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.
Ah, are you aware that his two main sponsors are Goldline and PetMeds. I don't care if Beck is getting a billion people an hour, no one, and I mean no one, wants to pay to advertise on his show.
Cavuto and Baier get all the auto manufacturers, IBM, Microsoft, etc.. - big name after big name, but Beck gets PetMeds.
Fox is a business FIRST. They owe it to their shareholders to maximize profits. Period.
Prince Al Waleed. Fox is a Saudi outfit but so is TW/CNN and Disney/ABC. Al Waleed is the #2 shareholder in Disney and prety much bailed out Euro Disney.
Beck’s radio show is #3 in country. He is too wishy washy and erratic for me. I laugh at idiots who think Fox News in any way is your friend. The elites throw you a bone to think you have some freedom.
Beck was forced to drink the anti-birther Kool Aide with O Reilly (gladly drank it), Ingraham, Coulter, Medved, Hewitt, Boortz and a few others. They came out making fun of birthers on almost the same day. If you were in their place you could just say - no I don’t agree. Instead they called birthers crazy.
These people are media puppets. Rush and probably Savage arfe the only ones who can do or say what they want.
