Glenn Beck: Entertainer

Posted by Further In

I don’t much care for Rush Limbaugh.  I don’t like Keith Olbermann.  They rile me up.  They get me mad.  And they do very little to help me think more, speak kinder, or be better.

In short, they are the opposite of what Farther Up and Further In is all about.

But what of Glenn Beck?

This evening, while watching The Colbert Report, it dawned on me, that Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Glenn Beck are all in the same category.  Their attempts are partly to entertain, and partly to explain.

Glenn Beck is simply a little more paranoid than the other two are.

Somehow, however, I suspect that he doesn’t take himself as seriously as many others do.  But maybe I’m wrong.

It is interesting, however, to note that besides Beck, Comedy Central may be the world’s up-and-coming news provider.  An interesting thought for the future of news.
