There is more to this. Even at his lowest Beck trouces the competition, especially competition from the left. I’d be interested in seeing numbers from radio programs in that area competing in the same time slot. Hey, if I’m wrong so be it.

But I still smell a rat.

Low on Radio ratings, low on TV ratings. I guess the folks are waking up to his phoniness.
Crying on tv,
claiming they are after him,
claiming he is going blind,
acting like a televangelist,
constantly making things up etc etc.

You just smell Beck.

Beckerhead has a limited audience, and he has likely tapped it thoroughly. That’s no mean accomplishment. And, he has tapped that audience in both radio and media. Bill-o couldn’t conquer radio, and Lard Limbaugh was a miserable flop on television. So, kudos to Beckerhead. But, it’s at its zenith. WOR is an example. His rejection in the UK is an even better example. His inability to recover lost advertisers in the US is the best example of the limited nature of his audience. All of the cultists have already boarded the Mothership. The only questions are: Will Beckerhead have to become loonier and loonier to keep his cultists? If he does, will he still lose some? I have no answer for that.

This must be some new definition of the word “low.” The number 3 radio program in the country, and one of the most popular cable news programs… and yet, he’s “low?”

I guess “low” is all relative.

I’d be interested to see what his radio number actually are. Mediaite… can you dispatch someone to get hold of the ratings, please? I know it might detract from the Palin beat… but, it is about Beck, so I’m sure you can find someone…

Then why does Beck have 2 to 5 times the rating compared to the other cable new shows during his time period?
Does anyone have his actual ratings or share numbers in NYC?

Uou guys sound deluded. The people who are paying the bills said his rattings are low and they plan to drop him, thats it, case close. If you don’t like it, go and open your tea party radio stations in New York. You apparently do not know how business is run (money matters). If his shows are not bringing home the money, then they can decide on business revenue matters to drop his behind.

I don’t think Beckerhead was put on television in the UK for the Brits. Huge numbers of Americans are in the UK on any given day, tourists, business travelers, ex-patriates working and living there. The numbers are amazing. As you may know, they speak English in the UK, as we do as one of our several languages in the US.

Limbaugh was a miserable flop

Limbaugh was NOT a flop on TV, across the country his program was constantly 2nd, if not first in his time period. There was an organized boycott, plus running his show very late only improved broad time period ratings.
Also remember, his show was at the tail end of broadcast TV power.
In these days with 5 to 8 “Networks” and 10 to 15 “strong” cable choices, Limbaugh would probably be number one in late night. (11:30 to 1AM Eastern)

Regardless of how one feels about Beck personally, the man is a huge success on TV and radio. 9 million plus radio listeners and 2-3 million cable television viewers per week.

Sorry, 9 million plus radio listeners per week and 2-3 million viewers per night.

People, even the brainwashed who had been following him, are starting to see his creepiness factor and weirdness factor ratchet up in recent months and are starting to abandon him. His divisive and hateful commentary has started to become tiresome even for those hillbillies who follow him.

Like I posted, the station Beck is on is rated #22 in the NYC market. Overall he averages 9 million plus radio listeners per week. Arbitron keeps track of radio station ratings, but I’m not sure if their site tracks the ratings of individual programs in each market.

Thank you. I like the sound of either one. While we all have our political preferences, too often people let those feelings cloud their better judgment. Even if the NYC ratings for Beck aren’t great, overall he generates the third-best ratings of any individual radio host. NYC has a lot of liberals and a lot of stations to choose from (Arbitron tracks over 50). Beck will be just fine.

At ONE station. The problem is you’re overstating the case. Beck’s program is still the THIRD MOST POPULAR in the country.

I’d say that even with a 6.5% drop in ratings, Beck is still doing just fine and generates excellent numbers for cable television. And as it stands, only Limbaugh and Hannity are listened to by more people on the radio. His books are bestsellers. It’s absurd to suggest that his popularity is in serious trouble or that he doesn’t remain an extremely powerful and influential media figure.

about time this jackass started realizing that his bullshit only goes so far……besides… the older white people that believe his (and Limbaugh) garbage- are fading fast….

Greg Palmer says:
“Then why does Beck have 2 to 5 times the rating compared to the other cable new shows during his time period?”

Because there are millions of people who don’t care about the facts; they want to be told what they already suspect.

A better question might be why are there so many gullible people who don’t care that Beck is a liar, a charlatan and a hypocrite. I thought that many of his followers were devoted Christians, but Beck says things that would make Jesus spin in his tomb if He were…you know, still in it.

That’s very interesting. I have had some sense that cable “news” came into its own shortly before its demise. I do find myself getting breaking news alerts on my Blackberry and then going on-line or to television for the details if I am so interested. I’ll often follow up with more details in newspapers. In that type of atmosphere cable “news” is simply redundant. It could well be cable “news” is all commentary soon, which should position FOX “News” very well indeed.

Interestingly, I found myself toggling amongst a couple of online sources election night. It was rather nice getting the news, just as quickly, without the blabbering idiots on MSNBC or FOX “News”.

Thank goodness for laptops, so that even from Europe the King can share his misogynistic and stereotypical comments.

Having long been a conservative bastion, I can’t imagine Beck doing poorly in New York City.

Right. That 1% of Americans watching FOX “News” is staggering.

And yet Fox News garners about 99 percent of your posting time. Can you say, “obsessed”? One would truly have to wonder why someone tries to marginalize Fox News by the numbers, so to speak, and yet spends an inordinate amount of time discussing this supposedly irrelevant entity. I guess there are psychological experts for that, lol.

It is sad. Even in glamorous areas of Europe, where little English is spoken, the King can’t stop thinking about Fox.

WOR has always played second-fiddle to WABC in the talk radio spectrum in NYC. They’ve never really programmed the station well, having shows like Dr. Joy Browne and Joan Hamburg in the middle of a right/libertarian talk show lineup.

Mark wrote:
“Managers at WOR made it clear in an interview with the New York Daily News the programming decision was not about Beck, but the bottom line.”

Given how Beck is the cornerstone of Murdoch’s propaganda machine, I don’t see Beck being pushed off Fox until either Murdoch loses unacceptable amounts of money to keeping the wreckless Beck on the air OR the REAL journalists (all two of them) threaten to depart unless Beck is shown the door.

Hell, I beck CNN and MSNBC would gladly take Shep Smith if he took a stand against Beck and lost.

DING DONG!! DING DONG!!!

“Having long been a conservative bastion, I can’t imagine Beck doing poorly in New York City.”

It’s a rare day when I type the following: That’s exactly what I was thinking “writer.”

So that’s what it is! GBR mistakenly thought that Beck is a journalist doing a news broadcast. No wonder he stayed so worked up. Boy, I bet his face is red now that he realizes Beck is just doing an opinion show.

Twas time to dump this low-life troglodyte. New Yorkers are well-ahead of the unwashed masses out there.

I guess that makes you the 5th most no-responsive poster on Mediaite.

Darn, still no name for me.

That’s h-u-g-e, H – UUUUU – G – E, I say. If you’d like to post this over at the Koldy’s PHOX Phan Klub as proof of your shrill sucking-up to the Beckerhead and your bona fides, please feel free to do so and give Blackthong my very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Ah yes… the website you love so much, you talk about it, and apparently stalker-ishly read it consistently.

I just wonder, with all the “world traveling” and “position of national importance” you allegedly hold, how you have time for it. Amazing! And they say people slow down as they age.

Oh well… since you ignored the evidence I posted, and the proof that you don’t exactly know what you’re talking about, I’ll take it as you actually saying, “Stop disagreeing with me, I hate it when you point out things I don’t know!”

You know, you appeared to be off your game a bunch last year… and it looks like that trend is continuing. Buck up, cowboy! One of these days you’ll find the horse.

Greg Palmer says:“Then why does Beck have 2 to 5 times the rating compared to the other cable new shows during his time period?” Because there are millions of people who don’t care about the facts; they want to be told what they already suspect. A better question might be why are there so many gullible people who don’t care that Beck is a liar, a charlatan and a hypocrite. I thought that many of his followers were devoted Christians, but Beck says things that would make Jesus spin in his tomb if He were…you know, still in it.

“A better question might be why are there so many gullible people who don’t care that…” is GBR’s way of saying, “WHY IS NOBODY READING MY WEB SITE?”

Poor guy. All he wants is page clicks… and is having such trouble. And if that weren’t bad enough, he genuinely hates Beck so much, he just can’t figure out why people aren’t flocking to him. Damnit, he wants to be a hero… and well, just isn’t.

Actually, I like my news hosts and hostesses dressed conservatively and well, and I like the sets and graphics simple. Huw Edwards is one of my favorites, or should I say favourites? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8sPvOLpeo8&feature=related

*Sigh* A fan of the old, white, man anchor. And here I thought you were more progressive than that.

The Real Royal King said:
I tend to agree with you, but I am still unclear why viewership on all cable “news” seemed to have dropped in a hot election year.

The reason is simple… it was a MIDTERM election. While we, as news followers were interested… most people weren’t entirely concerned. Had this not been an election year, the numbers would have fallen even further. Expect lower numbers in 2011, starting to rise near the end of the year, and a big jump in 2012.

But it is nice to see you finally recognizing how misleading and foolish your first post was. Beck’s numbers are down… but no more than the industry around him.

And modest, too!

I have no research, however consider the possibility that for some reason the population might be facing some sort of challenge. If 2 or 3 % of the 67% national Cable/Sat. subscribers drop their service, that would translate to a 4 to 8 % drop in viewer levels. Is that possible?

I understand movie ticket count was off close to 5% in 2010. (butts in seats, not cash taken in)

Eh… Weiner is just a jerk who loves attention. Rangel is fraudulent, unethical, and a scammer, and should have been booted a long time ago.

O’Reilly never did particularly well in NYC on WOR (up against entrenched Limbaugh at noon on WABC), BUT he did gangbusters in other markets like Boston in that same time slot. Go figure.

I am almost certain that has something to do with it. When you’re cutting a household budget, cable/satellite is a good place to start. My wife and I have been thinking about the X-Box/Netflix route, and going to basic cable.

Key word here is guessing. Let us know when you’ve read and actually understand Cloward and Piven’s theory .

HINT: It does not apply to the federal government.

We need stations to stand up and take a stand in the public interest. THEY need to boot Beck off the airwaves because of the damage he’s doing to people’s minds. Beck has done more to create misunderstanding of reality than anyone since Rush Limbaugh. Unanswered question is why people want to be misinformed.

Joe, why do you enjoy having Beck tell you lies?

DING DONG!!! DING DONG!!!

Here’s a quick prediction for all of you who think or hope this spells the end for Beck…a year from now he will still have one of the highest rated shows on Cable and still have one of the highest rated radio show on the airwaves and you’ll still be saying his days are numbered.

According to Arbitron, WOR is ranked #22 in the New York City market. http://www.arbitron.com/home/content.stm

Which means, of course, that Mr. Beck will soon appear on another NYC station–most likely a 100,000 watt flamethrower–and his ratings will skyrocket.

People who follow Beck are like minded and looking for his schtick. They agree with him and there are a lot of crazies like the cop killer in Pittsburg and the guy driving to San Fran to kill folks at the Tides foundation that follow and believe every one of his wacko schemes. Some stations are realizing these nut jobs can and will cause them to be named in the massive lawsuit that one of Becks followers will eventually bring. Hence the droppage of the ole Beckerhead. Look for more to drop this ticking time bomb as his time is hopefully nearing it’s end.

You’re talking about “Pop” Poplovsky and Byron Williams. I hope you are right about networks not wanting to become part of the problem, legal or otherwise; but it seems to be a financial decision. That’s not true for Fox which is losing money on Beck. Beck has become the cornerstone of Murdoch’s propaganda machine, so the corrupt Murdoch keeps the hyper-propagandist on his television stage.

WOR dropping Beck due to poor ratings. People in NYC see a broader range of humanity then the typical person who follows Beck. New Yorkers read more than the average for the rest of the country. They tend be more aware and as as a result less susceptible to the lies that Beck spreads. Conservatives in NYC generally read. Unlike Beck’s audience. The pseudo religiosity of Beck is seen as offensive even to conservatives in the multicultural NYC environment. Bloomberg is a NYC Republican. Can you imagine someone with his intelligence listening to Glen Beck? Glen Beck and his ilk cannot survive in the market place of ideas in a population where people are exposed to a wide spectrum of humanity. He can thrive in rural or suburban areas and smaler cities where people drive their cars everywhere and only interact with a small circle of people who are usually just like them.

G-U-L-L-I-B-L-E

Pablo, you need a new hero. Make it another reactionary; that’s cool. Just make it an honest reactionary like Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan. The latter says things that are flat out backward’s thinking, but at least he’s honest. Repeating Beck’s nonsense just makes you out to be a complete moron. Maybe that’s not the case, although nothing you’ve written on here yet disproves that objective observation. Nobody defending a proven liar and proven hypocrite is worthy of respect. Harsh, I know; but that’s the way it is with bare knuckle, smash mouth politics.

Another victim of public education chimes in.

Most people observe with a critical eye. Some are able to gain through changing their perspectives when they are provided with some revelation that, when first revealed, contradicts their beliefs or preconceived notions.

Still, some find themselves too rigid in their ideology to ever change their views–it is uncomfortable for them and people are naturally resistant when it comes to leaving their comfort zone.

We have, in Glenn Beck, someone who provides a fresh perspective on many of the things we once thought we knew all there was to know. It is the person who would expand their acuity who takes time to open-mindedly ponder a new idea and offer it their full and honest consideration. The rest are destined to remain ignorant and profess, often with harsh rebuke, their denial of the truth revealed to them.

Fortunately, most people are starved for the TRUTH–they will do anything within their ability to seek the TRUTH–and this fact explains why Fox News has been first in the ratings for more than nine years, it explains why Rush Limbaugh has the most listend to radio program in the history of radio, and it explains why Mr. Beck enjoys such gargantuan ratings on radio and television, and why every book he writes flies off the shelves.

pyrope says:
“We have, in Glenn Beck, someone who provides a fresh perspective on many of the things we once thought we knew all there was to know. ”

We have in Glenn Beck a habitual liar, possibly a pathological liar. His “fresh perspective” is “fresh” because he pulls “facts” out of his ass. It’s not too hard to fact check Beck, pydope; what’s your excuse aside from profound gullibility?

You mention people being a victim of public education, pydope, but then you assert: “Fortunately, most people are starved for the TRUTH–they will do anything within their ability to seek the TRUTH–and this fact explains why Fox News has been first in the ratings for more than nine years, it explains why Rush Limbaugh has the most listend to radio program in the history of radio,….”

Wherever you got your “education,” two words come to mind: EPIC FAILURE.

Glenn Beck (and liar Limbaugh) are living proof that Lincoln was right: you can fool some of the people all of the time. Pydope, you’re one of those fools.

You are a little confused. Glen Beck has been repeatedly caught either providing patently false information or taking true information out of context to distort the implication of the factual information he is presenting. Independent watchdog organizations have repeatedly pointed this fact out. You would have to have kept your head in the proverbial sand dune on a beach not not realize this.

http://politifact.com/personalities/glenn-beck/

Unfortunately the type of person both Glen Beck and Fox News appeal to are the lowest common denominator in society, Beck, Limbaugh and Fox News are the McDonalds of news, popular but of very low quality.

They are the people who do not have the patience to read The New York Times or The Washington Post. USA Today is the most popular newspaper in America for a reason. It presents news in a simplistic, way. Glen Beck and Fox News present opinion as news in a simplistic or as my grandmother used to say target for people who aspire to be “common” way. The kind of people who when they were in school would rather drink a six pack of Bud ,than ever think of studying on a Friday or Saturday night. We all knew those type of people. Their grades reflected their laziness. They actually go Cs in undergraduate school. George Bush was one of their own.

Fox News and Glen Beck help this class of people feel good about themselves and their failures in life. They tell them that their problems and societies problems, are not a result of their own inherent limitations or laziness. It is someone else’s fault, those liberals, those pointy headed intellectuals who they hated in school . Who better to carry this message than a member of their own slothful group, a former drunkard himself, Glen Beck.

Some people just don’t buy into the continual liberal spin. In fact, apparently most people do not. Don’t you suppose that is why readership of the NYT, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, and the WaPo are declining every day? Of course not! You rely on them to give you your opinion.

I investigated the pop-up filled link to Politico. Fortunnately, my pop-up blocker works well. In looking at the so-called “score” on Mr. Beck, I am left with quite a few questions:

1. I am not entirely certain Mr. Beck made all the statements that were claimed to have been false. Yes, I did hear him say that Wilmington, OH had not accepted federal tax dollars, but since all public schools accept federal tax dollars Pollitico could well be comparing oranges to apples. In that case, I chide Mr. Beck for not fully qualifying his statement. Score 1 for your side.

2. The items listed as facts (funny, there was only 1) would indicate some slanting on the part of Politico, since it is highly likely that Mr. Beck has stated thousands of facts during the course of his programs and in his books.

armwood said:
It is someone else’s fault

As a recovering alcoholic–”recovering” being the operative term–the LAST thing Mr. Beck would do would be to encourage someone to foist off responsibility for anything. That’s not the way recovery works. Recovery is ALL about accepting responsibility for one’s own actions. BUT, any individual cannot rightfully accept responsibility for that which he/she cannot control. The politicians who have driven this country into a downward spiral toward third-worldism have patently ignored the will of the people in doing so. But, Mr. Beck DOES not hold harmless those of us who have allowed the downward spiral to continue. In fact, just the opposite is true, exempli gratia:

Mr. Beck encourages his listeners to first look within themselves and become the person they should be and then become a force for positive change. How can any rational mind argue with that premise? His charge is that we have been too complacent in allowing this downward spiral to continue for so long as it has.

Mr. Beck is saying what I have been saying for years, but I have the advantage (if you call it that) of being from another country. What I saw happening in Greece, when I left in 1966, is what I see happening in the US today. Does it not logically follow that if, allowed to continue on its current course, the US will become Greece? I think it does.

Finally, I must realize that no man is perfect, and Mr. Beck is but a man. Still, I have done my own investigations of his claims found in his books (I don’t often get to watch his TV program or listen to his radio broadcasts because of other commitments), and what I’ve consistently been able to discern is that Mr. Beck provides facts and his logic is reasonable. He’s not Aristotle, but he’s pretty darned good.

the sock puppet, pydope says:
“YOU are a lie GBR. Your posts and claims prove it beyond doubt. Why is it you think all others are lying when so many indicate you are the liar.”

Prove it. “So many others” is the a-hole Gordon the blowhard with a show, and he can’t prove that I get my facts wrong any more than you can. YOU don’t even try, and the one time Gordon tried, I moped the floor with his shoddy claims.

What your bogus claim does — and the only thing it attempts to accomplish — is to cast doubt about my credibility. You can’t do that. If you can prove that I have anything wrong, factually incorrect, on The Glenn Beck Review, I will make a correction. I have challenged Beck’s loyal supporters to do just that. I’ve invited NewsBusters and Media Research Center to try to show where I have my facts wrong, and they have not done so.

Neither will you, sock puppet, pydope; because, like Gordon, you’re just attacking me personally to defend your hero, the reknown, habitual liar, charlatan and hypocrite, Glenn Beck. You cannot disprove any of those three assertions, because I have every one of them documented extensively.

Next time you call me a liar, grow a pair, pydope, and prove your baseless accusation.

pydope says:
“My life is happy and fulfilled as I am free to donate my time and talents to helping the less fortunate.
What about you? What have you donated except your mindless drivel, personal insults, and false claims?”

Right. You, an anonymous sock puppet, can claim anything you want. Why not? No one knows who pydope is because pydope is just a sock puppet. Hell, pydope, claim to be the King of England or Denmark. No one can disprove anything you claim. See? You can get away with lying because I can’t disprove your claim. That is the advantage of being a sock puppet.

When you can prove that I have any of my facts wrong, pydope, you will earn my respect. Until then, you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror when you mention “mindless drivel” and “false claim.” (It’s called projection.)

One of these days, you’ll address my claims and stop your reactionary, stupid ad hominem attacks. They do not reflect well on you. Neither, for that matter, does your opinion and support of the proven liar and complete hypocrite, Glenn Beck. Turning blind eyes toward his hypocrisy does not make it go away. It only conveys your ethical retardation.

armwood says:

“Glen Beck has been repeatedly caught either providing patently false information or taking true information out of context to distort the implication of the factual information he is presenting. Independent watchdog organizations have repeatedly pointed this fact out. You would have to have kept your head in the proverbial sand dune on a beach not not realize this.”

It’s called biased assimilation, armwood. Because of their reactionary (libertarian) political bias, they WANT what Beck says to be so. That is how they internalize his false claims, as “the truth.” Plus, Beck tells his gullible followers over and over and over that he is telling them the truth. Beck knows that successful advertisers repeat their claims over and over and over.

I give Beck full credit: he is a masterful propagandist. The sooner more people realize that, the sooner they will understand that Beck is not trustworthy and Fox, for giving him that stage he’s on, is not a news organization. Fox propaganda is a red (conservative) version of Beck’s yellow (reactionary) propaganda. It is an un-American media.

Prove it.

I’ve offered on numerous occasions to prove my claims. You are too cowardly to accept my bet. Again, anything from $10K to $100K, deposited in a bank in Las Vegas by both of us, we will meet at the bank, I will provide my bona fides, and you will LOSE the bet. PUT UP OR SHUT UP YOU CHICKENSHIT.

Shove it pydope; if you had any real interest in the TRUTH, you’d just take my assertions without putting money on the line. How about honor pydope? If truth matters to you, which I doubt from anyone supporting Beck, then just challenge my facts with counter facts and get on with it. I’m not taking time off from work.

Now, which of my facts do you want to challenge, sock puppet? 1) Sock puppets like you are afraid to use your real names online. ) Beck is a liar. 3) Beck is a hypocrite. If I’m wrong about 1, then tell us your name or face the hypocrisy of calling me “chickenshit.”

C’mon, coward, what is it? Pydope = ____________.

So far, you haven’t stated any facts but you’ve called others liars and spread your little junior highschool level insults about. Now that you’ve called me a liar and I’ve challenged you to a bet, you crawl back into your little anonymous hole in the wall from whence you spread your lies and vitriol. Now the world knows you’re a slimy little coward. I knew it from the first time I read one of your stupid little posts.

The cowardly sock-puppet, pydope says:
“So far, you haven’t stated any facts”

So far, you haven’t demonstrated the ability to comprehend English, but I’ll try again.

Beck lied about Obama’s “apology tour.” Obama didn’t apologize although he since has for the illegal experiments the U.S. did to prisoners in Latin America.

Beck lied about G. Soros sending Jews to death camps. For that, there is a petition to have Beck fired.

Beck told twelve whoppers last year., which means that he lied when he claimed that he’d be fired from Fox if he made unfounded statements.

There, sock puppet Pydope; that’s 15 lies for you to investigate and show where Beck was not lying.

I’m “anonymous” pydope? My name is Victor Tiffany. It’s on the Glenn Beck Review, and I’m not a coward.

I’m waiting for you to disprove anything I’ve asserted, and if you can, I’ll update my argument. That’s called credibility which you don’t have and Beck has even less of.

You accuse me of “vitriol” and turn blind eyes at Beck’s dangerous and deceitful vitriol. There’s a difference: I make every effort to get my facts right about Beck, while Glenn Beck and the facts have barely a passing acquaintance. I’ve proven that over and over and over. What I see from you is a shill defender of an ethical pygmy and a hypocrite. I’ll take the latter back when you tell us your name sock puppet and when YOU stop with YOUR “little junior highschool level insults.”

Enough of your childish and low brow ad hominem attacks: show where I have my facts wrong. Prove where I have my facts wrong about Beck or admit that you’re a liar and a jackass yourself.

Pydope, the sock puppet, I don’t think I have the 15 whoppers he told pointing in the right direction:

Beck’s 15 whoppers of 2010, not that you’ll bother even trying to prove that he had the facts right. 15 whoppers and Beck’s vitriol that you won’t denounce…unless you think Obama is a partner with Lucifer.

Glenn Beck has got to go!

The only people who do not readily grasp that Glenn Beck is a bald faced liar are his loyal fans who are too ignorant to comprehend when Beck lies and don’t want face up to the truth. Glenn Beck lies about Van Jones, about Obama, about telling the truth even! The latter makes Glenn Beck a hypocrite, not just that one time though, but over and over again, Beck demonstrates that he’s a blatant hypocrite!

Beck took one college course on the history of religion and dropped out. He has spent his entire life working hard and preparing to be a huge radio star, not studying political theory or political science. Beck is not much more than an amazing performance artist and an extremely convincing demagogue with ideas that Republican, President Eisenhower considered “stupid” in his days as President. Glenn Beck demonstrates repeatedly that he has virtually no understanding of political language or ideas. Beck is a yellow propagandist who comes across as sincerely interested in the country but his motivations are “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.”

We have, in Glenn Beck, someone who provides a fresh perspective on many of the things we once thought we knew all there was to know. It is the person who would expand their acuity who takes time to open-mindedly ponder a new idea and offer it their full and honest consideration. The rest are destined to remain ignorant and profess, often with harsh rebuke, their denial of the truth revealed to them.

It is about as fresh as Benedict Arnold’s body.
