Agreed. Beck needs to have someone who daily kicks him in the nuts, but for the most part Stuart/Colbert do a good job of that. I would volunteer, but I'd probably bleed from the ears if I had to listen to more of Beck's shit than I get on the clip jobs.
Cable news as a whole disappoints me, since it's all infotainment. Most are either ideologues or trying so hard to appear inpartial that they can't ask an obvious question. "I might hurt his feelings." Rachel's good but sometimes she bores me. Keith is good but sometimes he's really not funny and it comes off as sad. and I feel like he's just as bad as fox some days when it comes to pure partisanism. (J. Garrafalo should never ever be on a news show.) Everyone else is just a blow hard. I just want some news dammit.
I actually was disappointed. He showed the clip where Obama made his point for him, but they spent so much time making fun of Joe Wilson that he didn't have time for an I told you so.
