I am more concerned with Glenn Beck. I suspect that he was recruited specifically to be a “right wing Keith Olbermann”. That is, just as obnoxious, offensive and knee jerk. And while this may be emotionally gratifying, it lacks class, and is self-defeating in the long run.
Personally, I would like to see Rupert Murdock set up a journalism school with Brit Hume as the headmaster, with entire courses in subjects like “ethics” (which are not relativistic, nor determined by vote), “objectivity” (how not to spin, even though you have an opinion), and “integrity” (how to be able to look yourself in the face every morning).
I don’t understand the fascination with Beck either. That guy is extremely hard to watch. Enough with the fourth grade histrionics already and please don’t eat ever again on TV. Him chewing chocolate made me gag so bad I turned my set off.

It does work though. Look at the results of the 2008 election.
A Tabloid Journalism, maybe. Seems to me that's been his stock in trade. FOX NEWS is tabloid all the way.
