Why does it seem like they think Glen Beck & Hannity & Bill O’ Reilly are reporting the news when they are expressing their own opinions?

Yes, we do, Neocon. Do Neocons understand the difference between the news and professional Neoconservative propagandists such as Hanitty, Limabaugh and other trash.
Many of them are very young and don’t understand much yet…
When they grow up a bit and start paying taxes they “might” figure it out.
And yet so many watch those shows and post it on here like it was fact.
And then they call Olberman and Maddow the Liberal news media.
I understand the difference, and I know that when Fox is reporting the news it still has a right-wing bias to a lot of it.
Sure.
Do you understand what a LIE is?
Nobody is talking about anybody’s “opinion” dude.

One sec, let me switch on Fox news really quick.. Judd Gregg is complaining about democrats.. Gee, that seems to be fairly typical on Fox.
This is standard protocol for Fox, it is biased all the way to the bone. Don’t kid yourself. Every time I randomly hit Fox, just to see if there is any unbiased reporting going on.. I see lots of the usual propaganda being tossed around.
actually that’s what most liberals complain about… that conservatives can’t tell the difference?
when was the last time ANY conservative mentioned an actual news story?
I hear them CONSTANTLY talking about Beck and Hannity’s version of the news story… RARELY any insight into ANY new story beyond that…
just look at the ratings… the NEWS part of fox isn’t watched at all… are you guys watching CNN for your news?
We’re not the ones with the problem, it’s conservative crazies who take whatever Glenn Beck says as fact…
Apparently you people don’t understand you practically worship Glenn Beck don’t you?
Even when he has admitted to not being a journalist, he admitted to being a stand-up comedian, he even admitted to not being an expert.
He ALSO EVEN SAID THAT ANYONE THAT BELIEVES WHAT HE SAYS IS AN IDIOT LOL!
Oh yeah, do cons understand satire?
Bill O’Reilly calls himself a journalist and no one at Fox has openly corrected him.
Yes, you won’t find news commentators on FOX.
Just naysayers and doomsday prophets with a touch of black magic.
Yes, which is precisely why I use quotes around Fox “news”. It’s not news.
Yes. I don’t think Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or Bill O’Reilly are reporting the news. I believe they are editorializing the news.
However, my belief that Fox News is conservatively biased doesn’t come from any of those guys. It comes from which stories the actual news segments decide to cover, how those stories are covered, and which stories are given priority. It comes from the follow up questions the news anchors decide to ask in their interviews.
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’
The Harley rider replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.’
The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist for MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, and I will have this story on the headline news tonight. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’
The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican..’
The journalist leaves. That evening the biker tunes in to the to see his actions made the news. The lead story stated:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

I think you have it backwards. Liberals do understand the difference. It is the Neocons who don’t know the difference, particularly those who quote Beck, Hannity, and O’Reilly, as if it were fact. I have seen it here on Yahoo Answers over and over again.
In fact, your question basically paraphrases Fox News’ response to recent criticism of its news coverage.
