However, I would venture a guess that the average Beck viewer fails to recognize that any of the "information" he spouts is an exaggeration, an embellishment or a downright falsehood. He bases the occasional story on fact in much the same way that Hollywood bases the occasional movie on a true story; sure, it is based on a true story but the main purpose is still to entertain and if the story doesn't live up to the standards Americans require for entertainment, what is one to do? Embellish. He is even more dangerous than if he failed to ever base anything on anything at all. It earns him just enough ardent supporters who will quickly point out the fundamental truths which keeps him afloat.
Ron Paul "talks about concerning the FED, congress, the falling value of the dollar, seiu, etc." Yet, these two individuals aren't saying remotely the same thing. It's not always what you say but how you say it.
i will agree with that. I mean i get my information from all sorts of arenas. Not just the "right" or the "left". Not just the USA, not just europe, etc. I will agree with you that

The average voter has no idea what Obama is seeking to do or do to this country because they either A) Lack the intelligence to comprehend it B) just dont care

I will say the average Beck watcher is prob in the same category.

Hell i read Palins book, not because i LIKE HER, but because i like to hear all sides to a story. I really cant stand Hannity either, but ill watching him from time to time.

I think Oreilly gets a bad rap, i really think he tries to stay in the middle and he has said some things to back up Obama that people just skip over. I think hes prob the most middle of the road guy on there.

Beck is way out in right field (even though hes not a republican) but some of the stuff he talks about i will agree with or know what hes trying to say.
