You've heard that Fox News fired Glenn Beck, right? You heard that Fox couldn't manage him anymore. You read that network president Roger Ailes canned him to stem the rush of advertisers fleeing his program. You saw on the evening news that his program has been shedding viewers so fast Beck can hardly stop crying.

Those headlines and news leads have been repeated so often it’s safe to assume they’re all true. Even Beck’s kids must think their old man got a pink slip.

Except that he didn’t.

The grossly misleading headlines are typical of competing networks and talking heads that prefer a controversial story about sinking ships to the truth. Of course they’re rooting for Fox and Beck’s collective failures; that’s the game plan in a highly competitive marketplace.

Didn’t get Fired. If anything he quit the TV show. He signed a deal with Fox News however. But he sounds like he wants out of the tv show to do something else. He sounded on radio today that he wants to even leave New York City. But I could be wrong. Glenn Beck says a big announcement soon. Beck sounds like he might be planning for the bad times ahead in this country and the try new methods to deliver his message. he told a caller that he maybe finishing his tv show but he will still be around and you will see him daily.

Maybe Glenn is considering a shortwave radio outlet for his show in case if things go bad. Shortwave is relatively easy, you don't need a computer or internet access, you just need a radio.

Glenn Beck is channeling William Cooper.

I remember listening to William Cooper on shortwave radio back in the 1990s.
