A New Media War Brewing?

Colbert vs. Beck? I hope so! And potentially in the vein of Jon Stewart v. Jim Cramer/CNBC. I've long thought Glen Beck to be a complete wanker, and now that he has moved his show to Fox News Channel it has all but confirmed those thoughts. How did he manage to keep a show on CNN for so long anyways?

Running through Digg the other day I came across this Colbert Report clip that had become quite popular. In it, Colbert makes a complete mockery of Glen Beck and his career posturing on 9-11: the fake tears, sad looks, wiping eyes, the 9-12 project and let's not forget the quotes about how Glen Beck hates 9-11 victim's families.

If Fox News and Glen Beck take offence to Colbert's piece the way CNBC took offense to Jon Stewart's rant from the other week, we could have another awesome show down coming up between Colbert and Beck.


This is taken just north of MN HWY 1 and Tettegouche State Park on the Superior Hiking Trail. Can't remember the name of the lake but I believe it is on the approach to WRELC.
