If you watch Glen Beck, why?

I have listened to and (DVR) recorded Glenn for a number of years because he seems to have a genuine passion for presenting important facts that do not show up elsewhere in the media. He also appears to be very well read, and he does a lot of research before presenting anything. In fact, when you watch him discuss issues with O'Reilly (who I also watch and respect), Bill appears to be much less well informed at times.

Early on, I thought Glenn was a bit "out there" with some of his issues, but he as proven to be right on so many things I have become able to look past his passionate presentation and a lot of what he has to say really causes me great concern for the country. I was influenced to the point that I wrote and recorded a song (to try to do my part to help wake people up) and posted it on Youtube. You can find it here as well if you are interested:

Glenn also "sticks it" to both sides... he appears to be looking for honest leadership (leadership in the best interest of the country) wherever it comes from. I just hope the conservatives and libertarians do not split, but are able to unite so that we don't have a repeat of the "Ross Perot" effect when the elections roll around... assuming it's not too late by then.

One last thing about Beck, at least you know where he is coming from with his opinions... he lays it on the line, even when discussing financial issues he does disclaimers about having gold advertisers. And, he does not try to hide his "bias" unlike most in the rest of the media... nor is he just a comedian like (left wing, so what else is new) Jon Stewart who shows a lot of clips taken out of contents and does very shallow "reporting" with very little substance thereby influencing the generally uninformed.

It is important for people to watch and listen to all sides (although it seems like Fox and Talk Radio against the rest of the media). By watching all, however, the best and most accurate reporting will become obvious.
