Good analysis of Glenn Beck.

“Beck hired former Huffington Post CEO Betsy Morgan to run The Blaze”

I did not know that. Unless she has had a change of heart about the marxist messiah in the White house and socialism in general, I do not understand this hire.

While Beck is clearly very popular, I question whether he is making any money for Fox. The sponsor boycott program that was successfully launched some time ago has left Fox with a bunch of guys selling gold as their only sponsors for Beck’s time slot. If Beck leaves that will be at least one of the key reasons for his departure.

I don’t watch Beck as his program is not on my schedule and I only occasionally catch him on TV or Sirius.

But the guy is everywhere and apart from his quivering lip crap, I really like his programs.

The detractors are complete blithering idiots if they think his star is falling.

I mean how can a guy draw some 500,000 people to D.C. on a Hot, Balmy August day and suddenly find himself in free fall?

He isn’t in free fall and a whispering campaign isn’t going to bring it about.

Could it be because he is working on “one heart at a time”.
It has been working for the pro life movement.

I recall when The Blaze first launched, Glenn said that he hired a lot of people who were not conservatives, because he felt they would scrutinize the stories being published.

I listened to Beck early on radio before he was on TV and before his buddy Pat.

He was funny as hell, preachy but not over bearing.

I can only take a few minutes of beck, too much gloom and doom.

He raises some good points, and mostly I agree with his views, but my brain needs a little lightness not "the end is near".

My 401k is now a 101K, I eat smaller portions of dog food, and I know that 2012 is the end of the world {according to someone, I'm sure}, but I still want to laugh and enjoy life.

Beck to me is like a fine Scotch, with just a little, it's great, anymore makes my head spin.

Yeah, gold has been a losing investment for advertisers for some time now. Those companies aren’t making money hand over fist.

Look Roger Ailes personally asked Glenn to come over to Fox News from CNN HLN. If Roger Ailes or Rupert Murdock don’t like the product that Glenn is putting out then they can FIRE him. Don’t see it happening.

She maybe a somewhat of a "void" and just gets the business angle and i.e his desire to create a brand much like Turner and Oprah did..

Funny thing is even the most liberal seem to have an espistomolical conversion as they work for him and the truth hits them in the head like a frying pan...

I turn the TV on once per day and that is only to watch Glenn Beck.

We must support Glenn at every opportunity...every one of our common enemies are 'gunning' for him.

audiences for ALL politically themed programming...cable news, radio talk shows, etc.....tends to fall-off after the end of an election cycle. MSM is hoping we’ll all buy into the spin that this is not a normal cyclical phenomenon.

If he wouldn’t, I am sure he would be off by now

As we say in the South, "hit dog hollers". The fact that they are "gunning" for him shows he's getting to them.....
