Rachel Maddow calls out Beck for editing her criticism of him on her show and making sure his viewers didn't see Rachel calling him out for his bullshit. I had said before that Dylan Ratigan was wasting his time engaging Beck. That's because Ratigan actually thought it would be a good idea to either bring Beck on his show or go on Beck's show. I do not think when Beck lies about one of them they should let it go unchallenged and am glad Rachel Maddow pointed out Beck's hypocrisy here and how he edited her segment. Engaging him is a complete waste of time. He's not going to come on MSNBC any time soon and he sure as hell isn't going to bring either Ratigan or Maddow on his show any time soon and if he did they'd be in some debate box where he could hit the mute button any time he wanted instead of live on his set.

It's useless to even pretend like that might happen in any fair manner, ever, as Ratigan proposed. Calling him out for his bullshit is not. Although I would love to see the idiot try to debate Rachel in person if he wasn't just allowed to yell over her, cut her mike or filibuster the entire time. I would imagine it would be much like Beck bringing a toy knife to an assault rifle fight if he actually had to debate Rachel Maddow on any subject and those were the rules of the game. I hope Rachel doesn't spend too much time on this pissing contest with Beck though because in the end, too much time spent on this serial liar is just a waste of energy. Fox doesn't care how much he lies and neither do his brain dead viewers. Well enough to point it out and move along.
