      You are showing your lack of intelligence, Beck.

      Swing and a miss again Beck. Controlling what you say to the media is not controlling the media.

      But I guess somebody as out-of-control and lacking self-control as beck might find that a little hard to understand.

        Does anyone else find it interesting that Beck, who has this show all to himself and can control every single aspect of it, is decrying Dunn for bypassing the media to get out the Obama Campaign's message?

        Isn't that exactly what Beck does nearly every night? The media and politicians pick up their cues from Beck every day without interviewing him or any real form of feedback like that.

        The main difference is that Beck is a self-described rodeo clown - not elected or running for office, but he has found a way to be massively influential using the same method as Obama who is actually honest and held accountable for his words.

          It's really just more projection from the right wing media. They tried to "control" the town hall meetings by suckering wingnuts into showing up and screaming over any debate, they tried to "control" the campaign by showing the same few seconds of Rev. Wright to distract from the issues, and they're trying to "control" Obama's presidency by obsessing over nonsense like the fake pimp & ho's ACORN videos.

          They were rewarded for behaving like idiots for two terms of Bush,and they were right in the White House controlling the message.

          Now the new Prez has said "Sorry, idiots, we're not playing in your sandbox", and they've got to convince the gullible that Obama is the control freak.

        Hey Col. Sanders I agree. Controlling what gets out to the media is more important than what fake media reports. I think that the more he talks in silly voices and makes his guests sound like one of the munckins the less credibility he has. At least I'm hoping so. There can't really be that many people as stupid as him?
        What is ironic is we finally have what I feel is the most intelligent man in the white house. But how can the stupidest man be so popular? That is what scares me.

      This is typical inside baseball in any campaign. Leave it to someone as apparently clueless as Dunn to say it out loud though, and to someone as dishonest as Beck to pretend that it is somehow Maoist, as opposed to business as usual in the good ol' US of A.

      Nor should someone like Beck, who rubs Vicks in his eyes to induce fake tears to manipulate his easily lead viewers, complain about media manipulation.

      "I think my eyes are getting used to it."

      Beck, I'll bet you were outraged when Bush's Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, referred to the build up to the Iraq invasion as a product roll-out. Weren't you?

      Controlling the message is outstanding political strategy.

      Smoke and mirrors - smoke and mirrors.

      Fox had no problem LITERALLY being controlled by the White House from 2001-2008.

      Funny how that changed overnight, say around January 21st or so.

      "Making the media cover what he was saying instead of why" You people see nothing wrong with that? Are you serious??

      Another example of what the White House was saying about Fox being an extension of the RNC and taking sound-bites out of context.

      And,Fox,like the children they are when called out, decide to push nonsense twice as hard.

        Yes, and before someone says 'Well, Beck's is an opinion show, not a news show': at the end of this clip Beck by his own admission notes that his views are the same views of the entire FOX News Channel.
