Glenn Beck on the edge By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, January 21, 2007

One year ago, he was balking at the idea of doing a TV show on CNN -- so much so that he went kicking and screaming into the initial sit-down with the cable news channel's executives.

"Just so you know," he told

Glenn Beck at CNN is like a Cowboy at a Rap Convention

I think that photo of Steinbrenner was taken during one of the playoff losses to the Tigers.

Glenn Beck is great (except when he does those one-hour interviews (Nancy Grace, Al Sharpton and some former supermodel I never heard of). His ratings are rising rapidly.

I remember! Schnitt is ok....he sure says what's on his mind....but he's not as creative as Glenn and his staff.
Some of the songs Glenn used to 'sing' were a riot!

[4integrity]

ohhhhh, grrrrrr

ok, your guys did good! .....but, wait 'til next year...or the year after...lol

[WilliamofCarmichael]

That is his serious side, a side that caused such liberal luminaries as the bloggers at Daily Kos to encourage their legion of believers to write or call CNN, demanding Beck's removal.

Don't you just love those crass clowns at Daily Cuss?

The most common concern of a poster is, "How many times do I need to use f*** in one sentence to show how I feeeeeeeel?"

I agree, Glenn Beck is great, until he goes anal, either with his pet peeves, or with his infomercial-long interviews with those without any influence whatsoever on national policy.

But "Glenn Beck Hatemail" and its jingle are wonderful. I just wish he'd update it more often.

[LazarusMan]

you are right, sadly he is just clever talking points

Actually he is just a dolt like the rest of us, echoing what we are thinking. Difference is he is a dolt with a television and radio show. Bout time someone said what we all have been thinking.

That's because Sean Hannity hasn't an active brain cell that produces any thought process beyond a sixth grader's Weekly Reader. To compliment his intellectual vacuity, it's clear that he is merely a reader of other peoples'talking points. The poor fellow wouldn't recognize an original intellectual or critically analytical thought if it bit him on the ankle.

[upchuck]

Also It seems he uses his radio show now to promote his CNN show a lot.

I bet he learned all he knows about that from ubber self-promoter Hannity.

[mysterio]

I like Glenn Beck. He's usually entertaining, and I get plenty of monologue from him before the callers start ruining the show. Nothing ruins a show faster than callers.

[BW2221]

Something you'd never hear from Sean Hannity:

"I think the Republicans and the Democrats are both taking us to the same destination -- hell in a handbasket," Beck explained. "One of them is flying on the Concorde, and the other one's taking a very slow steam train, but the destination is the same place."

haha you are right!!

As one of talk radio's most engaging personalities, Beck works with Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his popular daily radio show, The Glenn Beck Program. The show, which debuted in 2001 and is now heard on nearly 200 stations nationwide, is the third highest-rated national radio talk show among adults ages 25 to 54 according to Premiere Research/Arbitron.

That would mean his radio show is just behind Rush and Sean Hannity. ? Bill O'Reilly
