That has lead to a low informed public in the US being a large group of miss-informed people who need to watch a Glen Beck to gather their opinion.

I'm not trying to start an argument of Fox vs. MSNBC or Right vs. Left. My problem is the deceiving nature of labeling opinion as fact.
You might have never watched FNC, but at no time do they indicate that Glen Beck is reporting the news. He is doing an opinion show similar to Larry King and Oprah. If people cannot tell the difference between news and a talk show - its not FNC problem.

FNC reports the news on separate shows.
