Was Glenn Beck Ousted From Fox by the Saudis?
diana west.net ^ | April 6, 2011 | Diana West

Posted on 04/09/2011 11:26:29 AM PDT by NOCO229

As a longtime News Corp.-watcher, Prince-Talal-watcher, Talal-News-Corp-watcher, I'm not saying, I'm just saying:

Wednesday, March 30, 2011: James Murdoch, youngest son of Rupert Murdoch, "cemented his position as his father's eventual heir to run the entertainment conglomerate when he was elevated this week to the No. 3 position in the company's executive ranks." To help things set better, he's moving from London to New York.

April 4, 2011: Bill O'Reilly says Pastor Terry Jones "has blood on his hands" after Jones burns a copy of the Koran in Florida and Muslims in Afghanistan murder people.

April 4, 2011: To discuss the mayhem and murder that was the Afghan Muslim response to the burning of a copy of the Koran in Florida, Sean Hannity scheduled Zuhdi Jasser, whose "private" sharia is so irrelevant to classical Islam that his commentary is endlessly confusing at best, and Ahmed Bedier, longtime spokesmodel for a constellation of organization related and linked to such jihad groups as Hamas and Hezbollah,

April 6, 2011: Fox News and Glenn Beck agree to "divorce."

What connects these disparate incidents? Beside a short time-frame, I don't know. I do know James Murdoch is known for his trash talk about Israel (sez the Palestinians "were kicked out of their f— homes and had nowhere to f— live"), his green enthusiasms (News Corp. is the first entertainment conglom to be "carbon neutral") and for being a former hip hop impressario (wow; not my dream date). The 38-year-old is also very, very close to 56-year-old Prince Talal, and was Talal's choice to succeed Murdoch (chalk one up for Talal).

Not one to let politics to get in the way of profits, I am sure, it is also the case that as a Talal-pal (not to mention everything else), James is likely to keep certain things out of the way of Fox politics. I would imagine that Hannity's recent maiden voyages into "sharia" talk (bet that's all over with) and Beck's ongoing explorations of sharia and Islam don't fit his bill. That stuff's been buttoned up for ten years now on Fox; no reason to spoil a good brand now with free inquiry into the ideology that drives our mortal enemies....

There are contracts and lawyers - so he cannot tell you what really occurred. I am not a fan either. The idiots here think Fox Al Waleed is there friend cause they are so addicted to O TV.

By the way it is Paul Revere not River.

Geraldo Riveria real name is Jerry Rivers. Maybe that is what you were thinking of.

I only see Beck about once a week. I’ve heard the mormanism accusations before, but try as I might, I can’t remember seeing any mormanism promotion ever, unless promoting self reliance and preparation for bad times is morman preaching.

I have seen a lot of guests from other religions, but never morman.

Can you give some recent examples?

Money talks. Beck was a advertising revenue disaster.

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

Hey, dumb-ass. If you're going to make a snarky remark about someone, you're suppose to ping them.

Look whose call who a dumb ass. He was talking about you behind your back.

Seesh.

I have been telling people for over a year that Fox Al Waleed is only moderately better than the others. It is all O TV now and it is about CONTROL. Controlling the masses. The public has no clue. The country is going broke and they think that American Idol, The Final Four or football games mean anything.

ALL TV is s***. Fox is the bone you get after being beaten down like a dog. The one channel makes you think you actually might have some freedoms left.

Our poor children and grandchildren - sold into slavery by idiots brainwashed by flickering electrons. What is even more incredible is the people here who are either too stupid or lazy to find out about Al Waleed, Soros, GE, et al.

Find out why TV satellites are FAR more powerful than 20 mega American aircraft carriers. Who makes and owns most of the big sat TV birds - why GE is many cases.

“Bill O’Reilly says Pastor Terry Jones “has blood on his hands” after Jones burns a copy of the Koran in Florida and Muslims in Afghanistan murder people.”

Right on Billy, typical stupid mindset of the crowd that pushes; the gun is evil and guilty, the person who pulled the trigger is innocent, no guns, no crimes.

It is very subtly brought in ...during a time he was doing “history “ lessons he talked about the indians being a lost hebrew tribe.. it might have slipped by if you do not know their doctrine.. also all the food storage stuff.. there are others caught by more alert people than I..but basically he is into cleaning the outside of the cup (works) and outward morality saying that will correct the path our country is on.. somewhat like the Muslims ..an enforced righteousness changes nothing but that is Mormon belief

Yeah, they’re all bad and they’re all nasty. Paint them all w/ the same brushstroke as though it matters not one iota. And then WHAT? Take Fox News out, what do we have left then??? pmsnbc and Communist-News-Network and unionista-npr???

I’ll take all the “bones” as you call them that Fox is giving out. With everyone of these “bones” WE, WE, WE, are making change, REAL CHANGE, in the mindset of the ignorants and useful idiots of this country and WE are changing the status quo and putting the progresso-socialists who were on a roll right in front of our comfortably numb eyes protected only by the fluffy clouds of msm collusionists, on the defensive. For that reason Fox has become the bane of msm and their attack dogs snap and bark each and everyday and they set up their insidious nefarious institutions exclusively to monitor and sabotage at every chance the power-base of this ONE SOURCE of television NEWS and reporting left to the conservatives. NO, I don’t buy it that Fox is as evil, if not more, than the msm. That’s media matters talk.

>>>2. FOX has drifted to left. They are not a conservative network.

Fox never was conservative as a news network. Just not as overtly liberal as the rest is why they appeared conservative.

Conservatives, like Rush says, are not mind-numbed robots.

It’s taken a long time to build Fox, but if Fox goes left and anti-Israel, people will stop watching it. And the MSM will stare up at the sky, talk about how Fox has suddenly become “respectable”, and come up with endless strange ideas about why it suddenly is losing it’s audience.

And some other sharp, smart guy who wants to make money will slowly start to fill that niche. Someone with a mind like Trump who knows what the public wants and has the wherewithal and guts to do it.

This is really the issue. They have won. Like Beck or not, and no matter what the real reason is, they either have won, or they believe they have won. They will choose a new target now.

Beck was ousted because he called Soros a Nazi.

but he (Beck) was right.... .
Soros admitted to it (He did "help" 'em out).

...besides Islam = Liberalism, they have the same goal...
defeat Western Civilization.

I believe it is the “Nature of the Beast”, as far as any media is concerned, to tilt left.

I just want the facts.
