Absolutely ridiculous. Whatever Beck’s ratings were or weren’t, the fact of the matter is he couldn’t get any sponsors better than Goldline and PetMeds. For Fox, it was a simple business decision. Whomever they replace him with, will still probably crush the competition but they’ll do it without the advertising mishigas.

Money talks. Beck was a advertising revenue disaster.

Although his research and putting forth all of the ties and hidden facts about the democrat party and leftists in general is what I liked about listening to him; I have to say that over the last year he has moved way to far from the Constitutional/political aspects into a series of intense religious screeds. He also has gone way into the concept of doom for the country is coming but we should just turn the other cheek, take no actions that might be inflammatory and prepare for the coming dissolution of Constitutional goverenment. That is BS! It very well may come down to a real fight and allowing the Republic and the Constitution to be dissolved because we supposedly can’t take actions that might violate the Constitution to protect and reestablish the Constitution is crap. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

FUBO & FAD

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?

Uh, are you aware that Glenn Beck makes just $2 mil, far less than O'Reilly, Hannity or even Shep Smith. And he has the highest % ratings per time slot audience - even now - than any show on cable...ANY show, even on TLC and Bravo. I myself have advertised on Beck's show 6 months ago. And based on the ad rates and a count I did, I 3estimate Fox's yearly revenue for his show is above $25 million. They don't ever promote it. They make a handsome profit on it.

But what my sources have told me is that Beck is HATED at Fox. Despised. What they really can't stand is how much money he makes OUTSIDE of Fox - far more than O'Reilly. He made a staggering $33 million in 2010 OUTSIDE Fox. The brass doesn't like it. And they hated his 8/28 and how he used his show to promote what they saw as his own self-promotion that didn't help the network. Ailes is on RECORD confirming that sentiment, saying Beck owes his wealth to Fox.

Bin Talal is on record as bragging that he got FoxNews to stop using the chyron term "Muslim Riots" with a single phone call to Ailes during the Paris MUSLIM riots 3 years ago. And James Murdoch is a notorious dhimmi and Israel-hater. Beck says to "pray for Israel" every week. This chick is definitely on to something.

That says that the democrats campaign to chase away sponsors was effective and might be something the right should try to emulate more.

They have sponsors for shows they like.
Chase off their sponsors and see how long the shows they like last without them.

Sometimes I think we should give the same as we get

That’s what makes no sense he was getting stellar rating but no ad revenue? Those two things don’t go together. It’s an either or thing, not both.
