In this Video Trail Mix we explore how this political performance artist mastered the formula for exploiting the angry man genre first seen in fiction with the 1976 film Network. It's called finding your niche and building brand loyalty among dedicated, anonymous and powerless people who think they've finally found a voice.

There seems be no shortage of personal/stylistic critiques of Beck in the media. Yet very little challenges to his fact-based analyses of what is going on in this country.

Dude, turn away from Fox now and then, he's getting refuted all over.

Dudette, Where are his facts being refuted? I have turned to MSNBC, for example, and have seen personal attacks and nit-picking but very little head-on fact-based refutiation.The same can be said for HuffPost.
