While his fans still love him, for some folks his shtick has gotten old. For others, he's just worn out his welcome.

Fox is in business for one reason only. Reach as many eyes in a specific target demographic to acquaint viewers with products and services offered by advertisers. Anything that furthers that mission is embraced. If it fails to achieve that aim, it's abandoned.

"We're not in the business of providing news and information. We're not in the business of providing well-researched music. We're simply in the business of selling our customers products."

That brutally honest statement from Lowry Mays founder of Clear Channel Communications (which owns Premiere, the syndicator of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity) aptly summarizes the purpose of broadcasting and cablecasting in a consumer-driven, free market system. It's been that way since the first commercial aired on radio in the 1920's.

"Its no secret that Beck's ratings have dropped off in the last year." His rating are still nearly 3 times that of his nearest competitor.

You say everyone has been dropping and that includes Beck. So what I posted is true. Just that Beck has fallen the most.

All evidence points to a drop off of one-third of his audience. Last year at this time Beck was pulling in 3-million viewers. Last Thursday he was at 1.9-million.

After that huge and successful rally in DC, his shows are a let down and a little dull.

To: My Favorite Headache; tirednvirginia

There were two duplicate threads posted in breaking news. If you look at the timestamp on this thread (3:26:34) your thread was posted 2 minutes after this one (3:28:49). I don’t know why the mods decided to leave yours in breaking news rather than this one. At any rate, it’s very confusing now as people are posting on both threads and I can’t keep up with it. One of these threads should be locked; makes no never mind to me which one. But this thread was posted first.

The sky is falling, and Beck's ratings are getting so low that CNN will want to hire him.

I think I just hurt myself laughing so loud.

Ailes will keep him. Profits are priority #1!
