The Beck Factor at Fox: Staffers say comments taint their work
Washington Post ^ | 15 Mar 2010 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 03/29/2010 11:06:42 AM PDT by for-q-clinton

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.

Apple didn’t invent the MS Constant Computer Crash Program.

You need to get with Windows 7 dude. Been using it for over 2 year since beta. Never crashed even once.

oh boy, a bunch of PC dweebs battling a bunch of apple elitists....

get out the popcorn

Glenn Beck what?

I hope to crap Fox does not slowly crumble and sell out.

I think we need Beck out there to capture that portion of the audience who likes a little wackiness whilst getting a conservative POV

So it took 7 tries to get it right? I saw the W7 commercial last night and asked my wife the same thing.

Why would I continue to buy numerous versions of the same defective product. My next CPU will be a MAC. My daughter has one and it has never crashed.

Until Barry restricts my choice....

If FOX News boots Beck, they will at the same time say good-bye to a huge audience of conservatives.

Has FOX ever entertained the idea of giving Rush an hour?

Rush not going back to NYC. Show would have to be from Florida.

Quote: “While Beck has his amusing moments, I am not comfortable listening to him. He is too fervent. He could be sand in the gears of the GOP efforts to regain Congressional seats if the Dems are successful in painting him as the face of the GOP.”

Thanks for the Daily Kos update. Beck is very popular and is right now with nearly all of what he says. The only divisiveness I see is coming from the left and people like Keith Olbermann.

Now the one guy calling Beck the 5pmer should calm down and relax because they are all on the same page.
Hosts are allowed to disagree on some points you know.

No.
I have another computer with Vista on it. I enjoy using it nearly as much, even though Win 7 is my favorite.

Why would I continue to buy numerous versions of the same defective product”

If you like, I will post a list of various defects that have come up with various versions of Apple OSX from CNET.

My next CPU will be a MAC”

This is America. You can buy whatever you like. Equally, the over 90% of personal computer buyers that prefer to buy Windows PC’s are free to buy what they like as well. It all works out fine for everyone.

“Beck has called Geert Wilders a “fascist” and has ridiculed the Birthers.....why is the Liberal media upset?”

Don’t know who Geert Wilders is and how that would help defeat Obama, but I’ll take Beck anyday over the idiots on MSNBC.

As for the Birthers...Let it slide. Others can deal with it. Beck has is now agenda as does others like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

“The people I talk to love Beck. Some folks that won’t listen to Limbaugh tune it see Beck on a regular basis. “

I can see people play favorites and that is fine with me. Plus not everyone call follow everything. Sadly, it seems at times people want to fight over hosts and commentators and shows on the right.

I get the backlash to Michael Savage though and to Bill O’Reilly. It happens because we do not always agree with the hosts.

Correction: Meant Beck Has his own Agenda. It doesn’t include the Birth issue.

Hmmm, there are 3 models of iPhone in one form factor only available from one carrier in the US. Android phones are on all 4 major US carriers, T-Mobile has 3 carrier subsidized plus the Nexus One. Sprint and Verizon both have 2 in two different form factors. AT&T has one subsidized plus the Nexus One. There are a lot more ways to get an Android phone in your hands. I would guess that if the rumor are true about a Verizon iPhone the iPhone’s numbers will again spike.

As for Windows Phone 7, it is funny that they are copying the two major gripes about the iPhone, no multitasking and apps only from the app store.

Tuesday, Mar. 23

Possible. But then Apple shot themselves in the foot by going with only one carrier(arguably the worst) in the first place. Google was much smarter about it. And, Android has cut and paste, and multitasking, unlike the iPhone. Google essentially gave consumers what they want: You can stay with your current carrier and get the features that the iPhone lacks.

As for Windows Phone 7, it is funny that they are copying the two major gripes about the iPhone, no multitasking and apps only from the app store.”

I still don't get that. Robbie Bach, who runs Microsoft’s E & D Division (includes Windows Mobile), should have been sacked long ago.
