Glenn Beck coming to a cable box near you

Media Matters for America is reporting that CNN has hired Glenn Beck. I think it's a breath of fresh air for CNN to be upfront about its right-wing agenda instead of pretending it doesn't have one, and to be upfront about the fact that it is not a news network, but a collection of extraordinarily bad third-rate circus acts.

Beck, you will recall, fantasized on the air about killing Michael Moore, called Nick Berg's father a scumbag, and announced how much he hated the families of the September 11 victims.
