He has several specials on Iraq, Iran and Syria and is beating the drum for a war with Iran next. Be wise! The only way to peace is through dialogue.

Is he asking us (the United States) to fight another war for Israel? Isn't it enough our involvement in the middle east and our one sided support for Israel that has completely tarnished our image in this part of the world as well as elswhere. After 13+ years as a loyal CNN viewer, I can no longer distinguish CNN from FOX. Enough with Glenn and enough with CNN (at least until Glenn is off the air. Thank you for 13+ years of service.

I keep on reading about the media and the right-wing and how corrupt it is. Glenn Beck is not a reporter, he is a talk show host who is paid to voice his opinion. Once "reporters" who are supposed to bring unbiased news to the public stop bringing unfair, exaggerated, and just plain made up reports with a left-wing bias, then you can complain about a talk show host not being polically correct. The way I see it is that they see themselves as the only way to bring any diversity to the media. And seeing as how they are outnumbered 100 to 1, they are just trying to be heard. You criticize Fox News. Why? Because they are different and don't bring a left-wing bias to the news. I though you liberals were supposed to embrace diversity. Well, I guess you pick and choose which diversity is OK to embrace. That is just plain hypocritical. Guys,
