On any given day, Glenn Becks show at 5:00 PM Eastern on Fox News, has better ratings than Foxs Greta Van Susterens show that runs at night, prime time shall we say. Susteren, regardless how weak she is versus the others in the evening at FNC, is still stronger than the hot-heads on MSNBC and the losers at CNN. Therefore, it is strange the Drudge Report-posted pending NYT story that Fox and Beck will part ways.
Indeed, Beck being extreme may be the reason as to why Beck may end his career at Fox. However if he is extreme, in addition to having ratings way better than Maddow, Shultz and others, maybe MSNBC should hire Beck
I posted here a week or so ago when Oprah was loosing $ that he would buy her channel on the cheap when she goes chapter 11.
Too soon for that, but He is following her business model.
IMHO he wants his own empire, he has a website, a radio show, the Insiders and now "The Blaze".
It is not enough for him, he is driven. My guess he is looking to lauch his own channel on cable or the Web.
He is constantly hinting on the radio show of new things.
My gut tells me we haven't seen the last of him, he will appear on his own channel, whether it is cable, space-based, internet based ( my guess the latter) is yet to be seen.
On the right, just below DRUDGE REPORT.
Yeah, I have a low budget. I look for what I can afford.
Cheesy underpants!
Oh well, life goes on.
Beck’s problem is that the sky never ends up falling, as he preaches. He speaks a lot of truth but wants America restored immediately and that ain’t gonna happen- God has His own timetable and we must be patient while evil has its brief moment.
The tide comes in then goes out.This happens a few times in a persons life (see:1979-81)
Americas enemies will soon be kissing Americas feet.
I'm sure he will be replaced by Fareed Zakariah or something along those lines...given the new Fox ownership.
I feel like causing trouble...Whose in?
His departure from FOX may just have been ordered from ‘higher up’.
The Saudis own part of FOX.
Although I generally agree with him, I find it hard to watch Beck for very long at a time.
So far there is no evidence of this other than some lame blog.
Any flatulent retard can write any dang thing on a blog.
Beck is like all “recovering” whatevers; they never recover, they just find other obsessions/addictions. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, but he is nuts. His new obsession is blackboards. He has a “beautiful mind”.
“The reason we have a chance today is because of Beck”.
Beck has done his job well IN CERTAIN AREAS. and that is not to discount Levin, Rush and Savage. They are all part of the Conservative movement in their own way.
I agree with the Freeper who said that Beck has peaked. Where his shows used to be riveting most of the time, they are now interesting some of the time.
He is great at informing the voters about Progressivism and it’s history, perps like Van Jones, Valerie J. and Bam himself.
But he has taken it to another level on his show, and one, IMO, where he doesn’t belong! He is preaching and claiming to be an authority on way more topics than he is prepared to discuss...ie, He is too far “out there” and might be in over his head.
And I believe he will leave Fox. He is restless(it’s obvious) and wants to do other projects..and undoubtedly, make more money.
It will probably be a mutual parting of the ways.
Rupert should have put him in Shep’s spot long ago.
I won’t miss watching him giggle and wince in his lame exchanges with B’OR, however...
To quote Will Smith in Hancock......"Call me bluehair one more time"
That would never happen with that evil station unless the new owner is going to completely change direction and go right wing.
I do like his current spot because of the high ratings.
I wave those ratings in the face of the liberals at my local Pub.
I enjoy Beck’s TV show. I have to admit I like it more than his radio show. His TV show is more condensed and to-the-point.
Beck is an entertaining educator. Everyone else is either a pundit or polemicist or political hack.
Glenn Beck is a history class for the home-schooled and those who have forgotten or never learned our past.
And he generally makes it entertaining and palatable for the Ritalin. class.
I am tired of soundbites. Sometimes it takes a blackboard.
By your name I would guess you are of Dutch heritage.
Maybe you can get Beck on the right track in regard to Geert Wilders. He has not done this great man justice - that is about my only quibble with Beck.
Troll thick thread, way to go.
Yeah, they are true, the facts, and we f’d.... The only solution is war and the end of the corruption in Washington.... Get a f’ng clue....
My first thought was that a large chunk of Fox was bought a few years back by a Saudi billionaire. Can you say manipulation and pressure by the Saudis? Beck has been doing a lot of shows on the ME and the confederation of Islamics that is forming. They don’t like someone spreading the truth about what is really going on...
Listening to Calcutta as I type.
Next up...
Xavier Cugat’s version of Calcutta.
I like Beck, but...
He just needs to get to his points quicker.
If Fox keeps Juan liberal Williams, they are sure going to keep Glenn beck...
