When Beck’s show made its debut on Fox News Channel in January 2009, the nation was in the throes of an economic collapse the likes of which had not been seen since the 1930s. Beck’s angry broadcasts about the nation’s imminent doom perfectly rode the wave of fear that had washed across the nation, and the relatively unknown entertainer suddenly had 3 million viewers a night — and tens of thousands answering his call to rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
But as the recession began to ease, Beck’s apocalyptic forecasts and ominous conspiracies became less persuasive, and his audience began to drift away. Beck responded with a doubling-down that ultimately brought about his demise on Fox.
He pushed further into dark conspiracies, urging his viewers to hoard food in their homes and to buy freeze-dried meals for sustenance when civilization breaks down. He spun a conspiracy theory in which the American left was in cahoots with an emerging caliphate in the Middle East. And, most ominously, he began to traffic regularly in anti-Semitic themes.
Uh... Okay can someone tell me when the hell Glenn Beck ever was anti semetic? Being against government killing freedom is now anti semetic?
he had attacked the Jewish billionaire George Soros, a Holocaust survivor, as a “puppet master” and read descriptions of him as an “unscrupulous profiteer” who “sucks the blood from people.” Beck falsely called Soros “a collaborator” with Nazis who “saw people into the gas chambers.”
Yeah what about it?
It is a sign of the nation’s health and resilience that Beck, after 27 months at Fox, is meeting a similar end.

He also told his listeners to buy gold, back when it was $670 an ounce. Today, it’s almost $1,600.
Bet she didn’t include THAT mere factoid.
His show still had better ratings than almost all MSNBC shows put together....nice try
George Soros is an admitted and unrepentant Nazi collaborator.
Milbank lost me after “But as the recession began to ease”.

I stopped reading at that point.
I don’t know how to post a pic on FR, but this might help to better understand this freak.

This is the same Dana Milbank who announced that BO was too smart to be President.

soros is a left-wing narcicistic dictator wannabe. I couldn’t care less that he’s Jewish. He’s evil scum.
Just like obama is a left-wing narcicistic dictator wannabe. I couldn’t care less that he’s half-black. He’s evil scum.
Does saying that make me, a staunch Israel supporter who despises racism and racists of all stripes, an anti-semite or a racist? In they eyes of the left, yup. But I also couldn’t care less what they think. I know that I’m not - and neither is Beck - and that’s enough.
>>”Milbank lost me after “But as the recession began to ease”.”<<
LOL! Me too.
The author is a steaming pile of dog $hit, as well as a Communist apologist.
Beck hasn't lost his job yet, but Milbank has lost whatever semblence of profesionalism he might have employed at some time with the tea bagging sleaze talk.
No journalist confident that his prose commands respect would lap up that smut in an off balance moment, much less present that primordial goo in the hopes his audience would want to parrot that filth.
Glen worked himself overtime for months, what with his public appearances, writing books, doing his shows, and being physically challenged in several ways,
God bless Glen Beck, and may he be healed and continue to prosper. Thank you Glen for your vital informative programs. George Soros is an evil man, in his intentions for America.
Yes, with real unemployment in double digits, gas & gold prices rising, home prices and the dollar falling, trillion dollar annual deficits.
Happy days are here again!
Why is Glen Beck being canceled?
