Why Fox fired Glenn Beck
Deseret News ^ | April 13, 2011 | Jason Wright

Posted on 04/13/2011 10:06:32 AM PDT by ForGod'sSake

You've heard that Fox News fired Glenn Beck, right? You heard that Fox couldn't manage him anymore. You read that network president Roger Ailes canned him to stem the rush of advertisers fleeing his program. You saw on the evening news that his program has been shedding viewers so fast Beck can hardly stop crying.

Those headlines and news leads have been repeated so often it’s safe to assume they’re all true. Even Beck’s kids must think their old man got a pink slip.

Except that he didn’t.

The grossly misleading headlines are typical of competing networks and talking heads that prefer a controversial story about sinking ships to the truth. Of course they’re rooting for Fox and Beck’s collective failures; that’s the game plan in a highly competitive marketplace.

True. MormonISM is the same to Christianity as sitting on the kitchen counter makes you a toaster.

I will miss his show too,but you know he has taught me so much about the thugs in the white house along with the thugs they hang around with..I now know that the Muslim is a puppet of Soros where I knew about Soros but didnt know how much he is involved in our countries downfall and what is going on..I knew he was a Nazi lover and turned his Jewish friends into the Nazi’s and led them to them and those people were murdered by the pig Nazis.Now that is a filthy piece of work he is filthy..Oh well, at lease we know now..

I think we will be seeing Glenn again..He still has his radio show..

Wasn’t going to bother reading it because of the title - but now I’m glad I did. It’s well written.

If the libs liked Glenn Beck then they’re gonna love Judge Napolitano who, unlike Beck, is a self-identified Tea Party member.

True enough but da judge is no Glenn Beck. I watched him play footsie with Charlie(((SPIT))) Rangel, the criminal rep from NY the other day and I could be wrong, but it looked like pure theater. Watching FoxNews for any length of time is becoming more difficult with each passing day. What little edge came with their "fair and balanced" reportage is losing it temper. Most of their newsers seem to regularly get sucker punched by the libtards they often have on. Going up against congenital liars and tax cheats is not for the faint of heart. Fox seems to be losing it.

I think you are right we would love to have him here..At least he would not have to breath the same air that the liberal breath where he is now..

People do love him here..

I do agree he should stay away from Austin area..East Texas is good ,but Central Texas is better..Lots of good land in both area's. LOL!

Heh. This ol' man has moved to the feeder street looking for a gravel road. Got off the freeway years ago -- thank God!

He accomplished his mission. It is time to move on.

That's possible. I often wondered how he managed to keep all the balls in the air. Coming up with more or less new material every day for three hours of radio and an hour on the tube has to be a killer. I hope he remains visible enough to continue to give the moonbats heartburn.

Indeed. The author apparently accomplished his mission and I was sure it would get Freepers' attention.

The Mormons worship another God and another Jesus, not the God and Jesus of the Bible.

Glenn, is a rich man,he is a true Christian making a difference in this country

Uhm, isn’t Glenn a Morman? That makes him not a Christian, doesn’t it?

Precisely! And if he had continued to harp on the same theme his brand would grow stale. He now has big Mo to utilize in another endeavor.

I do think he wants to get out of NYC. He already has his home in Connecticut on the market for sale....so this is something that he has been planning.

I appreciate most of what Napolitano says, I just wish he’d quit yelling all the time. We get the point, does it have to be driven home at 250dB?
