This has been posted 2-3 times. I disagree. Rush is a big draw. Maybe Sarah added to it. I am curious, I bet the 2:00 show drew a pretty nice crowd also, 11 pm in the west.

BTW, Beck polled 2.8 million on Tuesday or Wednesday without Rush or Sarah.

Hmmm...I wonder how the execs that caved into the demands expressed by "Ho, Ho, Ho Green Jobs Czar" and his radical cronies are feeling now, especially in the midst of a nasty recession.

Check out Defend Glenn to counter the pressure the Marxists are dishing out.

Agreed. Rush is a big draw himself and Glen has been highly profiled the last few weeks as a target of the Left.

They need to boot Shep Smith from the 7PM Slot and give it to Beck. Talk about ratings! OReilly’s ratings are king, but Beck, OReilly, Hannity and Van Sustern - Fox would forever own the night.

Shep has pitiful ratings. I am not the only person who changes the channel when he shows his face.

Good for Mr. beck. A man as patriotic and as caring as he is deserves success, and America deserves the information that he is providing. Glenn beck is an American hero, and I love him.

I was gonna say some stuff about O’Reilly and Smith, but on second thought, they aren’t worth discussing.

I agree, I’ve been posting the same thought for weeks. Aside form Beck drawing even more viewers in a 7:00pm slot, BOR would get a wave of Beck viewers tuning into his show, and BOR’s ratings would go up as well. It would be like the ‘27 Yankees of Cable News....

I don’t have a TV... but what is wrong with Shep? Is he a liberal? Or just a babbling idiot?

He's had terrible ratings for the longest time. It's beyond me why Fox keeps him in that time slot (or keeps him at all). Why would they shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Admit it, like me when you heard Glenn Beck on the radio for the first time (He’s relatively new to Pittsburgh since we got an FM talker.) you thought this guy was filler. I took him for one of those “Oh I’m middle of the road, ex-FM jock who is so above partisanship I’m artificially cool and credible.” types.

I thought the guy was a lightweight. I thought he was nothing more than filler between Quinn and Rose and Rush. Today I can’t believe the impact he’s having and the ratings he’s garnering. He actually has ideas and is a true investigator as opposed to Hannity’s “I’m a Reagan conservative.” type cheerleader.

Glenn Beck is doing more reporting and fact finding than any single personality on television. Bar none. I’d put him neck and neck with Savage as far as coverage you won’t hear anywhere else.

Rush, as good as he is, his entire show prep is Matt Drudge’s front page.

I totally agree Beck should be in the 7 pm slot because 5 pm is too early for those of us still not home from work yet by 5 pm.

I always thought the GOP should have had Arnold do the voice over for some TV ad or the convention video with him saying “Sarah Palin” like he did in Terminator when he’s going around asking for “Sarah Connor”.

Good idea... that liberal dufus causes me to change the channel off the Fox News Channel every night, FNC should take note of that.

Um, no. I’ve been aware of Glenn since before the Iraq war and that was never my impression of him. I’ve gone through my periods of liking him to not liking to him, to being over his style to embracing it again and rinse and repeat. But I never bought him as the above partisanship type. Maybe because way back when when I listened to him he wasn’t as anti-Republican as he is today. Sort of like many on this site used to view Bush and the Republican’s success as necessary to their own and soured after one thing or another? I include myself. That’s the direction Beck’s attitude followed. Infact Glenn used to have some sort of rip off of the “Who let the dogs out” out that he altered to feature Bush and he played that over and over the day Bush won re-election gloating.

As for Rush, his gift is analysis. That is what he does, that, uplift, teach and entertain. You’re labeling him as a filter for Drudge entirely misses the point of his existence. If investigative journalism was his interest, it wouldn’t be all that hard for him to do with his money and connections.
