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.

The times I have watched Beck he did not seem over the top.
Never even seen an Apple ad on Fox before. Not saying there isn't any, buy there couldn't have been that many as to make any difference. I'd say "boycott Apple", but then I never bought any overpriced Apple product in my life before.
” Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers”
Yeahh...that's why Fox made more money than CNN and by far more money than MSNBC.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post itself is suffering badly:

This is yet another attempt by the Marxist 0bama regime to shut up Glenn Beck and any other opposition media in the run up to the November elections. It's not working. Beck's ratings are just too damn high for anyone to be able to touch.
Has FOX ever entertained the idea of giving Rush an hour?
Can’t afford him, I’ll wager..
Colonel, USAFR
Why do we refer to the left loons as the MSM? If anything they are far from the mainstream and foxnews rating prove this.
Hannity is for kids.
Beck is a master’s degree.
“Limbaugh and Hannity were ecstatic when GM finally advertised with them. GMs put an end to that”
I wonder if the fact it’s known as Government Motors and Obama has a vested interest in the company might have something to do with that?
He did say “white folks greed runs a world in need” in ‘dreams from one of my fathers’.
RUSHHOUR???...Great old mob movie!!!
“I like Beck’s show so don’t take this the wrong way, but I find his guests are starting to repeat too often and they lose the interest overtime. The theme apears to be Beck has his friends on the show a lot...but why? Can he not get anyone else? “
Repetition of important information from people that know what they are talking about.
I’m not up for a talking head slug-out. You learn nothing other than who has the freshest talking points.
Rush’s medium is radio. He is definitely not a TV guy.
I mean he can get others that say the same thing but in a different way or takes a different angle on it. It will help advance the message to those that dont’ get it or that already fully understand the existing message but may not know they are missing a few key things.
Thanks for raising those good points. I agree with you, and realize they aren’t going to move their hay-maker. And that’s okay with me.

With the new monthly subscriber fees that Fox just negotiated with Time Warner Cable (I hears it's 99 cents per subscriber, instead of the previous 49 cents per subscriber in this chart above), and soon will with the other cable companies, their profits this year should be much higher than CNN's.
And moved to libworld south in Palm Beach! LOL!
While I certainly agree with you, I’m sure glad FoxNews seems to value it’s hosts more than the bottom line, at least in part.
The people I talk to love Beck. Some folks that won’t listen to Limbaugh tune it see Beck on a regular basis. I’m sure we agree that’s a good thing.
Yeah, you’re probably right...but all those libs moved there to get away from NY too.
Now is the time we MUST do the same
Socialism is NOT a legitimate form of government...it is force over the people against their free will ...
Redistribution of wealth by force is not acceptable...it is force over the people against their free will to create and/or give wealth of their free will..
These must be OUR political correct standards ... Socialist acts (by government force) are not to be tolerated in polite or acceptable society...
It is force, it is rape by force of the individual person by thugs ...
It is not just a word like the "N"-word or words of violence or words of rape...
Socialism (by government force) is violence, it is rape of the people and is not to be tolerated or it's advocacy in any way shape or form in polite or acceptable society...
Socialism(by government force)is an idea to be drived out of acceptable society like the idea's of a Nazi or a Klanman's for they are one in the same
And because its a pain in the rear to do TV.
Its not as “simple” as sitting in front of a microphone and talking for three hours. And THAT is no simple feat—try it some time. I did. On a local radio station. After the first hour, into a three hour show, I had literally run out of things to talk about....and no one was calling in. Think: Imus flop sweat.
TV is worse because it is also needs to be visually stimulating.
Doing both well requires a Herculean effort.
