Glen Beck is a modern day Cassandra.
His assessments and predictions are correct ... but ... it’s hard to listen to him ... so ... few do.
you may have nailed it, right there. His style appeals to a very small sliver of the commercial market, which is what Fox News is in the business of serving. Without regard for his views, intelligence, philosophy, etc - he’s not a viable platform for advertizing, and that’s the ballgame.
His ratings are amongst the highest on cable tv. His style both attracts viewers and turns off others. The only person on earth I can think of that would pull a larger tv audience in that time slot would be Limbaugh. Whoever takes the slot will be lucky to pull 50% of the audience.
Always been my take on it too.
His assessments are often correct, but his insistence on peaceful solutions are inconsistent, naive, and perhaps cowardly.

Now that was funny.
He has the third highest radio show in the U.S., and the highest rated television spot in his time slot.
Tells me, many are listening...
