Where is Fox News now on BLINKOTV? They had it streamed live in HD and now it's GONE again!! Does anyone know a place to watch it for free online? I work all day and want to watch Beck.

December 3, 2009 - 11:46 ET Feedback: Add to the list... Glenn came up with a list of things that if he told you a year ago, you would never believe they'd ever come to fruition. The list is staggering, but it's only a partial list because it's what Glenn, Stu and Pat came up with just chatting in the office this morning. Listen to the list Glenn produced and help add to it by sending us any glaring omissions using the form below... GLENN: From high above Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, third most listened to show in all of...

Went to the Christmas Sweater tonight which was being simulcasted and beamed out to hundreds of theaters across the nation tonight. Glenn showed the live show from last year and introduced us to 4 amazing people's stories live on stage and went in-depth about some of the truth about the book. It was shown in 2 theaters at our local Cineplex and both rooms were filled to capacity. If anyone else went chime in because I can honestly say I don't think I will ever view my life the same again. I was emotionally blown away by what I saw...

Recently Jim Robinson posted two threads declaring Free Republic’s determination to see Conservatives elected and ousting Rino's from government. Jim and a great many Freepers believe that we need to take back control. But the RNC is not hearing us. Activism is called for NOW. 2010 is nearing and we need Conservative candidates to run. The time is ripe and people are ready for another 1994 type election. But we need to make the RNC hear us loud and clear. This is the Rino Free America Project. Get involved. Make them listen. Write a letter and MAIL it. Republican...

Barbara Walters will highlight Glenn Beck among her "10 Most Fascinating People of 2009" special next Wednesday when it airs on ABC at 10pmET. He joins the likes of Sarah Palin, Adam Lambert, and Lady Gaga. Beck is definitely a unique television personality. Tomorrow night, he'll make another venture to the big screen, when his "The Christmas Sweater - A Return To Redemption...LIVE!" stage show will be simulcast in HD movie theaters across the country. Apparently, it's the closest most people will be able to get to seeing him live this winter. His "Bold and Fresh" tour with Bill O'Reilly...

It's perhaps indicative of the culture, but there has been a media obsession with the scandalous aspects of Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashing a White House State Dinner on Nov. 24. However, the incident also demonstrated how vulnerable President Barack Obama could be to outside intruders, and that isn't getting the lion's share of the attention. Instead, coverage like that from NBC's "Today" show has been about reality TV and exclusive interviews. This soft focus, argued Fox News host Glenn Beck on his Dec. 1 broadcast, could have repercussions. "Let me ask you, what's more reasonable: people walking by the...

Rush didnt use names but clearly it a shot across the bow of Beck who does great work uncovering marxist, maoist, socialist in the Democrat party yet turns around after all his research and says both parties are the same. If you truly want to take this country back with the 40% majority of Americans who call themselves Conservatives we must take back our party. It makes no sense to hand over victory to the marxist and for the majority to yield our party over to the likes of Graham ,Mccain and Crist when we are the majority. Let them...

Four months after major advertisers abandoned Fox News Channel's "Glenn Beck" show -- as a result of Beck's calling President Obama a "racist" -- the network has seen little change in marketers' media strategy toward the controversial program. Beck's ratings pull in hefty daytime audiences -- 2.8 million viewers -- and the show retains middle and small-level daytime advertisers, according to media executives. There is still no sign of top-drawer, higher-valued daytime TV advertisers, such as Procter & Gamble, Geico, Clorox, UPS Stores and Progressive Insurance. Their ads had previously appeared on the program. A recent late November airing of...

GLENN BECK PROGRAM BEGIN TRANSCRIPT GLENN: Mike Huckabee, I don't even -- I mean, I don't even know what's going on here. First of all, my problem with Mike Huckabee is -- there's a couple of things. One, it's the same kind of problem that I think I have with Mitt Romney but at least Mitt Romney will be square with you. My problem with Mitt Romney is I think there are a lot of people who get themselves wrapped up into the gospel and they find themselves at a place where they think government should be the big babysitter,...

Glenn Beck - he has one of the highest-rated shows on the top cable news network. He's had a number of bestselling books and he's called attention to some unsavory characters working in the Obama administration. Yet - he's somehow considered to be a risky business decision for the powers in charge at Fox News. On CNN's Nov. 29 "Reliable Sources," host Howard Kurtz pointed out Glenn Beck accusing Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., of "hooking" for the so-called $300 million "Louisiana Purchase" provision of the health care bill. "He's talking there about Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, who did get a...

Glenn Beck was just named the 2009 winner of an award he would probably rather not have received (or maybe he would, under the principle that all publicity is good publicity): The “Doublespeak Award,� given annually by the National Council of Teachers of English. The nonprofit group, which promotes literacy and the language arts, gives the award “to public speakers who have perpetuated language that is deceptive, evasive, euphemistic, confusing & self-centered.� Beck was named the 2009 winner at the council’s annual convention over the weekend in Philadelphia. Here is the citation, along with some past winners....

I sent an email to Progressive insurance saying that after my policy is up, I won't resign with them because they took advertising from the Glenn Beck show on Fox. They sent me an email saying that there was misinformation out there. They said that they had never advertised on the show...but they advertise on Fox News. They merely asked Fox to take their ads out of Beck's show...but they still advertise on Fox.... They even tried to call me. They said that they do not want to take sides. And reiterated that they still advertise on Fox News. I...

"Government Distrust and a Dead Census Taker."“...[W]as it part of the recent rage at what right-wing commentators decry as the big-spending, socialistic government of the first African-American President? Al Cross, a former reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal who covered the area for 30 years, believes that the conditions underlying the murder go back much farther and are much deeper — and more local — than the recent spate of ire. (Read TIME's cover story on Glenn Beck.)” Well, now it turns out that Kentucky investigators have concluded that poor Sparkman committed suicide, faking his own death in order to let...

http://www.breitbart.tv/beck-rules-out-ticket-with-palin-bassed-on-yapping/ I have lost respect for Beck. Maybe he's upset she didn't give him an interview or rule out 3rd party but this is SO SEXIST.

I don’t disagree with most of what Glenn Beck says in this piece. Courts-martial for Navy SEALS who allegedly gave a terrorist a fat lip while in custody? Does the Navy court-martial sailors who give each other fat lips? Would a SEAL stop at a fat lip if he actually got out of control? (I know a couple of SEALs, and I highly, highly doubt it.) Few would disagree with the thought that we should put the men and women who dedicate their lives to this country as our first priority, either, and that we should give them the resources...

We have a few more weeks, folks, to gather our thoughts and political weapons, and then 2010 is upon us. It will be a mad dash to the finish line, and we have a lot of priorities: Kill healthcare, kill Cap & Trade, pursue terrorists wherever they hide, win primaries, and stand atop Capitol Hill with the Conservative Flag in November. Horowitz is an old warrior. He's a good place to start.

This past weekend, SNL goofed on the 2012 disaster film by mocking up a fake movie trailer to make the film's title be about Sarah Palin running for president with Glenn Beck as vice-president. I can't find a clip online, but it was amusing. Anyway, today Politico writes:

Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday did not rule out running for president alongside Fox News host Glenn Beck in 2012. Palin was asked during an interview with Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” about the chances that she “would run on a ticket with Fox’s own Glenn Beck,” as the conservative outlet Newsmax reported might be a possibility in 2012. “I saw that, I saw that; he probably got a kick out of that,” Palin said. “It was just a hoot, too, to hear such a thing.” “I don’t know,” she said. “We’ll see, we’ll see.” Palin did...

Glenn Beck tells his nephew not to reenlist because he doesn't trust Obama's commitment to the military! http://www.therightscoop.com/beck-doesnt-trust-obama-tells-his-newphew-not-to-reenlist/

The conservative TV and radio host wants to hold conventions to move his followers to political action and 'change America's course.' Some say his activism could widen the split within the GOP. Glenn Beck wants to become . . . a community organizer. The voluble Fox News television host says he hopes to transform his personal celebrity into political action and has begun to assemble a movement to "change America's course." Beck announced his intentions at a weekend rally at a retirement community outside Orlando, Fla., where he was promoting his new book, "Arguing With Idiots." He continued outlining his...

Opinion Who's Watching Glenn Beck? Much like the Depression-era demagogue Father Charles Coughlin, the Fox News personality is promoting a mass movement. Should his bosses be pulling the plug? By Tim Rutten November 24, 2009 For nearly a century, the Anti-Defamation League has stared unflinchingly into the dark corners of America's social psyche -- the places where combustible tendencies such as hatred and paranoia pool and, sometimes, burst into flame. As a Jewish organization, the ADL's first preoccupation naturally was anti-Semitism, but in the last few decades it has extended its scrutiny to the whole range of bigoted malevolence --...

There’s an old saying I just made up: “Don’t judge the message by the messenger. Judge the message on its actual content.” When I first heard that saying (about two minutes ago), it came to me as I was watching the youtube videos of Glenn Beck’s announcement at “The Villages” here in Florida... The Wrong People Are Winning Because We Let ThemThe wrong people have been “winning” in this country for too long. But, it’s primarily because those of us who know what’s right have been too comfortable in our barcaloungers and designer fashions to stand up and confront them....

Envy is a form of flattery, but don't tell MSNBC "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann. Olbermann, on his Nov. 23 broadcast, didn't stray from his usual shtick of character assaults and name-calling for his "Worst Person in the World" segment. But he did hint his feelings were hurt after he named Fox News host Glenn Beck the third place recipient in this "Worst Person" contest.

Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions.

The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th… All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in...

Um...Let me guess. Nancy Franklin is somewhat less than enamored with Glenn Beck. In fact, she downright hates and despises him as you can see in her New Yorker article. Ironically Franklin accuses Beck of spreading venom in her incredibly venomous story which concludes by comparing him to the character of Lonesome Rhodes in the excellent 1957 film, A Face in the Crowd. A few of the "love notes" tossed in Beck's direction: Glenn Beck, the energetically hateful, truth-twisting radio and Fox News Channel talk-show host, was absent from the airwaves for a week...The persona that Beck has cobbled together...

Jobs that not only help save the planet but usher individuals and neighborhoods out of poverty - talk about a silver bullet. If the promise of green jobs sounds too good to be true, the simplicity of the logic is difficult to resist: Train and hire people who are economically marginalized in work that is critical but has been neglected. Instead of poor people getting stuck at the back of the line, they step to the front of the new technology. The Bay Area's Van Jones was a visionary, early recognizing the social justice potential in the green economy. Jones,...

Yesterday they underlined this message by pointing to reports showing that Mr Obama had failed to convene a single policy meeting of the Senate European subcommittee, of which he is chairman. There was also strikingly robust criticism from an independent Washington think-tank about a “disconcerting void” over transatlantic relations in Mr Obama’s foreign policy, as well as from a former British Minister for Europe. Mr Obama’s advisers say that he has an “intuitive grasp” of world affairs because he spent part of his childhood abroad. “The benefit of my life of having both lived overseas and travelled overseas is, I...

Glenn Beck interview at book tour + Video of Beck at the Villages Retirement Community announcing his plans for next year (Video)

Glenn Beck Stakes Out a More Activist Role in Politics BRIAN STELTER November 21, 2009 Glenn Beck, the popular and outspoken Fox News host, says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action. To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of seven conventions across the country featuring what he described as libertarian speakers.

Glenn Beck [...] says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action. To do so, Mr. Beck is styling himself as a political organizer. In an interview, he said he would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of seven conventions across the country featuring what he described as libertarian speakers. On Saturday he held a festive campaign-style rally in The Villages in Florida, north of Orlando, in which he promoted his recently released book, “Arguing With Idiots,” and announced another book to...

At the Villages in Florida, conservative media superstar Glenn Beck unveiled his hotly-anticipated "Plan" -- a new direction for his program, and for America that he'd been hinting at on the air. On Saturday, Beck told the New York Times that from now on, along with hosting his popular tv and radio shows, he "would promote voter registration drives and sponsor a series of conventions across the country featuring what he described as libertarian speakers." He also said he planned to publish yet another non-fiction book in August 2010. (Beck's five previous books have all been NYT #1 bestsellers.) Already,...

A crowd that had to be several thousand strong came out to Borders bookstore on South Dale Mabry in Tampa this morning to meet and greet (quickly) conservative icon Glenn Beck. The radio and cable television personality sandwiched Tampa in between two other Florida stops on Saturday. He began the day in Lee County, came (late) to Tampa, arriving at about 12:15 p.m., and then went to the Villages, where he made his much hyped announcement that he had been teasing his listeners and viewers about in recent days. According to Orlando television station WOFL: He also said he plans...

Friends, What an amazing few days on the road this has been. Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable. I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat. Today, I have stopped looking for a leader to show us the way out because I have come to realize that the only one who can truly save our country...is us. To change America's course we need to change ourselves, our expectations and our willingness to accept the...

The line looked like a conservative's worst socialized-medicine nightmare, a thousand or more people assigned letters of the alphabet and following commands to snake through multiple turns. But the crowd didn't seem to mind. And when the first glimpse of spiky gray hair emerged through a back entrance by the magazine section, a huge cheer erupted. Conservative media star Glenn Beck spent about 90 minutes signing copies of his latest bestseller, Arguing With Idiots, at the Books-A-Million store in Chasewood Plaza this evening. The stop was part of a two-day, seven-city swing through Florida, the kind of tour political candidates...

Glenn Beck, the controversial Fox News television host, is planning on becoming more active in the populist conservative movement he spawned, according to sources familiar with his thinking. At a rally Saturday at a massive retirement community in central Florida, Beck is planning to unveil what he has billed as a “big plan” for 2010, which is expected to involve the 9.12 Project, the group he started earlier this year and named for the day after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when he says the nation was unified. “Coming this January, my whole approach changes on this program,” he...

It's easy to make fun of Glenn Beck. We've done it here, and Beck even does it himself (as on the November cover of his Fusion magazine). But over the last couple of weeks, as Beck lay recuperating from appendicitis, he's been the target of numerous satirical skewerings, from such parodists as 'Saturday Night Live,' 'The Daily Show,' and 'South Park.' Some of these barbs have gone beyond mocking his on-air antics and have gotten viciously personal. Not that we want to be the Beck-lash police, but to paraphrase a well-known Britney Spears fan, is it time to leave Glenn...
