I did a quick google search on "Glenn Beck lies" along with "errors" and got an incredible number of responses. Some of the more vague accusations I skipped because MediaMatters.Org went to the trouble of quoting exactly when Beck said something, sometimes using the exact transcript from Fox's news site. Yahoo Answers had a guy who posted several direct links. It was while looking at MediaMatters.Org link that I found the "Misinformer of the year 2009" 'award'.

Now some people say MediaMatters.Org is 'non-partisan' but I can't say that I found much in the way of criticism for the administration. I've found far more even-handedness on Politifact.org in that they'll tell you when Obama has broken a promise and they do a good job of explaining how and why they give the ratings they do. Ok, I'm still a fan of any place that invented the "Pants On Fire" rating
