Glenn Beck, as seen from across the pond.
Have seen people talk about the Glenn Back rally here and there, and as always I flashed back to this wonderful piece by Charlie Brooker. (For those unfamiliar with him, this is how he's described on wiki: Charlton "Charlie" Brooker is a British journalist, comic writer and broadcaster. His style of humour is savage and profane, with surreal elements and a consistent satirical pessimism.) Anyway, here he is, commenting on American news. The Glenn Beck segment starts at approx. 4:30, although I'd recommend watching the whole thing.
Oh! And there's A LOT of swearing.

Yeah, the BBC etc. aren't perfect, but comparatively... Although Fox, of course, only caters to a v. small minority.

But, they're still less than the average rating for "The Hills" or "Days of Our Lives"

I knew this, actually, thanks to Charlie Brooker. :) I'm not sure whether to be worried about it, or to take shippex's point.
he's not a news show, but a political opinion show.
Very true.
