I knew this was coming. No one watches his show. I watch Fox first and foremost and I just never could stand Beck. Apparently he gets ALL his talking points from Alex Jones. At least that's what I read in a recent article.

He left to go fuck Nancy Grace while watching Nazi propaganda videos, eat sauerkraut and breed the Anti-Christ in a zero-g environment while shoving a propane tank up his own ass with no lube.
It's going to be a busy afternoon for him tomorrow.

People something is happening here.
What is happening to our country?
This country is transfoming into something very bad.
And why? because we have leadership that doesn't care.
Ever since The democrats took over this country has turned into some socialist regime where people no longer have a voice.
Our country is dying, you can feel it. And like me you want to change it, but oh no barack obamas not gonna let that happen.
this is not the country we grew up in ...........and I dont know if we can get it back.

AFK..being taken to the vet to get neutered.
Can I give you crap for having to point out your own parody in order to avoid non-paradoxical reactionary comments?

As I understand, he is in talks with the Westboro Church guys, you know, build the new nationwide media outlet:
The old man there seems to burn himself out, can't purely live on hate forever.
Beck is fresh and so much more entertaining!

He finally went completely off the reservation ...
Here is Glenn Beck in a nutshell ... he was never a news correspondent, journalist or even really an analyst. One of the first people I noted pointing that out was, ironically, Bill O'Reilly when someone mentioned that CNN had Beck, who was right leaning. I remember laughing out loud at the airport, saying, "true."
He was a radio personality who moved into TV at CNN. Then he moved to right-wing TV, Fox. But at Fox, he built something unexpected, but not-so-unexpected to me ... a "cult of personality."
He kept having to one-up himself, go more radical, started inventing conspiracy theories. People ate it up. But more and more he took it way too far. He started losing the same base that tuned into him. Eventually he'd hit on every minority viewpoint, from the Irish to the Jewish. And he alienated significant portions of his fanbase.
Why? Again, he's not a news correspondent, journalist or even really an analyst. He had no foundation. There are people at Fox who do, even though they are often right wing (and very right wing because there's not another right-wing TV outlet so it's so concentrated).
I don't hate Glenn Beck. But he does come off as a scolding teacher that is really ignorant and reaching for a story. Some analysts do that as well (Bill O'Reilly is extremely arrogant, and that's his thing -- and he gets a kick out of those who parody him too), but they are not so ignorant, and not inventing stories (even if they are analyzing with a major, political agenda).
I have always ignored Glenn Beck. Now more people are doing the same.
There are reporters.
There are journalists.
There are analysts.
Glenn was neither ... ever.
I never watch analysts. The only time I see them is when I'm at an airport and CNN or FNC is on. They just remind me why I don't watch them. They all have political agendas. I'll give quite a bit of left from MSNBC (they don't have a neutrality statement, but even they are trying to tone-it-down lately), and a massive, dose of right-wing radiation when I see several on Fox.
But Beck was never even an analyst, and literally built the classic "cult of personality" that is self-destructive.

The key is recognizing he's never been news.

Lurky no pro choicey? :dunno:
I'm a big fan of simply allowing the marketplace decide what is or is not popular.
BTW- I confess to have never seen a minute of Glen's show. . . like I'm supposed to be a couch potato at 2pm weekdays?
