Beck’s rise to media stardom followed a meteoric path since he joined Fox News in October 2008 just weeks before Barack Obama captured the presidency. With his black-rimmed glasses and chalkboard, at times he seemed like the living personification of Howard Beale, the fictional character in the 1976 film "Network," who persuaded Americans to stand up en masse and yell, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.”Unmentioned in the article is that Howard Beale was completely fucking unhinged. Strangely enough, no synonyms for "crazy" appear in the piece either.

Also, bye Sidney, thanks for the movies.

Newsmax is known for it's balanced approach and scrupulous adherence to the facts. So this is surprising.

It's news to the MAX- this news goes to eleven.
Substance, I don't know if you've seen this or not...but it's pretty hilarious. I have some major issues with Jon Stewart at times, but his take-downs of Glenn Beck are pretty brilliant.
