Well then, perhaps it’s a real story The Blaze just isn’t ready to post yet.
Drudge Siren.
Beck and Kelly are the only ones I give time for now.
Matha Mc ,Shep smith the fairy, Hannity the coward who will not mention conservative social issues and is a fraud, O.R big arrogant gobshite are all the ones who need to go for good.
FOX has been going down for some time due to them trying to please media matters, Soros and obama
One less Romney hack, on the air. no great loss..
When Beck sticks to his chalkboards he provides an invaluable and very educational service.
This makes sense. Moving from the circus acts like O’Really and Hannity. Special reports is more the genre for Beck.
media matters, Soros , liberals, socialists , communists and the establishment GOP plus the bigots towards his religion will be happy is Beck goes that is for sure
Glenn Beck will end his daily Fox News Channel program later this year.
His departure was jointly announced in a statement on Wednesday by Fox and Mr. Becks company, Mercury Radio Arts. The statement did not specify an end date for the show, called Glenn Beck, which has been telecast at 5 p.m. on Fox News since early 2009.
Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, which have sometimes clashed over the making of Glenn Beck, will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News digital properties, the companies said in the statement.
As expected, a senior Fox News executive, Joel Cheatwood, will join Mr. Beck at Mercury Radio Arts starting later this month.
