Beck’s becoming more and more hysterical on Fox News recently, a noticeable change from his first couple of weeks worth of shows.

If he goes off shrieking as he does almost daily on his radio show, they’ll dump him. I know they are already getting a ton of complaints about his language in the 5PM time slot.

He has many great points, but if he can’t control himself while on Fox, he’s toast.

JMHO.

I’m not talking about the ‘content’ I’m talking about how he’s delivering it, to be crystal clear. I actually like the Fox News show much better than his radio program.

Really, Interesting. Do you work for Fox? I was unaware they post the letter citing complainants where everyone could see them. Is it on the net? do you have a link? I know a fair amount of people where I work find it interesting and very different because what he is exposing is things you don’t see anywhere else. I guess the public view info will be in the ratings.

I’ll have to see whats out there.

I like his show and his message for the most part but when he interviews a guest he needs to let them talk and he works a little too hard at being even-handed by saying both parties are at fault. Clearly most of what's going on now is the result of Democrat policies from the Clinton era.

I'm also getting a little sick of all the doom and gloom. Are things bad?—Yes. Are they going to be bad for awhile?—Yes. Are the Dems making it worse?—Yes.

But this is still the greatest country on the planet. There are more opportunities here than anywhere else in the world. Even the poorest of Americans would be considered well off in many parts of the world. We had to go through Carter to get to Reagan. History can repeat itself if we just perservere.

Just curious as to how you would know this.

I disagree with you. I think he’s like a lot of us, and feeling very emotional about where this country is headed. I would MUCH rather listen to him, than Hannity, no offense to Hannity, as I like him too...it’s just Beck says more than the same things over and over.

And no, he is not shrieking, nor is he hysterical...far from it. And have you ever watched Fox & Friends? THEY should be taken off Fox...they are morons - JMHO.

Roger Ailes himself recruited Glenn Beck quite strenuously. I am quite sure that Roger Ailes knew exactly the talent that he was bringing on board.

Also, Glenn was the immediate ratings winner in his time slot. Equals Glenn sells ads. Equals Roger likes Glenn even more.

He is not hysterical at all from where I sit. He is, in fact, more loaded with good humor and common sense than the entire cabal in DC.

God BLESS this GOOD MAN and each of his efforts to bring our nation back to the center!

In my neck of the woods we are filling up restaurants around the state to watch Beck's Friday show. It is called Beck Appreciation TV Watch. Soon we will have “Beck Rooms” like Rush now has “Rush Rooms.”

The movement is growing.

B S! On a recent poll Glen has passed Hannity and is right behind O’Reilly in viewers. And this is not just FOX this is all the web talking heads. Not bad for his first month or so on Fox, right.
