I wouldn't consider them commentators. They're certainly not news men. They have their own opinions much like Chris Matthews & Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Glenn Beck is definitely on the Looney Fringe of conservatism as are Matthews & Olbermann. Each party has their own fringe lunatics. Why single out FOX News? I'd say that Al Franken is a left wing fringe lunatic in the political side of the party as is Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer..... etc. ad nauseum!

The democratic party has WAAAAY more fringe lunatics than do conservatives, IMO.
