Money talks. Beck was a advertising revenue disaster.

Really? I take that to mean the Dummy boycott worked then. Because he had good ratings. Wonder who they will try to take out now that they have one scalp?

1. Beck had really good ratings... but nobody was advertizing. It doesn't matter if you're the number one show on TV if you can only get Gold companys to sponsor you. THE BOYCOTTS WORKED

2. FOX has drifted to left. They are not a conservative network.

2. Al-Waleed bin Talal is the number two shareholder of New Corp. Do the math.

I'm sure it has. In yesterday's ratings release, Beck barely squeaked by the FNC show that follows him (Special Report), but he did crush his period's competition. However, I'm sure that Bret Baeir's program generates a multiple of Beck's ad-rev. So, if FNC replaces Beck with someone less controversial, and as a consequence more palatable to big-dollar advertisers (read: not Pet-Meds), FNC will be financially much better off - and that's not even taking into account Beck's salary, from what I understand was more than Greta's.

Old Deck Hand is a lefty. He is an anti-birther. Saudi Arabia through their proxy Al Waleed is the largest shareholder in News Corp. (Fox).

People have no clue about satellite access whihc is ALL that matters. Murdoch and the other 5 networks only care about sat access to Asia and the middle east. America’s standard of living is dropping rapidly.

Your choice is 300 million going broke or 2 billion in Islamic countries (including Indonesia) with rapidly growing wealth and Asia (including China) with 3 billion with a rapidly improving standard of living.

Stupid sheep sold out once again and they have no clue what is going on. It’s All Obama TV folks.

It does appear that by ousting Beck the left has won another victory. Perhaps somebody who is computer literate could locate the trend of Beck’s advertising revenues over the last few years?
