I wrote Glenn an email a few weeks ago- I thanked him for bringing attention and light to situations and people that would likely not get much exposure if not for him. I mean that sincerely.
I also mentioned I’ve never been able to sit through even one of his shows entirely because his drama really irritates. To me- it lessens his credibility and overshadows the important work he’s doing. Too much is about him- he’s unstable and distracting.
The hype, the hysteria keep me from trusting him. I admire and appreciate people with passion- it’s tiresome to watch drab and dull commentators- so it’s not strong feelings that bother me.
It seems there’s developing a kind of worship for him among his fans that’s off-putting. It’s why I can’t stand the Obama cult followers.
When he was on CNN Headline I watched him regularly and liked his show much better then.

I usually don't watch Glen Beck all the way through for the same reasons. When he starts crying, I feel it's showmanship to a certain degree and although he doesn't lose any credibility with me in that regard, it's just unnecessary to his message. We all know we're in incredible trouble with our current leadership. If Beck led us in a simple prayer at the end of his show, he would be taking people in a positive, not angry or depressing direction, while still maintaining his dramatic style. And by doing so, he would concern those in the White House (and all who voted them in) even more, because they are not more powerful than God.
