What is the deal with Glenn Beck?

[FatherofFive]

You don't promote the competition, IMHO.

Beck is #3 and gaining.

Does Coke promote Pepsi in your world?

Freepers.

The apostrophe is possessive; plural uses no apostrophe.

I don’t think the top 10 guys usually refer to each other very much, other than Beck and O’Reilly.

[Halls]

I hadn’t picked up on that. Beck has had Limbaugh on his show. Limbaugh speaks well of Beck when I’ve heard him talk of him. But who knows!

[bearsgirl90]

Well, Bill 'O Reilly must think Glenn's okay.
They're doing a book tour or something like that.

[norwaypinesavage]

I have heard both Limbaugh and Hannity speak well of Beck on their shows. Maybe his books really aren't so good that they warrant mention on web sites that rarely push books.

[dforest]

Don’t forget Beck has a contract with FOX news. I believe they are kind of expected to get along.

This is something I would not worry about too mucn.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Thanks for the reminder....Glenn’s on!!

[7thson]

Sorry, that doesn’t wash. Hannity, Limbaugh, and Levin all talk about and promote each other. Mainly because they are friends and probably because they all belong to the same syndicated group. Coulter, Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, and Ingraham all promote and push the other’s books. Only Ingraham pushes a book by Beck. Beck is taking a lot of the stuff mentioned first by Levin and then by others and expanding on it - drawing diagrams, putting faces to names, etc.

Radio stations do not like you mentioning other people who are not on your radio station

[MozarkDawg]

Rush personally asked Glenn to write about him for last year's Time 100 Most Influential (or something like that) piece, he's hardly shunning Glenn. What you see has nothing whatever to do with *aligning with O'Reilly*, nor are they being "cautious". As for this:

Is Beck really a conservative or is he just doing what he is doing to make a buck and a name.

Rush was forever tagged with only trying to make a buck, this has become a tired insult. And yes, Glenn is really a conservative, one with libertarian leanings.

[Don Corleone]

You don't stick your neck out (and your family's) as far as he has just for ratings. He believes!

[Mr. Lucky]

If you don’t want honest answers, don’t ask Freepers questions.

Baloney -- Glenn was provided with the video of the ACORN stings, the damning pieces of Van Jones and Anita Dunn by Andrew Brietbart himself, he didn't draft off of others. You can leave Rush out of the mix, Hannity and Levin are another story, one told by the ratings, viewers and listeners.

Just sayin ...

[GregB]

Bingo!!!!!

[Logic n' Reason]

You may have it right....possibly.

But it's going to be fun and interesting to watch the "shakeup" at FOX if Lou Dobbs comes on the scene.
