If Keith Olbermann or Rachal Maddow had an event in DC would Faux even bothered.

| 1. Easy. It is so they have their OWN footage to use when making fun of it. |

So Beck and Faux News are some of their bread and butter.
Beck and Fox don't often talk about Keith and Rachel because they are not hate mongers and outright liars.
That's the reason that Fox's attempt to create their own Daily Show didn't work. It's difficult to make fun of truth and reason.

I switched over for a second as Beck was wrapping up and MSNBC had on Muscle Women.
