The Five>Beck

So much for fair and balanced, btw, right, Kincaid?

Kincaid’s premise is absurd. The point is to have more discourse, rather than less.

Plus, as much as I enjoyed watching Beck, the Five is a much better show. Glenn’s doing his own thing now, and I wish him well.

We ( us over here) call on MSNBC to give News professional Al Sharpton at least one more hour in primetime to expand his views and bellow his heart out. He is a perfect example of the modern liberal and he needs time to show America where he’s coming from, which is the Bronx.

CNN’s  Blitz needs to give that grouchy guy at least half of his show to complain. This delights progressives as much as they enjoy playing with a ball of yarn or building simple structures with their Lincoln Logs. 

Although I agree with Kincaid’s assesment that Fox is going more middle of the road, and I detest Sally Kohn as a Leftist hack, I do enjoy the Five more than when Glen kinda went off the rails with his show on Fox. Lou Dobbs and Glen Beck were both attacked while on CNN by Media Matters for America back when they were not known for their Bias against fox. CNN caved in to the calls for boycott and canned commentators who had a following. CNN ratings tanked after Lou and Glen’s departure only to be replaced by the Stupidest- Man- On -TV -Rick Sanchez. Now CNN seems to be headed in the right direction with Dana Loesh, maybe they can climb above MSNBC.

The Glenn Beck “circle jerk” Radio show needs to be broadcast on FOX from Glenn’s  secret playhouse location.

Glenn, Fox News doesn’t want you, that’s why they fired you!! Lol!!

Does anyone read this anymore?

Seriously WTF is going on with the Right Wing?  They’re like dog poop all over the place.

I had to check and read the parent comment even to see what you were talking about. So I guess that answers your question ;-)

But beck said he left because HE wanted to.  Remember?

“Fox News has been disintegrating since Soros-funded groups forced Glenn Beck off the air,”

No, Soros groups did not force Beck off Fox. Beck forced Beck off Fox, and he won’t be going back.

On Monday afternoon, March 28, Fox News
chairman Roger Ailes summoned Glenn Beck to a meeting in his office on
the second floor of News Corp.’s midtown headquarters to discuss his
future at the network. Ailes had spent the better part of the weekend at
his Putnam County estate thinking about how to stage-manage Beck’s
departure from Fox, which at that point was all but inevitable. But, as
with everything concerning Glenn Beck, the situation was a mess,
simultaneously a negotiation and a therapy session. Beck had already
indicated he was willing to walk away—“I don’t want to do cable news
anymore,” he had told Ailes. But moving him out the door without
collateral damage was proving difficult.

Beck is exactly where he wants to be, he’s got his hands full of things to do, and he doesn’t have to answer to or ask permission from anyone.

Haha! Leedog is utterly wrong again.

No thanks Mr. Kincaid

It’s not a secret, and it’s a hell of a playhouse.

http://www.tmdailypost.com/article/entertainment/glenn-beck-s-new-irving-production-studio

You’re thinking of Occupy, and that ain’t dog poop.

what a raving lunatic.

The show that replaced Beck consists of four partisan Republicans: Greg Gutfeld, Andrea Tantaros, Dana Perino and Eric Bolling.

Bob Beckel is the token Democrat.  Give me a break.  If you can’t handle listening to one Democrat on a panel with four republicans, you’re a god damned crybaby.

Tee hee haa You said Beck! Tee hee..

“Let’s make a deal,” Ailes told Beck flatly.

During a 45-minute conversation, the two men agreed on the terms: Beck would give up his daily 5 p.m. program and appear in occasional network “specials”—but even that didn’t solve their problem. Tensions flared over how many specials he would appear in. Fox wanted six, Beck’s advisers wanted four. At another meeting, Beck choked up; he and Ailes had always had a bond. And when Ailes thought Beck’s advisers were jerking him around, he threatened to blow up the talks. “I’m just going to fire him and issue a press release,” he later snapped to a Fox executive.”

http://nymag.com/news/media/roger-ailes-fox-news-2011-5/

He was fired, without actually saying “You’re Fired!!”… it would have been too embarrassing to Ailes to have the Liberals claim victory!!

How many specials has Beck done for Fox News?? Answer: 0

Darn, I didn’t hear that Tinfoil Hats were on sale this weekend!

How many times has he been back on Fox News? At least a dozen. You fail.

and  after all, it is always special when he’s there,

okay that was a good one.

Correct me if I’m wrong, which I’m sure you will but, isn’t TV all about market shares, viewership, sponsors, money? Fox and MSNBC have their purposes, and the sponsors to support them. If a show/timeslot, becomes unprofitable, it will change. 

I am just thankful that I currently live in a country that censors it’s press and I don’t even have the option of watching any of these shows except the snippets I see on the web. I also don’t have to watch any of the political ads. Life is good.

Now that is solid proof!

I think Glenn Beck is better off where he is.

Hahaha, you’re a true believer, aren’t you?

I agree, in his bunker deep underground in Texas.

more like a special ed class b/w him and ‘the judge’

Kincaid is just another fine example of a wingnut beckerhead. He has these people brainwashed.

I don’t know about special, but how many times have you seen Olbermann on MSNBC lately? Or Rick Sanchez on CNN?

Fired people don’t get invited back.

No, you’re a true believer. I’m a person who can read.

Pro Tip: Don’t drink the Kool Aid.

Some bunker.

http://bestplaces.nydailynews.com/voyeur/glenn-beck-move-texas-rents-20000-month-house

I think he agrees, which is why he went there.

Even with Beckel outnumbered 4:1, the mindless Fox drones are still bellyaching over his presence!

he certainly wasn’t fired in disgrace, yet it’s very clear they don’t want  him there anymore. 

I agree with you in that Soros could not force Beck off Fox. Beck forced himself off Fox because he is nothing but a paranoid lunatic, and his paranoid predictions never came true. He had to take a break from that, but more importantly, only other paranoids give a dam about him.

And that is what everybody who gets fired says to everybody else.

What ever happened to those specials? The time for them to happen has passed, has it not?

So the “specials” lasted about ten minutes each, or were they shorter than that?

I believe sir, you have a solid point

Wait, something is freaking wrong here. Why si the Amazon banner on top displaying what I presonally looked up on Amazon.

Hah, you’re such a believer that you actually do believe!

You do read, anything that they tell you to believe. You’ve done drank the kool-aid, son.

You’re projecting on me without any evidence of me believing in anything except maybe NPR.

I thought your consistent defense of all things wingnut was a partisan hack joke, like a game.  Now, I think I was all wrong.  You actually are a certified right wingnut, with no shame.

In your eyes, you see this as a compliment, I’m sure…

SOROS!!!

The chances of Beck coming back to FOX are probably zero, but I can understand the desperation of his followers to get him back on a major outlet. I don’t even think Beck understood the power that FOX gave him compared to the little private thing he has going for him now, which I don’t think will last much longer. Blaze and GBTV are not really prospering or reaching an audience asides from his most committed acolytes.

Kincaid, the Beck promoter is probably right when he detects a slight shift to the left on FOX. Murdoch prizes money and power more than ideological purity. When Tony Blair came to power in Britain, Murdoch, when he saw that Blair was probably going to be elected and kick the Tories out, shifted all his media support to Blair, which insured his victory. The way things are going against the Republicans I wouldn’t be surprised if Murdoch pulls a switcheroo here.

But Beck got better ratings…the one fact missing from this article.

Probably Fox Business Channel.

You can tell by how they keep inviting him back.

I appreciate the honesty, Dan.

Who said those were specials, and why do you ask? Is that because Fox announced that they’d re-signed him to do specials? And this is how you know he was fired? Knock knock! Anybody home?

I see your utter unwillingness to assess the evidence in front of your because you’re so invested in the narrative that’s popular with Progressive and left wing nutjobs for some undiscernable reason. Me, I’m looking at known facts, and on-the-record statements of the parties involved. That’s not me projecting, that’s more of me looking at the evidence. In fact, that’s you projecting. So stay away from the Kool Aid.

I like facts. You enjoy being lied to and repeating lies. It’s just that simple.

Hey. how’s the new Islamist government in Egypt working out for you? How about the pending financial collapse in Europe? Are you enjoying the violence in the streets here in the US?

It was just another Fox News lie!!

you can tell by how he doesn’t have a show there anymore. 

You can tell that he’s not doing a show there, by that. But you can’t tell why. Unless you notice his two hour evening show which is one of seven running on his own network.

What is the time for them to have happened?

Lonesome Rhodes Beck was nuts.

Glenn has appeared on Fox and Friends and Bill O’Reilly numerous times since leaving the station.

If, as you seem to think, he was fired, would Ailes have agreed to let Beck’s final show have been broadcast live? It was!

Wouldn’t Ailes have feared that Beck would have unleashed on the station, on Ailes, etc?

Don’t believe everything you read….MOST articles have an agenda.

Beck is doing extremely well with his own production company and the innovation set by the new technology he has implemented. He is beating, handily I might add, Oprah and Current TV…COMBINED, with room to spare.

The best thing Beck did was form his own company!

Did it ever dawn on you that Beck just might not have time?

He has a 3 hour radio program everyday, a 2 hour TV show, specials, rehearsals, etc.

Not to mention tours, books, events, etc.

Give the guy a break…he is, after all, only one man!

The contract was supposed to last through Dec 31st, last year, right?

Did you expect a Christian leadership to take over in Egypt?
Now you want to pin the financial crisis in Europe on Americans?
Violence in the streets has gone down consistently since the ’80s.
I would hate to be as paranoid as you and Beck are.
Then again, I suppose that puts some excitement in your otherwise boring life. So, enjoy it by all means.

It would be a family affair with the narcissistic sociopaths in charge of non-news and filled with Evangelical hate, about they only thing they have to hold onto.  Christ left them in the dirt decades ago.  Glenn is their new God along with Rupert Murdoch and Andrew Brietbart, the Trinity of Evil.

“The Five has outperformed Beck’s final month by 4% in total viewers and has shown growth for four straight months, from September 2011 through January 2012, according to Nielsen.”

Beck was hemorrhaging viewers.

Kincaid calls what Glenn Beck was doing “investigative journalism”. I think that pretty much tells us the limits of his mental faculties.

Absolutely NOT!  All he ever was, was a loud spinner of conspiracy junk who served as a cheerleader for the completely crazies and evidently they feel deprived of entertainment.  Notice how the scene has settled just a bit since he’s been gone?

Eric Bolling is as much a lunatic as Glenn Beck, but without the acting skills (although he seems to think he has them).

So does that mean all his predictions about society coming to end are humbug?

Bring Beck back and fire Alan Colmes.
Colmes is as useful as teats on a boar hog.

Kincaid can go buy Glenn Beck show online with his following over there. I like The Five as well still believe that there should be two liberals on show so Beckel has a pal be more fair if they did it. I got to hand it to Beckel he can carry his own.

Cliff Kincaid just doesn’t like to hear the otherside Fox has a lot of conservative just like they have liberals. Fox will always have conservative bent/middle of the road like CNN is liberal but trys to be fair in there coverage. MessNBC is far left network Obama network.

They’re both useless, you’re obviously too dumb to realize it tho.

If anyone has Eye0fNewt’s number….please call him and tell him his 14 year-old child is using his ID

As a Republican, I found Beck to be embarrassing and then again totally hilarious in his ‘made up snews’.  Who needs his sort of constant racial rhetoric that would make Lincoln turn over in his grave.  I think Fox had no other choice although it was a lot too little and definitely a lot too late.  The guy totally discredited Fox and our party as long as he worked there and his program became the laughing stock material for comedians.

I simply cannot stop laughing!  “Investigative Reporting?”  Pardon me while I take a break and laugh hysterically. 

Says the “guy” with the Mickey Mouse ears on his avatar.

Fox was better with Beck.

That was his old contract. Which, if he’d been fired, they would have had to pay off. They didn’t, because he wanted out.

You don’t really think they signed him to an 8 month contract, do you?

Holy non-sequitur, Batman! Did you expect the Smurfs to take over the Death Star? Huh? Huh?

I’m not familiar with those. Care to share some with us?

That’s Obama with the ears….twit.
Damn…You’re as dumb as he is.

I’m as “dumb” as the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review & the first black president of the United States. Considering thats a heck of a lot smarter than trailer trash like you, that’s not really an insult at all, unless you a backwards hillbilly hick of se.

Non sequitur? Of course the new government in Egypt would be Islamist. Only a fool would expect otherwise. I guess that’s you.

I like “The Five” and watch it everyday. I even like Beckel a (tiny) bit more than I ever did.

I simply cannot stop laughing…….YOUR NOT A CONSERVATIVE! TAKE THE MASK OFF!

Some people have forgotten how Glenn Beck started the people thinking about what was going on in the government and what we needed to do to put a stop to the wrong being done.
The Five is a great program.  However, I do miss Glenn Beck. 

It would help if Egyptians could stand a political figure to replace Mr. Mubarak for at least long enough to allow a truly democratic government to form. The Egyptian opposition now seems to have that political figure.
Diplomat and Mubarak critic Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei seems ready to serve as the unifying symbol of democratic change, for the ideologically diverse coalition that wants Mr. Mubarak out.

Heh.

He wasn’t fired! Get your facts right. I know thetruth can be scary.

Love to see Beck back on Fox. We miss him and wish we could afford his GBTV online. At least we get to listen to him on his radio show which is great!!!

The sad thing is that if you were a truly watched the Glenn Beck Program you would know all the things for the last couple of years that he talked about happening in this contry because of the progressives infiltration of America,  has now come to fruition.  You can stick your head in the sand all you want but that does not change the reality of his INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING…and IT IS investigative reporting. This country is quickly on the Road to Rome and decaying quickly from the inside.  What is funny is that journalists now bring to light the things that he has been saying for the last 5 years and act like they are bringing NEW news. Those of us who have watched the program from the beginning are light years ahead of those who listen to lame stream media. People can make fun of him and people who share the same beliefs as Glenn, but it does not matter.  We will not be the ones standing outside with our pants down and a hand reaching out for the government to screw us and feed us.
