YES! THIS IS CON-TEXT TO A PARALLAX VIEW. and pun on the Billy Club and Blank Network to be named later.
The Pair o' Lax View* . I'm not just axing like Palin asks of Obama.

BUT THIS IS THE POINT!
The exchange between Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly actually makes both of them look better. It is the closest thing to two perspectives as might be found on FOX NEWS. Not that there is not a heckuva lot to pit and parse the cherries from the twigs, but there is something about the analysis(in the exchange) that may be not only valid but worth sorting and in respect to the audience about as much as they might be able to handle. That is not to say that it does not also serve as an inflammatory tool in a more nuanced way**.
