This is frightening. No, I don't like Beck or the Fox News cadre. But it's scary that you actually believe this.
So much for raising the civility of public discourse.
Why do you think this is?

when i worked in editing, we called harvard.
i may be wrong on this particular school, but there are MANY schools ON harvard's campus that hold classes and certification type programs
none of which are actually harvard.
we called them countless times for countless people's bio info where they said they graduated from harvard, only to find out, they attended and got certification from one of these programs on harvards campus.
like i said, i maybe wrong, but i thought that having a degree from the JFK School of Government wasnt the same as having a degree from harvard...
but im not going to bet money on it or anything...
i like the HUGE generalizations and assumptions yall make from my posts...
having a ph.D. makes you able to talk about politics and not having one bans you from it?
never said that.
however,
having a ph.d and being a rhoads scholar > self-education
anyone arguing that is just arguing against the people
the only statement i made was "yes, it makes them more credible"
BECAUSE HAVING AN EDUCATION DOES MAKE YOU MORE CREDIBLE
THIS IS WHY WE EVEN HAVE EDUCATION
"a rhoads scholar with a ph.d. in politics is just as credible as a self-educated junkie"
like ole boy above me said
"just watch them, objectively, and notice the difference in vocabulary"
now, before someone says "oh, so having a large vocabulary makes you more credible?"
no, it doesnt...
but it does show an OBVIOUS intellectual gap between the two.
when it comes to watching a show to be educated, politically, i do think the education of the host is important, sorry.
that may be just me, tho.
i mean, ask any HR person at any business in any arena in this country
who is more credible
"i think imma go with the addict who self-educated over the ph.d and rhoads scholars"
your responses inspire me to post the most cliche NT quote
U MAD?
(in the OP, i posted the educational backgrounds of the three and said "imma let YALL say it".....dudes making accusations assumptions AND putting words in my mouth, THEN actually ARGUING with things i never even said....
A bit different though. GWB was legacy. He carried a C average in High School.
According to enphan if you have a phd or went to an Ivy League school you are more credible.
HE IS more credible than glenn beck....
and he got into yale off his daddy
AND HES STILL MORE CREDIBLE!
and yes, U MAD.
he just brought up Barack Obama's name in a conversation with Glenn Beck.
LOL, Obama isn't credible and successful?
is he not the first black president?
scratch that, IS HE NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD?
id say that was pretty damn successful....
way more successful than being the cliche idiot talking head for a mass of uneducated morons....who also happened to drop out of his only college course....and is a recovering MULTIPLE drug addict...
see, i dont even have to make you look dumb, you're doing it FOR me..
"where is this universal healthcare he promised?"

Oh good, here comes the large font and tons of rolling smiley faces. Typical of an enphan response. Nobody is mad, you are obviously missing my point, and I am still not sure what yours is, so I will leave it at that.

Sorry, I should have qualified that statement with "most Repubs can relate better".
I read alot of Republicans thoughts and many say that they'd rather have a guy they "could have a beer with", a person who is "more like me" running the country and making the decisions.

That's the main problem today. You look back at news in the 80s, 70s, and 60s and it was meant to inform. It's top priority was to inform the people. It did not take a back seat to entertainment. Holding that in favor is what has warped our society and culture. You can't just report what's going on you gotta give your own opinion and spin on things.Originally Posted by BostonThreeParty
If Olbermann had atleast some sort of liveliness to his personality or his show, instead of the dull, dry humor he provided on his show and when he was on Football Night in America on NBC, he'd still be on air,Originally Posted by Dame Theory
Olbermann got canned because of ratings. People can't handle the truth or at least a liberal perspective. Beck and Limbaugh and Hannity and OReilly pander to the stupidity of WASPs.
Bruh, the TEA PARTY JUST DID A TELEVISED NATIONAL RESPONSE AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.
LIKE WHUT?!
Strictly from a TV/Radio standpoint, Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity provide a show that's entertaining, yet informative, now wether you agree its accurate or not, it isn't the point, but that they were killing Olbermann ratings wise.
So when you look at what eNPHAN is talking about it shows how Americans are fine with an uneducated buffoon catering to one group's ideas solely because they are told what they want to hear and would rather perpetuate their own fears and prejudices.

what point is that? what is your point? that not everyone with a college degree is smart and not everyone who dropped out of college is stupid?
wow, thanks for that. Had it not been for my bachelor's degree and you telling me, i would have never known that...
oh, you're not sure of what my point is?
that one side's media is led by ph.d. rhoads scholars
and the other side's media is led by uneducated pill heads
is it clear enough for you, yet?
(and you're arguing against my "point", when even you admit you're unsure as to what my point is.....so you're arguing against something you don't even understand/know what it is? sounds pretty logical there.)

....no, thats not what he's saying.
- thats what these idiots love to do on here.
.....if it isnt that they'll polarize your issue and add to it. before you know it people are chiming in on what they turned it into rather than READING what you said in the OG post. thats NT though, take it or leave it.

Save your qualified response. Americans of both political parties like politicians they think they can 'relate' to. Why do you think John Edwards emphasized his hardscrabble mill-town roots, EVERY CHANCE HE GOT?
But I can see you've delved deeply into Conservative thought (after all, 'alot' sure is a lot).

Never will Olbermann's rants ever come close to being as disturbing as Beck's paranoia. It wouldn't surprise me to see the equivalent of Beck's paranoid ramblings written in feces on the wall of a mental hospital.

this.
dude is saying "if beck was a ph.d"
if he was, he wouldnt be glenn beck as we know him
he would be educated
his thoughts and opinions would come from an educated, well-versed mind....
trelvis, if you ARENT defending beck, then what is it that you're doing, exactly?
i take offense to these three people being categorized or even compared.....
this whole time im like "eh, theyre just on opposite ends of the spectrum"
then my girl asks me to look up beck's bio
come to find out, dude has a high school education.....
he dropped out of a religious course....
these three people should NEVER be compared.
my argument is void of Oreilly, YOU SAY, because he is educated and it would hurt my argument...
i agree, but not because it would hurt my argument, but because HE IS EDUCATED, ANY IDEA OR THOUGHT HE FORMS COMES FROM AN EDUCATED MIND....
even tho he's prone to believing god formed the moon with his bare hands, he's still educated...
i dont agree with him hardly ever, but im not bashing him for being high-school educated, either...
so, yes, this is a glenn beck trashing post...
and?
he's a pill-popping, alcoholic, pothead with a 12th grade education, IF THAT....(thats my "point" thats the "point" of the post)
you disagree?
