Fox, Beck rely on facts

The Spokesman-Review

A Jan. 9 letter sent by Barry Cross referring to false information on the Internet and evidently Fox news is worth a rebuttal.

I agree that information on the Internet should be verified before passing it on. He states that the “usually false and inflammatory comments” from conservative talk radio and Fox cable network leads nowhere. I would venture to say that Mr. Cross has never watched Fox national news with Sheppard Smith and without a doubt has never watched Glenn Beck.

Mr. Beck states his opinion and backs it up with facts and research. He begs the Obama White House to debate the issues he puts forth. He has even installed a red phone for the White House to call him directly.

Not once has anyone in the Obama administration offered to debate him on issues he has shown to be true through their own words or actions. Instead they try to downplay the truth with rhetoric and name-calling.

Our country is going down the wrong road. God help us all if this Woodrow Wilson copycat administration succeeds.
