Glenn cracks me up. He's a scream on the radio at times and has the energy and talent to put together a great show. I'll have to tune into his TV show some time.

I Tivo his show so the data gets collected when my machine calls in every day. Even if I don't get around to watching, I want him to succeed. His show is a breath of fresh air in many ways.

Hmmm, I had Shep on the TiVo in that time slot, but I never watch it. Usually I just watch Hume, and maybe Cavuto.

I'll have to try Beck in that slot.

Somebody needs to post "live threads" for his show and keep them bumped.

One of the reasons I want him to succeed is to put pressure on Fox to come back to our side.

He could have just used lard as the shortening in the cake.

Makes it wonderfully moist, too.

Bacon....Northerners...

For me, outside of Brit, NeilC, and John Gibson, they're pretty much unwatchable. I quit BOR 3 or more years ago, when the size of his ego outgrew the studio. H&C is short attention span "debate" for the ADD, and I'm ADD enough as it is, I don't need any more. And Shep pretty much jumped the shark with his New Orleans histrionics post-Katrina. The only reason he's still on the TiVo schedule is inertia.

Beck asked a straight question but the dad didn't wanr to give a straight answer. Beck is great!

I think this is why Beck could (if given the chance) succeed at TV, especially in interviews. When you're on the radio (as he is) you're used to dealing with indignent callers, or callers who won't admit to a point of view, and your interview skills are honed.

The TV media, in general, seem to have lost the ability to ask the hard questions, and if they do ask them, they don't press for the answer if not given, or call the person on skirting the issue.

A radio person is probably better at that skill, as was demonstrated with the dad in the interviewer...Beck asked the hard questions and wouldn't let the guy off the hook when he tried to "not answer."
