Sure, Beck appeals to the "throw 'em all out" crowd. That's why many Republicans who currently are in office do not necessarily appreciate his rants. That said, I remain quite sure that Beck has many more devotees who almost always vote Republican than who mainly vote for independent candidates. I also think that distinctions often have to be made between the actual ownership of many of these media outlets and the people who work there and become the ones who's names appear on the by-lines and who become the public faces that everyone sees. For instance, one of our major TV networks, one of those "liberal" ones because it is alleged that they all are except for Fox, is owned by General Electric. Now, is General Electric, the corporate giant and massive military/industrial complex holding company a bastion of liberalism? Of course not. So, what does that make the TV network that they own and control?
