Like, when KO ragged on O'Rielly, that was cool cause it was kind of limited and frankly, O'reilly was on path to destroy the nation even further. But do I really need "Cenk" to go ahead and tell me his thoughts on a douchebag like Glen Beck? And do I really need Glen Beck to begin with? Methinks not. Have we really gotten to the point where these assholes have become those who dictate policy rather than challenge those who create it? And do we really want to legitimize their egos by encouraging it?

And do I really want to keep talking in questioning form? The answer to all is, "no!"
BTW; on this note, check out Charlie Brooker's new program, "Newswipe."

He's an amateur hack revealing the obvious spoonfed shit for dumb liberals to listen to and feel smart cause they understand it. I'll take KO over him any day. The airwaves need more Charlie Brooker. We need to berate the shit that is modern media, not praise the rejects we happen to agree with.

3. As a "dumb liberal" I'm certainly done listening to you.
I haven't heard Cenk be wrong yet.

5. Wow, you are dumb, I said he points out the obvious, didn't I?
You just proved everything I said in my other post.

4. This happened because we have several media conglomerates all doing 24 hour news.
There are only so many things that actually happen. As a result we have these channels covering a) small shit that nobody cares about and b) coverage of the coverage. Both of these are cheap ways to fill time.

I actually like Cenk covering guys like Beck though. Beck and his ilk are threats to freedom and deserve scrutiny.

6. Oh, don't be so sensitive, all he did was advocate breaking up the country!

It's not like he got a BJ or something.
