Fair and Balanced=They tell the Truth 1/2 the time.
You conservatives do realize, don’t you, that Beck is a self-proclaimed Libertarian? Not a conservative, but a Libertarian? Fox has hired a slew of them, Stossel, Judge Napolitano, Beck, and although not a Libertarian, Lou Dobbs is a self-proclaimed “Independent”. I think Fox felt it was safer to populate its shows with Libertarians rather than outright Conservatives, as long as the Obama Admin exists, and could screw around with Fox in various ways. They already, through the Admin’s surrogates, attack Fox with great regularity verbally, and with the boycott of Glenn’s program. I’ll miss Glen and I won’t. He has his virtues and his faults, and both are many. I’m too tired to list them, but Glenn helped greatly in exposing the Obama Admin’s ties to commie/socialists, and that in itself was worth the ride. I wish him the best in whatever he does next. It will be interesting to see where his career goes. Good thing he made his financial killing while at the height of his popularity. He is set for life now, money-wise. Good luck Glenn.
I listen to a podcast called “No Agenda” by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. Both Curry and Dvorak seem convinced that Fox News is a tool of the Democratic Party.
Good. I too am Libertarian first. I only vote Conservative for fear of Communist/Democrats. I do not mind Conservatives at all. We need them. Liberals however are the greatest danger the Republic has ever faced.
Does anybody watch Red eye? I watched it just once and it was the worst show I had ever seen! Sorry! Maybe I just watched on a bad night or I was just dead tired!
I loved the Glenn Beck Show.
Without it there is no incentive to watch Fox News.
I don't pay for entertainment, but I would strongly consider kicking in for a 'Pay-per-View' broadcast of Beck taking a taser to that northeast elitist SOB O'Reilly.
That would be an all time record breaking big seller!
“Do what I do. Don’t watch TV news channels at all. No one will give me a ten-minute “this is the news” broadcast, and that includes Fox News. There are better sources”.

True. Fox is more successful than the others only because they are slightly less liberal in comparison to the other cable news. In reality they are a typical “news” outlet common today, nothing more than a slew of “personalities” yapping over each other and no real hard unbiased news. They go overboard to make a point how “fair and balanced they are by sprinkling a bit of “conservatism” here and there when in reality they are moving more towards a liberal slant like all news today. Add to the fact that the liberals scream about how right wing Fox news is doesn’t hurt Fox’s reputation either.
That is true, but it is a step back in radio. 1210 covered all of SE PA up to Allentown and south Jersey down to DE. Huge markets make for big revenues. I am not sure what WILM's coverage is and what their advertising market is like. Losing the NYC market is also odd. He was kicked off after numbers came in pitting him against Joe Scarborough and Mika, who were also canned for being low rated. They were just awful too. WOR replaced Glenn with Mike Gallager, which is terrible radio, but they must have thought it would do better.
I am just listening to Glenn here. There are no coincidences. A lot of things are shifting around Glenn at once. Why? I don't buy into conspiracies. It all looks revenue driven to me. If I were to guess, his show has turned dark and manic over the last couple years. I know a few people that listen to music until Rush comes on now because they can't start their day with the steady apocalypse diet.
Well, considering that DE is so blue it hurts the eyes, Beck kicking a LIB show out is BIG news. Sorry, but 1450 hasn’t got much range north. It barely reaches PA, but we in DE are happy that there’s one less LIB talk show around.
Look, dumbass, I tried to be civil with you, but you are apparently unable to read. Where did I write that he lies? Show me. Now. Because you just lambasted me and accused me of saying Beck lies. I didn’t. Learn to read.
Duh, that would be where you say that “much of what he says is true”, which would imply that at least some of what he says, isn’t.
It’s a standard “damning with faint praise” tactic.
Still waiting for you to tell me what it is he’s saying that isn’t true...
That’s not what the statement means in the vernacular, and you know it. I agree with most of what Ann Coulter says just as I agree with most of what Beck says, but neither of them delivers the message in a way that is making us look good. Your bizarre response to my earlier message, and your hypersensitivity to any criticism of your apparent God is baffling. It is almost as if you’re a cult member—well, that’s fitting, because Beck comes across as a cult leader (there’s just something about mormonism, isn’t there?).
Saying you agree with most of what someone says, and saying that most of what they say is true, are hardly the same thing are they? One is an opinion. The other is a judgment.
Both are now reduced to a distraction, as you reveal your real problem with him in your last post.
(Personally, I appreciate his success at educating millions about the communist bent of the current administration. I couldn’t care less about his religion, and I didn’t even know what it was until Concern Trolls here on FR started making such a big deal about it.)
