  I have no interest in Beck, but if you want to see how shallow this  
  "mediamatters" story about Byron Williams really is, see:  
    
  http://reason.com/blog/2010/10/11/byron-williams-talks  
    
  or you can go all the way back to the interview that the Reason story  
  reported on:  
    
  http://www.examiner.com/sf-in-san-francisco/freeway-gunman-byron  
  williams-says-glenn-beck-did-not-incite-him-to-violence  
    
  The title sort of gives it away.  One line from the story, in fact: "He  
  also said he felt forced to act out in violence because Beck and others in  
  the right wing media were not fighting hard enough against organizations  
  like the left-leaning Tides Foundation. "  
    
  and later in the article:  
    
  "When asked directly if he knew about the Tides Foundation before Beck  
  mentioned it, Williams replied, ôYes, I already had all that information  
  that he used on one or two of his programs.  I already knew all of that  
  stuff.  And to me it was more of a confirmation of what I already knew. ô  
    
  When asked if it hadnÆt been for Glenn Beck and Fox News, whether he still  
  would have planned violence, Williams said that it was because Fox News  
  didnÆt do enough to pursue the political left that he became frustrated and  
  felt like violence was the only answer.  
    
  The freeway gunman said, ôIÆm actually mad at Fox.   IÆm mad at them  
  because they go on to something else.  ItÆs like they drop the issue and it  
  lands on a shelf somewhere to collect dust.  And thatÆs whatÆs happening to  
  the truth. "  
    
  This will all come as a shock to Sauer.  Everything does.
