He frequently admits they are not journalists and routinely begs for investigative reporters to look in to the things they uncover. He maintains an open challenge to prove him right or wrong on a topic. If wrong, he will lead with the correction. They also created a direct phone line for the White House to call with corrections.

Again... there's frequent references here to Beck's honesty. And again and again it turns out that these claims are emotionally driven rather than factual. It's OK to dislike someone deeply. But perpetuating the perception that someone is dishonest doesn't make it so without substantiaton. You are entitled to to your opinions.
