Go ahead...call me paranoid...
But I can’t help but wonder if The Head Honchos of CNN decided that
the last thing they needed was to have Glenn Beck on CNN/Headline News
during the crucial last days of Election ‘08.

So that the top-dogs of CNN wouldn’t risk being DIS-invited to the
Limousine Liberal Cocktail parties in case The ObamaMessiah is
NOT elected to be President of The United States of America.

Glenn Beck
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck

On October 16, 2008 it was announced that Glenn Beck would join the
Fox News Channel, leaving behind CNN’s Headline News. The new show
is set to begin in Spring 2009 and will air nightly at 5:00 PM Eastern time.

I don’t blame you for being paranoid...but let me explain...

Glenn has a contract- only during the “end” of the contract are you able to even discuss and negotiate moving to another network..

Glenn followed his contract, and signed onto FOX...

I bet you Glenn’s contract is not actually up until Spring of 09...

So— CNN still pays him the remainder on his contract, but pull his show...they are not bound to air his show, but are bound to pay him as long as Glenn does not break the contract...

in Glenn’s contract, I am sure he is not allowed to appear on any other networks...otherwise you would see him at least “contributing” and appearing on other networks...

CNN just yanked his show off the air- but he will lose the money they still owe him if he goes on TV before that contract is up...

FOX would have done the same with any of their main show personalities...

I think Fox grabbed GB because he was cutting into Shep's ratings. I don't know that for a fact I can't get the rating comparison.
