Let me just save everyone some time here.

All the Conservative comments will revolve around not believing the librul NY Times.

Then the liberals will call those people stupid.

Then they will call them stupid as their reply.

Then Gordon Bloyer will say something about his latest YouTube video and it’ll get 7 views.

And this will go on for 203 comments.

Now let’s all move along. Nothing else to see here.

Glenn Beck had better NOT retire. My daddy, GBR, would be out of a job. He would lose his website about Glenn Beck and he would start eating cheetos soaked in toluene again. PLEASE don’t retire Mr. Beck.

A perfectly good bombshell would go to waste.

Uhoh…I can’t wait till the lefty loons see this. I bet their cut and pastes are warming up as I type this. “looncrazynutconspiricywhackotinfoilhatalcoholic….etc” HAHAHAHA
Just another NYT hatchet Xmas wish list. But the loons will eat this up like veggie burgers HAHAHA

The truth is the truth. I read the whole column. It is a joke. He has no idea what he is talking about. Becks numbers have come down because last year was a election year and Beck’s message was hot. The election happend and he won. As the presidential election approaches his ratings will rise again.
The fool that wrote the column also said Beck’s rally drew 100,000 people, LOL.

Bahahahahaha AMEN.

Most of the essay is the same stuff that people have been saying for a couple of weeks and the “news” appears to be that Beck’s people aren’t worried because they may have an adequate non-Fox platform, so if FNC wants to meet his contract demands in December or if they decide he’s not worth the cost, the Beck show will go on.

Keep in mind, Arianna sold the Huffington Post for $315m and with his recent hires along with promotion from other media (such as this site) and all of the other Beck platforms (like radio, tours and “insider extreme”), TheBlaze could reach profitability at a much faster rate.

IOW: The “news” could be that if Ailes wants to keep him, he’ll have to pay.

Actually the best quote in the article is the most spot on:

“He used to be a lot funnier,” said David Von Drehle, who wrote the article in Time magazine. “He was the befuddled everyman and something entirely new, but the longer people have listened to his ranting and raving, the wearier they become. Now you are just getting down to diehards.

And that is the truth. I love listening to people with whom I disagree. Rush may not have my politics, but he is fun. I may not agree with Maddow, but her show is a fun ride. Glenn has just become exhausting.

Fox and Beck will be together for the next decade at least. The bed-wetting, gold-buying, tin foil hat-wearing demographic is far too valuable for them to let go.

Think about it: If you’re trying to sell shit, the prime audience is one which will believe anything as long as it’s written on a chalk board, and who can’t comprehend anything that’s not spelled out in chalk.

Cha ching!

And Jon Stewart got 215,000 people at his rally. What’s your point?

…as he predicted a coming apocalypse.

Down on the farm, we like to call that “bullshit”. Not an auspicious start.

“contemplating life without Mr. Beck”

Keeping Beck at contract renewal time will be very expensive, I am sure Fox is weighing his value to the company. There is no one that could draw his audience at 5PM, just ask Matthews.

Carr’s conjecture IS nothing more than an attempt to stir the pot.

I believe the point was that the ‘Restoring Honor’ draw was much closer to 350k>450k than close to the lowball CBS numbers. I also believe you knew what the point was.

It’s an interesting question, and it does bear some rough connections to Olbermann, sure. Both represent a good share of ratings for their networks respectively, both are lightning rods for many people outside of the networks to aim at as the true fringe, and both have their legions of fans, and haters.

Will FOX get rid of Beck? I doubt it, but who knows what would happen in 6-9 months. If his ratings don’t maintain, and continue to stumble, atop the other networks, but down, it could be a consideration. If he is seen as a liability to the network at large, then he might be out. It bears some resemblance to the Olbermann event, and in the end, we see how that went.

BWAHAHHAAHHAHAAHHAHHAHHHAA!!!

What will you BRAINWASHED ZOMBIES do without your DEAR LEADER.

Beck had far more than Stewart or didn’t you see the photos? Maybe you are blind as well as being a coward hiding behind a phony name.

Don’t over estimate jjays intelligence.

If accurate, then such a meteoric rise and fall might even put NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD to shame, yet could it really be true?

I knew that person had a fall, but did he ever have a rise?

On the contrary, it would end his campaign in a victory.

The real question is, what would YOU do?? :)

Glenn is so irrelvant , a rodeo clown , fearmonger , stupid , but us liberals just can’t stop marginalizing and thinking about Glenny (in honor of BFD) !

You should be happy with that… he was being nice about it, as everybody knows Beck’s rally didn’t even crack 100k.

you do realize that the numbers he still pulls is during a non primetime hour? Hell I’m traffic on my way home so I miss him everyday and have to catch reruns or recorded episodes.

There’s one factor missing. Beck isn’t an asshole. The heat he draws might be a pain in the ass, but the ratings settle the problem from a corporate standpoint. MSNBC hated Olbermann and Olbermann hated MSNBC. They held each other in contempt. Not the case here. This will be all about the money and Beck’s willingness to keep the show going.

Who knows, next year, sandwich board, Times Square, “THE END IS NEAR”.

Yo! All…. I have a VERY non-partisan question. Is there a way on this site to track comments to/from a thread we comment on? Or, do we just have to keep going back to older posts and check for comments to or about our comments?

Everyone except Fox News will admit that Stewart/Colbert drew more people than Beck did. I’m not going to argue about it with you because it’s a fact and it speaks for itself.

And seriously, why are you so obsessed with knowing the identity of everyone who comments on an article? So that you can attempt to ridicule them on something that has nothing to do with the subject? Seriously, not everyone is as dumb as you are when it comes to putting all of their personal info out there for the whole world to see. You know that anyone can go online and look up Gordon Bloyer in Portage, Indiana and just like magic:

Nope… just wanted to know if there was a way to see when someone responds to a comment so I can enjoy or be educated by the comment. I really do not like the hit and run and hide bit of this site. I try to comment, listen, share… but I really do not have the time to go back through all of my comments to see if anyone has something inetresting to say. Sorry if that bothers you. I’ll file your name as one who has no interest in following comments.

jjay7381 said:

Yeah, but you don’t need to repeat it. Posting a guy’s home phone number just because you could find it is pretty douche. Gordon does not hide who he is, at all. You don’t need to prove that.

You shouldn’t publish peoples info like that. Even though Gordon and I disagree on a lot of things I would be the first one to say that this is very immature what you did and I hope Mediaite removes it immediately.

What I have a problem with is Gordon demanding that we all post our full identities online even though we know that it is a dumb idea because any psycho can use your name to find out where you are. Any law enforcement officer will tell you the exact same thing.

Bad form, man… bad form. If you think he is wrong in wanting ALL info posted, say your piece. I also believe SOME info should be posted. At least a live link to a website ya like or something… hiding behind a dead profile, well….. says a lot… for either side.

I’m glad you posted this Matt. Yes, I believe it is just a matter of time. Roger Ailes is a very shrewd operator. He doesn’t want Glenn Beck to ruin the reputation of Fox News. And Glenn Beck doesn’t want to change.

I’ve sat here and had Gordon tell me in the most vulgar terms possible that I must a prostitute just because I won’t post my full name and/or picture on this website. He demands the make believe nude pictures of me from the imaginary pimp he’s made up. All because I choose to follow the advice of law enforcement officers and common sense by commenting anonymously. He’s a bully and a troll. So don’t expect me to say I’m sorry for posting public information to make a point to someone who expects that we all sacrifice our privacy the same way he chooses to.

jjay…. it does not have to be all or nothing. I am new to this site (3 weeks-ish) I have no axe to grind. I am not all about ALL info being posted. But I do believe some link should be supplied… even if it is a link to a personal cause. Just keeping a dead profile only adds to the disingenuous comments. And for full disclosure, this is IIWII… I had to get back on under a new email… seems something I said has blocked my last 7 or so posts.

I’m not sure why any of this matters at all.
By next December there will be a New World Order and the U.S. will be controlled by a Muslim Caliphate. Most of us will be living off gold coins and survival seeds and we wont even get cable in our fallout shelters.
And even if we did the Antichrist would have the number one rated cable news show.

Also, thanks for Gordo’s info.

no, I was just not certain of your positions. I really wanted to take the comment as humor…. but it was I who was uncertain. Reding back, you actually played off the original post very well.

To you Progressive-Lefties who have finally found and have been praying to GOD the demise of Glenn Beck….Listen UP…This is a Business 101 class.

Contracts, like Glenn and every other on-air, have a definite start date and an end date.
Planning is part of weighing your options with Glenn and without Glenn. It is what NORMAL business people do…they PLAN.
They are going to look at what the network wants and needs, their goals for that time slot, with and without Glenn. There is NO emotion to it because it boils down to “dollars and sense!”

One thing is sure with Fox, they will do what makes “sense” for Fox.

As I think about this more, if Glenn did leave Fox, it would be the ONLY way any show shown on MSNBC or CNN would beat him in ratings…EVER!

Those two cables produce the most pathetic programming …EVER!

Then they match it with the most pathetic on-air personalities…EVER!

Then…they have a very pathetic viewing audience…EVER!

Glenn’s not going anywhere .

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/03/06/nyt-hit-piece-glenn-beck-fox-may-not-renew-his-contract

Why would anyone care where Glenn Beck went? I will follow the man into the fires of Mount Doom itself. He is the truth, the light, and the way. He is the Ayotollah of Awesomeollah. Without him there is nothing, NOTHING to hold the deadly commislamogressives at bay. Through Glenn Beck there will be VICTORY over them!!!!! Glenn Beck will continue to shine rays of KNOWLEDGE from any format. The NYT seeks to discredit and destroy him in order to please their America hating master…..barrack HUSSEIN o-bummer! The commislamogressives will use insidious SALINSKY tactics. They, and their seething HATRED for the FREEDOM, must be THWARTED!

Glenn can always go on Dancing With The Stars like the washed up and disgraced Righties Tucker Carlson, Tom Delay and Bristol Palin.

I’m sure the teabloggers will vote him to victory.

The NYT has its own ‘Glenn Beck.’ His name is Paul Krugman, who is as irritatingly tiresome to the Right as Glenn is to the Left. His haughty air of superiority (he won a Nobel, after all, given to him by other Libs) makes it all the more satisfying that the little bearded man is so incensed these days…and has been ever since his beloved ‘Keynesian thought’ was exposed as a lie.

It became pretty clear over the last weekend, and especially after Kurtz’s show Sunday, that Republicans are increasingly viewing O’Beckerhead as a liability, as well they should. The Republicans are struggling to assimilate their special band of nuts, the Tea Partiers, and they really can’t well withstand the erection of another fortress for O’Beckerhead and the O’Beckerheaders. I’m still betting that O’Beckerhead will withstand this latest assault, and I am pleased he will as he weakens the voice of the Republican Party, but at same point, Murdoch and Ailes are going to be forced to chose between their beloved Republican Party and the likes of O’Beckerhead and the O’Beckerheaders.

Which is appropros of nothing relevant to this thread.

Glenn is contemplating life without FOX, is more like it.

So, mediaite is now gossip cop? Anonymous sources….we all know the NYTimes has no journalistic ethics, but does mediaite have to follow suit?

Really now. BDS has infected this site, and now this is just made up crap and you post it here as a blaring headline?

Beck is news even when he isn’t. The jealousy and rage over Beck from the left is just too damn funny,.

Everyone except Fox News will admit that Stewart/Colbert drew more people than Beck did. I’m not going to argue about it with you because it’s a fact and it speaks for itself. And seriously, why are you so obsessed with knowing the identity of everyone who comments on an article? So that you can attempt to ridicule them on something that has nothing to do with the subject? Seriously, not everyone is as dumb as you are when it comes to putting all of their personal info out there for the whole world to see. You know that anyone can go online and look up Gordon Bloyer in Portage, Indiana and just like magic: Gordon A. BloyerAge 653032 May St., Portage, IN(219) 762-07203 bedroom 975 sq. foot house with 1 bathroomEst. home value: $81, 832 That’s why people don’t post their full identity online, Gordon.

Libs are so stupid. The fact that you hide behind a phony name is your decision. It just makes everything you say suspect and irrelevant. If you don’t lie and attack others it wouldn’t matter. If you want to compain about others you should stand behind your comments. I can say anything about you since you are hiding and don’t exist and you can’t defend yourself. You can say anything about me and people can look it up and see that you are a liar.
I have no problem knowing everything about me. I am a public figure and I stand behind what I say. Can you or any lib here say the same? LOL

TRRK – You are delusional to think that those attacking Beck are “from the right”. Just because that is what Howie told you yesterday doesn’t make it so. Frum is NOT from the right, and some others are just trying to jump on the Beck bandwagon anyway they can.

The NYTimes is just making stuff up – it is what they do best. All the views thats fit to print. The NYTimes is bogus, they have destroyed their own reputation with the complete BS they publish. This is just one more example of such.

Beck’s site, the Blaze responded to this piece of junk this morning at 1am, and yet mediaite, didn’t bother to report on that part of the story. Just more bias from the left wing media outlets.

Honestly mediaite, report both sides….how about an update?

However, Carr later points out that Beck “still has numbers that just about any cable news host would envy and, with about two million viewers a night, outdraws all his competition combined.” One might think that would be the beginning and the end of the speculation, since what more should a television show be expected to do besides get more eyeballs watching them than any other show?

Some of you DIMS here went to the government school system that teaches Communist orientation instead of reading, while others never went to school at all. Find a Conservative and ask them to read to you the above paragraph from the article (we’re always willing to help the real needy…………..just not the scam artists). THEN realize how idiotic you look posting nonsense about Beck leaving FOX.

FOX – please just relax. I have lived an entire life free of Beck and it is a good, full life. I watch FOX for the hot babes with the sound turned down. For that reason alone I wish them all the best!

It became pretty clear over the last weekend, and especially after Kurtz’s show Sunday, that Republicans are increasingly viewing O’Beckerhead as a liability, as well they should. The Republicans are struggling to assimilate their special band of nuts, the Tea Partiers, and they really can’t well withstand the erection of another fortress for O’Beckerhead and the O’Beckerheaders. I’m still betting that O’Beckerhead will withstand this latest assault, and I am pleased he will as he weakens the voice of the Republican Party, but at same point, Murdoch and Ailes are going to be forced to chose between their beloved Republican Party and the likes of O’Beckerhead and the O’Beckerheaders.

OOOOOOOOOO’Beckerhead! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO’Beckerhead! I get to say OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO’Beckerhead! I’m the King and I’m so smart I can say OOOOOOOOOOOOO’Beckerhead!

GBR, Little Johnny ‘T’ & Burger Bovine will be along later after they have cleaned themselves up from their wet dream.

Bye Glenn, enjoy your new job as the morning zoo guy in Seattle. Tee Hee.

Liberals can’t fathom the concept of common sense. Beck stomps the bejesus out of anyone on cable news at 5:00 p.m. and makes the network an enormous amount of money. They have no plans for changing something that works really well at 5:00.

He lost a million viewers!!!!! Tee Hee what a loser.

That leaves a measly 2 million viewers at 5:00 p.m., more than all the others combined. Can you even add and subtract?

Day 26 since Henny Glenny was struck by an overwhelming feeling that Egypt is the beginning of a growing evil that is going to spread a global Muslim caliphate and with the help of the communists and progressives create a New World Order ending our way of life as we know it.

Look, I understand that many on this site are relishing the fact that Beck has not been proven right, and frankly I hope that he is wrong on this one (as I am sure he is hoping as well), but it’s time to put the politics down and start thinking.

It was several months before our embassy personnel were taken hostage in Iran and before their true intentions became apparent. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization, it has all the markers by which a counter terrorist analyst make that determination. The brotherhood is a major force in that region and they are getting a seat at the table in Egypt. There is a strong chance that they will prevail and if they do, then we will have a Sunni counterpart to Iran. If that happens, then their is a very high probability that they will attack Israel, along with Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and every member of Hammas and Hezbollah. We will than have a choice, defend Israel or let them die. If we choose the former, then we will be attacked on our soil and a lot of us will die. If we choose the latter, then Israel will launch their nukes and we are in WWIII. Either way, it is all bad.

Beck makes leaps logic, or illogic for those of you who hate him, but that is what he does. Are you willing to call experienced analysts “Chicken Littles” as well? Because I can guarentee you that counterterrorism analysts are considering the potiential outcomes if radical muslims do gain control of a number of the middle east countries. We are at risk, oil is our lifeblood and since we have been blocked from developing our own resources by rabid environmenalist, then if oil does hit 150-200 dollars a barrel, we are screwed. And for all of you who do not have to use cars to get to work, don’t worry, when food triples in price (you do know it takes fuel to deliver that stuff?) you will share the love as well. We could face a new choice. That choice could be to take the resources (you know war for oil) or do we collapse. Yes that still is a low probability scenario, but if things could go out of control quickly. You do remember that Enterprise and her battle group are now in the region. If you think they are there to ferry Egyptians out (not our own people, we got them a broken down ferry) then you need to rethink that as well.

I hope that our current President and his crew are up to this challenge, but most of what they have done shows that they are truly incompetent and out of their depth.

It’s a bit too soon to say that.

However, that is exactly what liberals use to “expose” Beck in their minds. He says something on Monday and if it doesn’t happen on Tuesday, Beck is a FRAUD!!! By the time whatever it is that Beck warned about comes to pass, Amercian’s ADD minds have moved WAY past it and on to “Charlie Sheen” type stories.

It appears to me that the people in the media that can’t stand Beck and the fact he still gets viewers at all, have decided the newest tactic will to just move on and pretend and project to the “little people” (us) that he just isn’t relevant, has nothing to say, so “move along folks” and are hoping THAT will finally do it. Since nothing else they have tried so far has worked.

The media loves Beck. Beck is a story in and of himself. That’s why the NYT put out an article like this. They know just mentioning his name generates interest. Look how many comments this post has generated. It’s all just capitalism. The suckers here are all of us who fight tooth and nail to defend or denounce him.

He was only relevant when they got rid of Van Jones, then he called BO Racists and white hater (even though he is half white), started to cry regularly, became less funny, became a Televangelist, lied about his ‘blindness’, rattlings falling. Then big Ayers had finally had enough of him, not that he is brining in a lot of ad money in anyway.

Finally, this clown will go somewhere and would not be seen, except on his website and radio show (if he is not dropped). His lack of credibility has become so tarnished that I don’t think any respectable tv network would want to hire this moronic POS.

actually beck’s strategy is to shout to the sky that random things are going to happen, and he doesn’t put a date on it so even if it doesn’t happen it’s some how evidence of it happening later. For instance, 2006 he says that we’re going to have a nuclear war with Iran, it doesn’t happen. But he still can say that it just hasn’t happened yet because he didn’t say when it was going to happen. It’s a strategy that appeals to conspiracy theorists everywhere.

Carr’s an idiot, a liar, or both. Beck’s ratings are monstrous for 5pm, and continue to be amazing. The situation is obvious. Beck could easily retool his show into a talk show format like a political ‘Doctor Oz’ and go into syndication on a national basis. He could stay at Fox and set whatever terms he wants. It’s not a question of his ratings, which are spectacular, it’s what he wants to do.

Beck at 5pm gets crazy high ratings. He can choose WHATEVER (besides O’Reilly’s spot) he wants. The question is what does he want.

Sorry, Sidhe, but this is really nothing more than blithering. As for the Administration being “truly incompetent & out of their depth,” forgive for thinking that you’re hardly one to make that judgement. After all, you appear to take seriously as a geopoilitical analyst, a guy who claimed that the Chinese were going to take over New Zealand, and the Russians, the Netherlands.

I’m glad you posted this Matt. Yes, I believe it is just a matter of time. Roger Ailes is a very shrewd operator. He doesn’t want Glenn Beck to ruin the reputation of Fox News. And Glenn Beck doesn’t want to change.

that’s really funny! Ailes will do EVERYTHING to keep Beck, his issue is that a 5pm megastar naturally needs to be in primetime, yet FNC primetime is a ratings machine.

Carr is just a typical writer incorporating wishful thinking rather than looking at a rather obvious business situation.

The Dweller Ysul said:

Then you naive.

No, you assume I think Beck is a serious geopolitical analyst, I don’t. He is a commentator and is paid to do so. He makes his own leaps just as Mathews, Olbermann and others that comment. Does Beck go “OD” as one my instructiors would say (that means “Out Dare”). He is pushing his envelope quite a bit, but it is interesting that he scores more often than his counterparts. Would I call him sole source, not a chance, and neither does he. Or did you happen to miss his mantra of don’t believe what I say, research for yourself.

I make my judgments based on what I was trained to do for a living, not on what Beck is saying. No, I no longer have access to the current classified information, so I am having to guess. However I do have a working knowledge of people like the Brotherhood. I do look at what they say and take them seriously. I read serious intelligence sites, like Stratfor. I do read Fars (Iran’s approved news agency), and I do keep an eye on Al Jazeera.

So, when the Director of National Intelligence makes one of the most unbelievably ludicrous statements that have ever been uttered by a top level intelligence official, “The term ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ … is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam,” I wonder where the hell Mr. Clapper got his information, maybe from CAIR? When the Director of CIA admits he is relying on news channels for his intelligence rather than his analyst, I get very concerned. When I see elementary mistakes being made at State and within the administration, I will, in my informed opinion, make my judgment.

My question to you is can you put down the Beck card and realize the stakes we are dealing with.

I love Glenn Beck. I tune in, watch it for 5 minutes and start laughing about the fact that some people look to him as an eminent sage of the right. Glenn draws the kind of people that moderates call the police on…..

Some people keep commenting that liberals are “scared” of Glenn Beck. I think liberals find Glenn Beck “scary”. There is a difference. I am “scared” of a grizzly bear. I find the homeless guy who stands on the corner and screams his rants “scary”. Maybe conservatives embrace that guy, I dunno.

There is a place for Glenn Beck in TVland, alongside Jimmy Swaggart and Robert TIlton…

Stratfor is good and thinks Turkey may be the next regional superpower with an Islamic twist. The Turks have fought about 25 wars with the Iranians[Persians] in the last 425 years [I'm an Arabist and studied these things] and I’m looking forward to war 26. I did a long study on the Ikhwan which I linked to Tom Malone’s JOMinute. The Brotherhood are going to worm their way into Egyptian politics and the only ones able to stop the Ikhwan are gonna be the Army and Sufi Brotherhoods preaching a version of Bahai kumbayeh love-in kinda stuff. The Copts are a very wild card and could be the catalyst for zany Ikhwan fanaticism. I still love Egypt, though, and wish them all the luck in the world.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, without the benefit of a buzz-booster like Charlie Sheen, quietly jumped to the elite levels of cable news ratings, outperforming everyone at CNN and MSNBC, and even beating Fox’s Glenn Beck. Maddow hit 452,000 viewers 25-54, easily dominating CNN’s Piers Morgan, who had 208,000. Maddow, who was without any Charlie Sheen-like celebrity guest, even came close to Fox’s Sean Hannity, who won the time period with 561,000.

Are we supposed to believe the New York Times? Now that is delusional.

The libs are at it again. RR was a liberal and BHO is just like RR.

The Repubs won on 11/02/210 because BHO was not liberal enough for the libs ( say what??).

Per NY Times‘ David Carr “Since last August, when he summoned more than 100,000 followers to the Washington mall for the “Restoring Honor” rally”.

Over 100k, Davey boy? Try nearly 1,000,000 if not more.

And Davey boy, GB gets ratings = > than those of the prime-time shows of Hannity and Greta. Are they going to be fired, too?

What this truly shows is that GB has become the left’s #1 target., and that means he is being successful!

Thanks again for not making any sense.

As sick as the teas are, this may be a plant story from the “fair and unbalanced” side. True, Beck will go on with radio and maybe another show, but would most likely lose several nuts along the way. At “Fox” all the crazies are in one place, they’re already watching, so can he live without that overflow? Once he leaves (if) he will go even more nuts and will start losing some sponsors, it won’t be the last we’ve heard of him.

Ok with me. They lose me at 5 and regain me at 6 . I am sure they have been able to follow the trend .my guess they get a big tune out at 5 and a big tune in at 5 . My guess a large part of the 5 o’clock tune in leaves at 6 resulting in a net Loss for the 5 to 7 pm time period.

I know a lot of people like you including my parents. They don’t want to turn on the TV to hear someone calling the president a racist, a marxist, or joke about shooting people in the head. Roger Ailes is above all else most interested in ratings, but he wants to be taken seriously. And for more and more Americans like my parents Beck’s program is not a serious show so they skip watching it. I know this does not sit well with Roger so that is why Beck is on the way out.

GB’s followers will go the way of teh Beck, no matter what network he is on.

If that happens, FNC will get another crazy person (ex: aggregious self-promoting GBloyer) to fill in time slot.

Demographic/mentality of viewership will be identical — so while FNC may lose some ratings, the same retired or unemployed RWers will still be watching their One True Channel, regardless of what bitter cracker is spewing hate at 5p.

So, does it really matter?

The only funny part is the nosedive in GB viewership…

Glenn Beck doesn’t care about substance or facts. He seeks to be more outrageous week after week. And if that means making the most provocative, ludicrous statements than so be it.
Roger Ailes knows that he can continue to garner massive ratings at the 5 PM time slot without having someone who puts a major scar on the face of the network. Expect him to replace Beck with someone qualified, but who lacks the penchant and desire for making outrageous comments while pushing unfounded conspiracy theories.
On a side note, I wonder if Beck’s claim that the Bushes avoided bombing holy sites because they support an Islamic caliphate pushed Ailes over the edge. There is a deep affinity and close relations between Ailes and other Fox executives many of whom worked for the Bushes in the past. It is one thing to attack Acorn, Bill Ayers, and the Left. It is quite another for Beck to attack the Bushes.
I imagine that this piece is only the first of several that will shed more light on the relationship between Beck and Fox. It will be interesting to learn the principal reasons for Beck’s departure as well as if there were particular attacks and conspiracies that most offended Ailes.

Afterwards, years of repair work still find the city with problems.

Now we must ask ourselves how we can prevent such catastrophies in the future.

Looks like only 148 comments.

But I was right about the rest.

Now move on people.

Beck is the media’s boldest manipulator of white racial anxieties, fears and prejudice and his followers become overzealous haters without a legitimate reason to hate.

That, Tbags and Tbaggetts, is the definition of your ignorance.

Glenn Beck’s lapse into prophecy and paranoid delusional ravings are expected of a former serious alcoholic and dyslexic whose basic wiring is unsound and thus unpredictable. At least with Benny Hinn you get the whore of Babylon with her pink hair and mascara to amuse you.

Isn’t it so obvious that there are so many predatory websites/news outlets that are raking in tons of money at Glenn Beck’s expense? How? Fly fishing using CHEAP, DIRTY & PHONY lures to bait in Conservatives and Liberals to their sites. The more ‘hits’ they get then the deeper/fatter their pockets get.

Glenn Beck has been a ‘very popular’ outspoken Commentator for several years now, and he’s been the target of these vultures. It’s the price of fame plus the price of being ‘loved and respected’ by several million people. It seems like none stop everyday these predators continue to throw in their filthy/cheap lures.

What would happen if nobody visits their trashy ponds even if they keep dangling their paltry lures? Will these predatory vultures seize to exist? YES, they are already becoming extinct because the dirtier their ‘smear tactics’ the more attention they bring on to Glenn Beck who’s getting even more and more PROMINENT and a THREAT to so many who ENVIES him.

Keep on luring and dreaming you vultures. Glenn Beck is here to stay & married to Fox forever.
Do you all vultures think that Fox is dense enough to let a GIANT PRICE like Glenn Beck get away? We The People think not.

Disproved? Umm, no, we all watched it.. It really happened. In non-Fox-land.

Thanks to the real journalists (well, sort of) at MSNBC for pointing out that Beck did, in fact, accuse the Bushes (both) of not bombing the holy sites, you know, for the caliphate, all that.

I use anchor text a lot to buttress my argument that, for example, Glenn Beck is an unprincipled hypocrite. Other times I just drop my URL right out there because I’m busy or whatever. Facts is, I don’t earn a dime off from The Glenn Beck Review. It is not monetized, and I’m not a critic of Glenn Beck to make money.

I hope that Carr is talking with reliable sources because I’d rather not scrutinize Beck’s show, research his claims and spend hours writing blog post that demonstrate what a liar, hypocrite and charlatan he is.

Fact is Beck’s numbers are high because there are a lot of hateful, racist or otherwise reactionary people that want to believe the nonsense that Beck spouts. That utter and bizarre nonsense that Fox allows on their network is proof positive that Fox is not a news outlet and are all about right-wing propaganda. Beck is bad for Fox and someone there has got to grasp that.

People who believe Beck’s claims come across like psychotics when they repeat his idiotic, absurd and ignorant assertions. Beck is frequently telling his minions to get others to watch his show. He’s a natural born marketer. He wants to get your parents, friends and neighbors hooked on his manipulative propaganda. I want to warn your parents, friends and neighbors about what Beck is up to and how he lies. In that effort, I need your help. Become Paul(ette) Revere:

Cue the Beckerheads: they will now attack me. (That’s how effective this charlatan is. Millions of people are epistemologically dysfunctional and will attack any and all critics. He has them brainwashed in effect. Don’t let your family and friends become one of them.)

POOR GBR, everyone here has proven you to be a liar. Where is that bombshell that is going to destroy Beck? LOL When we see you here everyone screams THE LIAR IS HERE! THE LIAR IS HERE!

I would think Beck’s lowest ratings are stellar compared to the cellar-dwellers.

Beck does still draw higher ratings than any other news channel host. No doubt about that. But, the ad revenues are no longer there. The anti-Beck crowd must be pretty influential after all, because they convinced all quality advertisers to drop Beck. Why should Fox continue to broadcast the profit building equivalent of a public service announcement?

Perhaps it is more important that Beck does not toe the party line at Fox. He needs to show some enthusiasm for the Republican/Tea party victory. This is supposed to be the beginning of progress toward the glorious past.

As for not bombing religious and cultural symbols, that has been part of the law of war for decades. We also don’t bomb churches, synagogues, and temples of any religion. The Lincoln memorial would also be exempt, and the World Trade Center because it was a civilian target. The only acceptable exception is if your enemy is shooting at you from those places.

This “protect the Caliphate” by not bombing religious structures is the most obvious lie Beck has told yet.

You watched MSNBC “jounalists?” No, you watched progressive MSNBC commentators take what was said, as usual, out of context. But you certainly didn’t see Beck claim either Bush avoided bombing Babylon because he alleged they support an Islamic caliphate because it didn’t happen. Rather than rely have people who hate Beck to provide their context to his words, why don’t you watch the clip for yourself? And once you do, and can see how perverted their characterization of that clip was, you’ll be better informed as to the reliability of your sources of information and more circumspect in your absorption of their analysis.

But it certainly doesn’t bode well for your ability to discern the truth if you can’t tell the difference between a journalist and a talking head.

That’s my DADDY! You people be SURE to watch Glenn Beck so my daddy can keep his website going. At a nickel per click, he’s raking in upwards of 15 cents a day. The $1.05 he earns per week helps us to stretch the welfare, food stamps, and unemployment we get.

Would someone please buy me a kitten?

Beck wouldn’t care one bit, he’d be back on the air in 2 minutes with Charlie Sheen, WINNING!

Actually, dillweed, nobody has. Again, take the challenge, you little, tiny coward, and show where I have my facts wrong. You tried this once and I wiped the floor with the remaining strands of hair left on your empty head.

We know all about you Gordon. You’re a little man with a big mouth. Period:

Oh Gord, I’ve been here. I’ve been here since the word go. I’m a big fan of what Abrams et al. are doing here, I just haven’t really been motivated to join the fray below the articles until now.

See, as a member of the generation that saw the advent of the internet in our formidable years I’m aware of the qualities of comment sections, chats, and forums. I know that for the most part they’ve been a place where people allow themselves the freedom to be total assholes to complete strangers. Because of this I’ve avoided registering or commenting on much (I hardly leave a peep on YouTube videos, because, frankly, I don’t need an email each time some illiterate 14 year-old calls me a fag for liking Paul McCartney’s solo work.).

But you know what Gordie? The comments are here, and often times the word count and sheer amount of information in comments section is much higher than that of even the OP’s article. There are actually a few interesting people around here that seem to understand media criticism, and Gord, you aren’t one of them.

… but man are you prolific. I’m willing to bet that you are one of the top commenters here on Mediaite, if we are talking sheer number of posts; and to be totally honest with you, it is ruining the site for me.

You are intentionally confrontational from the word go, you have no constructive input to offer. You seek out those who have an opinion you feel is in conflict with yours and belittle them and call them names. Your retorts are weak and often involve a regurgitation of what ever “kick” you are on (my bet is I’m not the only one you are calling “stupid” this morning.). When the tone moves to substantive debate that involves doing more than calling people names you rely on your extensive experience that includes a website you haven’t updated since 2008 and the fact that you accidently rubbed William F. Buckley’s junk through his pants on a bus once or something like that.

There is nothing positive in what you do Gordo. Not for people you are arguing with and not for the arguments themselves.
You bring nothing to the table Gord-a-lord-a-ding-dang. The broad generalizations you spit are not just stupid but border on offensive, and before you go calling me some sort of touchy-feelie “liberal” just remember that generalizations are not the kind of thing an individualist should be comfortable making because they remove a person’s sense of singularity. It has nothing to do with peoples feelings it has everything to do with respecting the humanity of your neighbor.

So Gord, do everyone a favor and saddle up your half-sack and get real. Talk about the issues in a way that actually conveys a point and maybe we’ll not just understand what it is you stand for but also accept it as valid. Hell, you might get someone to think outside their own narrow little box.

I guess, in your own way, by contributing to the status quo of comment thread filth and nastiness, you’ve inspired me to try to improve this entire situation.”

“Mediaite, you’re becoming a drinking hole for Right Wing Bloviators. They barge in and criticize every liberal post, tossing names and vitriol in the same sentence, trying mightily to scare away opinions with a mishmash of dire warnings, mental illness diagnoses and abhorrent references. They have made this site almost unreadable because people are more interested in arguing and posturing instead of giving considered thoughts about the subject at hand. I realize that liberals are also involved in this practice, but count the posts and number the offenders.”

Gordon, you and your ilk are anti-rational reactionaries out to destroy meaningful exchanges because you know that you’re wrong, that you’re on the wrong side of history and from there you lose every debate. So instead, you make your deceitful and shallow accusations against me for one and only one reason, to undermine legitimate criticism of your hero, the liar, hypocrite and charlatan, Glenn Beck.

Really? People who engage in Civil War re-enactments, they’re fine.
People who do crossword puzzles all day, perfectly fine.
People who dedicate themselves to a sports team, perfectly sane.

But someone, who finds that a TV commentator says things that are “completely insane,” false, deceitful and then believed by millions of gullible and ignorant people (like paleoconservatives), starts a blog and a campaign to expose this purposeful liar and charlatan for what he is, THAT is psychotic?

How about the morons who actually believe the utter nonsense Beck spouts? They (you) are the ones who need to have your heads examined. Not really; it’s perfectly healthy to be a gullible sheep in a free country.

Beck is a brilliant communicator, if his ratings are down he will evolve and deliver greater ratings. If he has to bring guests, talk faster, be more like Bill O’Reilly, divide the show into segments, he will do that and thrive.

Besides, he still has far more ratings than the douchebags at MSNBC and CNN. As for The New York Times, who reads that crap? It’s a liberal rag read mostly by elite “journalists”. If they’re so great why are they bankrupt? Right, I forgot that liberals don’t care about ratings unless they have them.

http://libertarians4freedom.blogspot.com/

Actually, the NY Slimes has it wrong, but what’s new.

Meanwhile, MSNBC, CNN, HLN, and all the goofball liberals on Earth are contemplating what life would be like without Glenn Beck. They are, at once, wishing he weren’t around to shed the light of truth on their stupidity, yet dreading his absence as they would have to find new material to discuss.

What most people don’t understand is the impact Glenn Beck has on all of media. He has some 45 people on his payroll but think of all the people who wouldn’t have a job if it were not for Glenn Beck…even some of the people who post on this site would have to get a life.

Final thought: The losers in life hate anyone greater than themselves because they have none of the qualities required to achieve greatness, while the winners in life celebrate the greatness of others as they can see it in themselves.

Glynnis wrote a piece saying that the NYT story is not “entirely believable.” http://www.businessinsider.com/glenn-beck-david-carr-fox-news-ratings-2011-3

She’s always got to insert her liberal tripe. Anyways, we know that she wouldn’t have a job without Glenn.

That’s true, but a lot of what Beck says is fiction and much of the rest is nonsense. You see, Beck is a brilliant, manipulative propagandist. That fact that he has millions of supporters and this one, who is not incorrect to suspect that Beck “he will evolve and deliver greater ratings.” If by “evolve” PIL means start telling the truth and start sticking with his principles, then there will be no need for a Review of his lies and hypocrisies; but that won’t happen because Beck is an utter fraud.

No, people who understand Beck need to take a little time to warn friends and family that people like PIL and other gullible tools that Beck manipulates are coming to recruit them into Beck’s army of psychotics (people who believe Beck). It won’t hurt to take 15 minutes and become Paul Revere.
