A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers.

Haven't heard that word out of the mouth of anyone to the right of Leon Trotsky.
Yeah, I'm a Trotskyite alright... I have more credibility as a Conservative than many people here. I can always count on some freepers to get a little unhinged about semantics sometimes. The word isn't off limits to Conservatives. I would hope that you view it in relative terms. Whether you want to admit it or not and even though I agree with him most of the time, Glenn Beck is a polarizing figure. That's just a fact. An assessment of current political reality. It doesn't mean I've compromised anything. It is also a political fact that Keith Olbermann is even more polarizing. What have I said that was untrue?

Jesus Christ is a polarizing figure as well. Not that I’m comparing Jesus to Glenn Beck, but I’m just saying.
Also Hitler was polarizing and so was Reagan.
So what if someone is polarizing?

Glenn Beck is polarizing enough to affect ad revenue. That’s my point.

What have I said that was untrue?Nothing. The word just gives me the heebie jeebies. Every time I hear it I picture something Janeane Garofaloid. Kinda like Baldur von Schirach and the word culture.

Rush was not good on TV. It was awful and easy to see that he is not a TV kind of guy as he has always said. Love him on the radio but I hope he never does another TV show!!

I think Beck was wrong in saying that Zero is a racist.Twenty years in Jeramiah Wright's church and you think Obama isn't a racist?

Howard Kurtz (of CNN AND WaPo) has been making it a weekly regularity to write negative Glenn Beck articles... in fact Beck has HUGE ratings at Fox in a horrible time slot...

To: Old Teufel Hunden
Beck is not beating Hannity daily in the ratings..

To: Presbyterian Reporter
Last week it was staffers of other shows were uncomfortable, this week it’s execs,... who will CNN’s Kurtz come up with next week?
To: Old Teufel Hunden
Rush can barely do his radio show. He is always taking time off to be on the golf course. He wouldn’t want to work another job.

??? Beck beats Hannity in the ratings on a regular basis...once in a blue moon; Hannity will beat Beck, but not by much.

Notice I posted a correction that not = now, I hit the wrong key and posted before I noticed it.
To: dawn53
You’re right.
I don’t think anyone is doing as good a job as Beck in “educating” his audience.
Sure, he’s silly and dramatic, but there’s meat in every program. He is shining light where no one else will and tackling difficult issues. There’s no one else doing what he’s doing.

My post went up twenty seconds before yours...I thought I was seeing things, because your link was contradicting your statement.

Oh, he can be absurdly over-the-top. Like the day he had the live chicken running around the set. Or Larry the Dead Fish. Or Wade Rathke as a Ken Doll.
