Ken, you keep emphasizing that Beck is now an "equal opponent" to the Obama administration, like that was something good for the right wing.

The White House is in fact choosing its opponents, and this time they took Glenn Beck because he has proven to be a lunatic. They're defining Beck as a liar and a moron, thereby discrediting the whole Fox News network.

It is a clear sign that they won't allow right-wing talking heads to set the agenda anymore, but take them head on, calling them out for their lies. If they do that, the fights will be very easy, and Fox News will soon have lost all credibility.

Not giving them access to the President on his interview day was the first sign that they're changing their strategy. Now the second step, and you applaud it like Glenn Beck would be a good representative of your cause. In fact they'll let him destroy your cause.

Their ratings are irrelevant for Obama. What's important for him is how independent voters are perceiving it. And while Obama's approval ratings have fallen (as they always do early in a new President's term), the Republicans' ratings are even worse.

As far as "Glenn Beck has already defeated Barack Obama several times" is concerned, that's exactly what is going to change now. He "defeated" Obama because the White House didn't join the fight. Now they're joining the fight.
