i don't think any president has ever fired a czar based off of a jerry springer episodes.
i don't know if george bush ever said, "we have to squash this fast. we don't want to see it on jerry springer later tonight"
The diff is in the attention people pay to them.
Both Beck and Springer are merely sensationalism based entertainers.
The problem is in the viewers, not the entertainers.
wasn't springer the guy who always had white trash trailer folk on, and it would always end up in a fight which some big bald dude would break up?
how does that compare to what glenn beck does?
both tickle the same parts of our emotional psyche.
they both depend on emotional responses not logical ones.
