Why is Beck getting praise? Because he is doing a journalist duty to inform people about what the politicians are doing.

I don't get a chance to watch his shows so I can't answer with specific examples. From what I have been able to catch and from what I observe he does not slam the right as hard as he is slamming the left. I may be wrong as I am not a hard core Beck fan.

I would hope that he is willing to lay into all politicians regardless of party affiliation. If I am wrong and have missed him pointing out the rights mistakes and then I apologize.

BTW, please discern from this post that I believe in ethical journalism for both sides of the issue. I do not support Obama's agenda but nor do I agree with biased reporting.
