Trouble Between Beck and Fox News?
The (Fred) Grandy Group ^ | September 30, 2010 | Michael Hoffman

Posted on 09/30/2010 6:27:18 AM PDT by Virginia Ridgerunner

Who needs who more? Does Glenn Beck need Fox News or is it the other way around?

Ailes, who declined to comment for this article, has generally been supportive of Beck. But he has also been vocal around the network about how Beck does not fully appreciate the degree to which Fox News has made him the sensation he has become in recent months. In the days following Beck’s Lincoln Memorial rally, which by Beck’s estimate drew a half-million people, Ailes told associates that if Beck were still at Headline News, there would have been 30 people on the Mall. Fox News devoted less news coverage to the rally than CNN and MSNBC did, which Beck has pointed out himself on the air.

The fact that the attacks are ramping up again tells that the Beck Bomber is dropping smart bombs with pinpoint accuracy.

Beck should start his one TV network and pack it with conservatives all day long ... Let Rove run FoxNews ...

If I was at home when Beck’s show was on I would probably watch it. The only time I ever see him now is when he and O’Reilly are telling each other how wonderful they are, and I usually turn it to something else.

He’s a liberal Republican. He used to be on “The Love Boat.”

Beck’s TV show is practically un-watchable..

I would argue that his ratings prove that your statement is not accurate...

Now that’s the truth, CC. Beck last week and this are Grand Slams. With D’Souza on, I am half expecting the lights to be blown out over the network lines.

Do you realize that you accidentally invoked my creator?

Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana Dr. Sivana in WHIZ COMICS #3 There seems to be no doubt that C.C. Beck modeled the Captain Marvel's arch-nemesis, the mad scientist Dr Sivana, on his own neighborhood druggist.

Beck does radio but not the success he is on TV . You made my point , without TV - FOX, where whould he be? Just another conservative talk show radio host.

Obozo (lol) hates all things not socialist/ progressive. I hope he hates me :)

Levin is brilliant—but I doubt he’s the showman Beck is.

Isn’t the difficulty getting ads because of the communists who threaten the advertisers...who are chicken about being boycottted for advertising on Beck’s show?

I really wish we would start strangling the left’s sources of funding as well. There is no reason to allow govt. monies to go to leftists or to protect union extortion under the law.

I predicted some time ago that Beck would end up back on a libbie network. He’s an Andrew Sullivan-like figure to me. Ideologically untrustworthy.

Really. I am not a Comic type. You do have to admit that I missed a period there with my nickname for Cripplecreek, which is ‘CC.’

I do know people that are Comic types, so I’ll ask about this.

What has Fox really done to contribute to Beck’s success aside form the obvious one hour outlet?

Beck is responsible for Beck’s success.
***********************************************************

LOL, are you SERIOUS? Fox is the venue, the stage on which beck is seen by millions. The best of performers would not be successful without an audience to hear them., The relationship is a symbiotic one and it would be best if both Ailes and beck realized this.

That said I’m pretty sure there is nothing to this except the lame stream media attempting to stir up trouble and keep the bed wetting liberals hopeful that some grand catastrophe will cause FNC to go away.

Nonsense.
Show me anyone in this country, who's program is “unwatchable” and still manages to get a massive over 2 million viewers on a 5 pm cable news program, up to 50 % more than all his rivals at 5 pm COMBINED!.
Nice trolling attempt dude!

You hit the nail right on the head. He is too preachy for my taste as well. Church is the right place for that sort of thing. He used to be funny when he lived in Philly but the Big Apple went to his head!

Beck is simply the genius that brought the Shadow Party into the US home in all its ugliness for all to see. I talk to Grandpa and Grandma America every day and they are more informed and combative and ready to commit themselves than I’ve ever seen, and that is why he deserves to be heard. Ailes is the genius who brought Beck into those homes. It is a great working partnership. Every effort by all conservatives and patriots need to be employed to protect that partnership. The Shadow Party smear machine has Beck and Fox as the top enemies - hence their leaders Obama, Pelosi, etc. attack them in print, from the stage and on cable around the clock.
