CNN's Glenn Beck vs. FOXNews Bill O'Reilly

Which one is more pointless?

I mean it's obvious that Beck was hired by CNN to be their version of O'Reilly. Both are the pedantic, prosaic chroniclers of all things liberal (which they hate, or love, since they’re obsessed with the whole concept, I'll admit I'm baffled). But I got to give all the beans to O'Reilly. He's cornered the market on the gruppy old man. Beck, all doughy and dull as rainy afternoon, is just as narcissistic as the people he thinks he's so clever enough to poke fun at.

After all, much like actors and musicians, both Beck and O'Reilly are a bottomless pit of needs and wants. Avoid them as you would a fungus or an episode of Deal or No Deal.
