I can’t stand BOR any more... he’s gotten so out of touch with reality in recent years and I feel has sold his soul for ratings and book sales. Sad.
Hannity is boring....Beck is much more informative and entertaining.
Unfortunately ... you are right.
It’s time Fox gave Beck the 10:00 spot, and Ingraham the 7:00 spot. Greta is just trash.
The relevance is that the ratings showed that Beck is beating Hannity. Someone mentioned how low the ratings for the networks that weren’t talking about Van Jones were, and Glenn Beck is the one who started talking about Van Jones on cable. Hannity didn’t credit Beck for starting it.
Considering Beck also has a 9-12 morning radio program, an evening TV show would be tough on him and his family. So 5pm is a good time slot and 7pm or later would make for some very long days and too much time away from his family.
I’d like it the other way around—Glenn at seven and Laura at ten.
Aw...Glenn could do it!
Just keep on feeding him M&Ms for energy!
What I think FNC should do is simply swap Beck & Smith. It would give Fox an early news program and give Beck a larger audience. He would crush the competition.
Screw Hannity.
I agree Hannity is a echo chamber. I can not listen to him too long and I can watch him even less long.
BUT, repeating simple facts so that more and more people hear them is a very important function.

Yeah, those Freedom Concerts that he headlines which has generated millions and millions of dollars for the education of our lost soldiers’ children is totally unoriginal. How many millions of dollars have you raised for that or any cause?
Laura was a co-host on MSNBC years ago and more recently, Fox tried her in the 5 pm slot before Glenn Beck. Her ratings were abysmal (by FNC standards)—no better than those of John Gibson, who was her predecessor in that time slot. She’s much better as a fill-in host, although I believe Michelle Malkin is a better sub for O’Reilly than Laura.
Perhaps the most amazing aspect of Beck’s success is the fact that CNN let him go. He was doing the same kind of show on HLN and he had that network’s second-highest rated show (behind Nancy Grace), despite the fact that CNN never promoted it. At 5 pm on FNC, Beck is absolutely demolishing the competition. CNN would absolutely kill for any show with that kind of audience.
Oh, I heard better ideas than that. Let me think. On the plus side, Shep would be gone. On the minus side, well there is no minus side. I guess that is the best idea I have ever heard.
Sean has his shortcomings, but he invites the enemy into his studio on a regular basis on Fox and radio. Beck invites like minded people and then asks questions and answers them himself, kind of like Mike Francesa. Both Sean and Glenn are valuable to the cause of liberty but I am getting pretty disgusted with the jealousies being displayed. Mark Levin despises Beck. Savage hates all of them. Rush is more magnanimous, but he’s wary of his position as Numero Uno. I realize they’re entertainers as well but I think they need to be less self absorbed and more on the same page.
O'Reilly sided with Whoreldo in a dispute between him and Malkin some time back. The infrequent times we now watch BOR, we turn him off immediately when he brings on Whoreldo.
Michelle Malkin is a guest frequently on Hannity - and we'll watch his show just to hear what she has to say then turn it off when he does his panels.
My thoughts, exactly! (no pun intended).
For the life of me, I cannot fathom what the draw to Hannity is.
AS for me, Mark Levin is the sharpest sword in the fight for conservatism.
Probably 'cuz Beck is a believer in limited government & calls himself a libertarian (little "L"). Libertarians & big-government Republicans (Neo-cons) don't mix.
