is pretty fair.

Watching PBS, Fox, the Daily Show, and any other "source" (even listening to NPR) is like communicating with your gf/wife - there's always an agenda and you have to pay special attention to get it "right".
You REALLY have to know them or you're gonna get manipulated into a position that makes you feel used and stupid - and both are ugly realities.
