Beck is what he is.

That said, he DOES serve a valuable purpose in the conservative movement especially in exposing while educating folks on the leftist agenda.

Focus on the man’s words and not his emotions.

JMO..

Beck @ 5pm is the only FNC show I watch on a regular basis.

Beck is gone. The leftwing has successfully planted the seed that fox is going to let beck go. And here we are talking about beck leaving.

I think FNC would be far better without Beck

Are you kidding? It's the only show I never miss. I even record it, just in case.

Beck is plenty principled.

The judge is a good guy but he doesn’t bring in the ratings. Or perhaps you don’t believe in the free market.

Beck is exposing the lies in Postmodernism and socialism which are embedded in our school systems and indoctrinating our children into a worldview that is antithetical to the Founding documents of this country. He understands the meaning of “fundamental transformation” which these Marxists are trying to establish in ways that Kelly and Cavuto avoid.

Of course, he is emotion. All human beings should be. Why would you not want the important truth that Beck is unearthing in the most logical, easily understandable way, be silenced? No one on Fox comes close to confronting the evil agenda that is taking over this country’s institutions and the minds of the children (which will decide the future).

Beck sheds light and facts on so much of the Left’s agenda - it’s not good for anyone if he leaves. FNC should have moved Greta to 5:00 PM and gave Beck her time slot.

I think if Fox is considering dumping him, it has to do with kowtowing to the administration...it surely cannot be from providing information to the masses point of view. Alles has been taking a lot of arrows with Beck and advertisers have gone elsewhere due to the lefts boycotts.

Besides, he is on at 5PM in the east. This is not what I would consider prime time. Also, it is not a news show, it is an opinion hour.

Looking later in the day, we have BOR to tell the guest what he thinks they should say and call it an interview...Hannity, with a guest panel that would do better on the gong show, and Greta, whose show I like a lot as she gets quality interviewees to appear, every night.

Were I am resetting the Fox lineup, I would replace Hannity with Beck, move BOR to Greta’s spot and lead off with Greta. I would then take the five o clock hour and have two days of the judge and three days of Hannity, it is kind of a toss away hour anyway. The 7PM hour unfortunately is tied up with simpleton smith just to keep the network “fair and unbalanced”.

You are foolish or silly to think Fox Al Waleed is any better than Disney/ABC/Al Waleed or CNN/TW/Al Waleed or NBC/CNBC/MSNBC/GE/Comcast/Al Waleed or Viacom - help us buy Kirch Al Waleed or Bloomberg we want access to the ME Al Waleed.

You are a sheep to think it matters. Fox is covering for the usurper with the O Reilly, Beck, Coulter and other Fox “birther” cracks. Fox is covering for hussein. You are being fooled and you look like a dhimini tool/serf. ALL TV supports the usurper. Fools.

I know Beck has some loyal fans here, but the guy is WAY too emotional for my personal tastes. I think FNC would be far better without Beck, ....

That goes for me too. Even if you agree 100% with his political point, the way he goes about it is just, plain .... weird.

I can listen to Hannity for his entire show and enjoy it but I can only put up with Beck for five minutes before I need push the Mute button.

Beck feeds into the left-wing talking points that all conservatives have a screw loose. When the Left wants to scare the children, they drag out Beck.

If it were not for Beck, my knowledge of the history of my country would be mostly propaganda. When he sticks to uncovering facts, he has my rapt attention. The picture changes, though, when he gets preachy, which is most of the time lately. Then he gets on my nerves. Given the facts, I can draw my own conclusions. So for me he is both love and yuck, and although I sometimes annoyed by what he says, I am definitely on his side & wholeheartedly join with Beck Boosters.

we are known and judged by the company we keep...myself, i don’t ask, just listening tells a man’s beliefs and lack thereof...

Napolitano (the judge) could make better use of that Faux time...

I think he's smart, and very good at what he does, but he's boring. If Glenn isn't on, I usually find something else to do. The same goes for Rush. If he has a stand in, it's too boring to listen to. I just can't handle the monotone. Without Glenn's and Rush's personalities, neither would be as famous as they are today.

Here www.watchglennbeck.com

Delayed by several hours, but daily full episodes with commercials edited out.

We still have TV (for movie rental) but have canceled our TV service. Haven’t missed it one bit.

He could open an amusement park and call it Heritage USA or something...

Hello Sir. You seem to be something of a student of history. Emotions aside, do you find his observations to be fact based?

That goes straight to what I wrote in Post 31.

No matter how true or valuable a message is, if you deliver it like a creepy clown, most people will push the Mute button after 5 minutes. I have never been able to stomach a Glenn Beck show from start to finish.

Maybe that is why his ratings are dropping.

Glenn Beck's Ratings Collapse ..... Glenn Beck's total number of viewers are down by almost 30%

I'm not a big fan of Beck himself but I love his TV show. He hits the issues and facts no one else dares to confront. Let's face it, if you've seen one episode of Hannity then you've seen every episode of Hannity. He harps on the same issues every night with the same 10 rotating “guests”. Hannity and O’Reilly have become colossal bores. Beck's show is the only fresh news programming going on.

O’Reilly completely crapped in his nest with me with that ridiculous masturbatory interview he did with the mulatto in chief for the Superbowl.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

Regards,

TS
