Top television and radio host Glenn Beck said in an interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News that he regrets some of his time at the cable network, when he hosted his own show, and admitted that he ratcheted rhetoric that helped drive a political wedge in America.
"I remember [my time on Fox] as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes," Mr. Beck said on Fox News on Tuesday night. "I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart."
He also said if he could hit the rewind button, that he'd focus more on uniting, not dividing.
"I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language," he said, Politico reported. "I didn't realize how really fragile the people were...
Mr. Beck's show ran on Fox News between 2009 and 2011...

Loved how he “educated” us with his many shows on the tangled web of the Communists w/in our country......but I suspect he got most of his material from David Horowitz.
I appreciate his work on this....but I am becoming tired of his show. Pat is amusing....but, for goodness sake....Stu is boring as SNOT....as well as Jeffy. It’s tiring.
I still tune in but I’ve found myself turning on Chris Plante for a refreshing change in the morning.
-— I just get the impression that Beck is emotionally unstable. -—
He’s not without his flaws. But I like him. The good he has done far outweighs the bad.
Oh great, next thing you know Beck will cry on script. (Ask Schnitt).
Ever since the first time I listened to him on AM radio he came across to me as a used car salesman and I don’t know why.
No, he is taking money from undesirable elements to build what he thinks is an empire to save America... he thinks GOD is guiding him... he says so... and the men that have the money to back him have agendas... and he must meet their demands or he will lose every cent that he has... which he has sunken into his media machine. Beck is in self preservation mode, driven by the same delusion that obama was driven by... “We are the ones that we have been waiting for”... he has a messiah complex... and it is on display every morning.
>> “I don’t understand why he’s throwing dirt on that.” <<
.
He’s having his John Roberts moment.
Amen Gris... I try hard to vanquish hate from my heart. I do not hate Beck or even dislike the man. I have no respect left for him. I did at one time... but respect is earned and once lost... is mighty hard to regain.
Whataqueen
You took the words right out of my mouth. That was exactly the first thought that came into my mind.
I suppose we need to 'sugar coat' the truth now in his eyes.
and on what basis do you think he does???
wish he would have given us more hope though...and more concrete ideas to change things or ways to prepare other than buying gold...
Levin has given us more info on how to change the course through the Constitution.
you obviously need to answer the phone...Alex Jones is calling.... oh and pass the tin foil please
Mr. Beck is fooling himself. The country is in permanent decline with or without him.
I agree with FREEPERS who have said he had done a lot of good.
His special on Soros was EXCELLENT.
But does he think we need more wishy washy conservatives?
Had this been his approach I don’t think most of us would have ever heard of him.
Gawd! These narcissistic azzholes give themselves waaaay too much credit.
Beck is going “Kinder/Gentler”. Where have I heard that before? That is so weird... it is like someone else already tried that tactic.
Are we sure this sudden change of heart didn’t come right after he received some printouts from the NSA. Sort of reminds me of Robert’s flip on Obamacare
What happened to Beck?
His only strong point was that he spoke honestly and unapologetically about the subject at hand.
So what if he torqued a few million liberal jaws?
Now he is backing down like run-of-the-mill liberals and politicians.
