Well, this was certainly trite. I think Beck is having a hard time recovering after his Massa debacle.

According to this Washington Post article, I’d say that he is definitely having a hard time (given that the comments are accurate). Would love to know who the unnamed staffers and journalists are because I sympathize with them.

I agree completely.

Many have said the **** flinging Baboon is not only tainting the Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network, but also marginalizing the few remaining conservatives prudent enough to distance themselves from that howling ape.

Seriously, one has to wonder about the mental capacity of anyone who listens and believes the Baboon’s turds.
Even Limpo swollen to his rear on Oxy was not nearly as unhinged as the Baboon Beck.

Don’t you guys worry, Glenn is fine and judging from his radio show this week, it’s going to be another week that Obama wishes Glenn didn’t exist.

And Bovine, I can respectfully debate with King and don’t have a problem anymore, hehe), but you are just vile in everything you say and couldn’t have a civil debate if you had to.

I caught that article by Kurtz too. It really is astounding that anyone could watch that show and not come away feeling stupid.

From ThinkProgress:

“In August, when just 33 companies had left the program, Fox News spokeswoman Irena Briganti told the AP that the network wasn’t losing any revenue from the boycott because the companies had “simply requested the ads be moved elsewhere.” But the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz reports today that Apple, along with a “handful” of other advertisers, have “abandoned” the entire network”

“More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck’s program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers.”

I think they meant if the host were less insane!

From the Post article cited above:

One thing is beyond debate: Beck provides a strong lead-in for the network’s evening lineup. “The significance of Beck to Fox’s bottom line cannot be underestimated,” says Tyndall, the industry analyst. “Getting an audience that size at 5 p.m. is absolutely unheard of.”

When Beck had a show on CNN’s Headline News, he averaged 367,000 nightly viewers in 2008, according to Nielsen figures. His Fox program is drawing 2.8 million viewers so far this year, slightly more than Hannity’s.

When Fox covers breaking news during Beck’s hour, some journalists say, they are flooded with angry e-mail from viewers about the preemption.

Wait, if you want something akin to the “food police”, then wouldn’t his whole anti-government intervention thing be forfeit? I mean, afterall, you can’t… oh wait no. Government intervention only applies to things they like. Not when it comes to things they don’t like. The government can tell you who to love all they want, just as long as they don’t consider takin’ my guns away from psychos. I keep forgetting that hypocrisy and contradiction doesn’t apply to the right-wing.

By the way, Obama will likely get healthcare passed by the end of this week. Beck will remain the side show while the Dems take the spotlight this week. Obama is the President of the United States and Beck is a loonie, talkshow host.

Ah rox, I think it’s you who are uninformed. Try reading this article, which is on mediaites front page:

Fox News Sees Profits And Viewership Rise, Cable News Competition Doesn’t

And for your into, I come away from watching Glenn feeling very informed, it’s just not the info most libs want out in the open.

You mean like Obama being against gay marriage, but the left only choosing to blast Carrie Prejean for saying it?

Writer, of course that isn’t the same thing. What are you thinking!

Silly writer, selective reading will get you nowhere. Clearly you need to start reading all the blogs blasting Obama for it, but nice of you to selectively care when it gives you a point, even though it was based on a gaping logical fallacy.

Snip, I tend to doubt it was possible for writer to read every single blog. I think what he meant was that people such as Keith Olbermann spent weeks blasting Prejean, but didn’t expend the same vehemence toward Obama, who had basically said the same thing. The left’s outrage seems to be very selective.

Exactly autobahn. Snip, please provide links to those who blasted Pujean, and also blasted BO’s same stance on the issue. I look forward to your response, but won’t hold my breath.

autobahn… that name is awesome (No that’s not all I have to say here, just something to say).

Comparing a Christian fundie to Obama is a bit of shaky territory. One hates the notion of two men or two women getting married to each other (Conveniently pairing it up with invisible gay friends, I’d go more into that, but I think it has been said to death at this point), and the other does not want to enact political suicide (Or supposed suicide, honestly at this point, he’ll never have the right-wing on his side anyways). Do I defend Olbermann for not talking about Obama’s position in depth when it comes to gay marriage? Hell no, but do I blast him? Not really, Keith has done his fair share of blasting Obama on weakness to the DADT issue (And has brought Dan Savage with him, so it’s pretty obvious where is loyalties stand). Besides, why would he talk about it when Rachel Maddow herself has brought it up plenty.

But back to a previous point. The social conservatives of America have put Carrie up on a pedestal, whereas the social liberals have blasted Obama plenty of times for being weak on the issue. Me being liberals, incredibly so, have done it at least a hundred times. Using Keith as a representative for an entire political ideology, is incredibly shaky itself. I would go more into detail, but then again, we both realize that it is a logical fallacy to say he represents the entire ideology. Also, I lost track of my thought, so it would be tough to continue at this point.

Snipzor, excellent post.

LOL, you have just proven that you are unable to report with accuracy. Rush never said he would leave the country to LIVE in Costa Rica. He would go there for medical care. I guess you don’t that American doctors and health insurance companies are setting up to treat people there.
Glenn Beck is not calling for a government agency for anything. When someone lives in the house that I pay for and eats the food that I pay for they are going to do what I want them to do. If they do not they should move and pay for everything on their own. Just ask my niece, she no longer lives in MY house. When the taxpayers pay the bill you will do as instructed. See what happens if Obamacare is passed.

There was some validity in there, snip. (somewhere) Yeah, Keith doesn’t speak for everyone on the left, but he does represent the faction that can’t stand to hear any variation from their own opinions. And Obama’s opinions are slightly more important on the world stage than a beauty contestant’s. Olbermann’s over the top hatred of the young woman, and his weeks of raking her over the coals, simply because she voiced an opinion he disagreed with, is why Keith and so many on the very far left are seen as nuts.

Hey i just can’t understand what’s going on here ?First Obama come up with health care reform which will no longer be much helpful for Americans and now this Food police?
