Yet blue ribbon advertisers are leaving.



Won't last at least not for Beck if he keeps on losing advertisers.

If it happens I am sure you will let me know. Until then latest ratings, May 2010 have Beck with four times the viewers his latest competitors have and the quarterly results for Fox News has set a record for PROFITS.

Keep hoping that Beck fails instead of focusing on the real failure, Barack Obama.

Errr:

The Los Angeles Times' Joe Flint reports that News Corp.-owned Fox News cable news ratings are still high above the competition. But Glenn Beck's total number of viewers are down by almost 30%, from 2.9 million in January to 2.1 million in April.

WOW he lost more than Olberman:
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann – down 28%

And was the leader of the pack in losses for Fox:

Fox News' Bill O’Reilly– down 3%

MSNCB's Rachel Maddow – down 8%

Fox News' Greta Van Sustren – down 13%

Fox News' Sean Hannity
– down 17%

The FUNNIEST thing of all is Glenn does NOT CARE!! FOX might.. I'm not sure, as they sure don't seem to mind!

I guess what is right is sometimes more important than what is profitable. I ran my business on honesty as a partner of my clients and never applied honesty in regard to the bottom line. That is something that many will never understand, but Glenn gets 100%!

He has said that they WILL get him off the air.. but that will not stop the truth or him.. we all know where to find him and I guarantee you there will ALWAYS be a great audience for Mr. Beck... as people have a need to be told the truth, just as others are so afraid of it...

So IF GB gets the boot from FOX, what do you think that will do to the ratings? Remember that is HIS show not the property of FOX and he already has the machine in place to take it out there himself, when answering.

So let me see if I have this correct, Beck has four times the viewers than his closest competitor and that is a collapes in your world? No wonder this country is in such a mess with logic like that. keep buying what you are being told while ignoring actual results. You are a perfect example of what is wrong with this country today.

The actual results are that Beck lost far far more viewers than Olberman did.

LOL, yep, Beck is on at 5 P.M. daily and Olberman is on during prime time. Brilliant analysis as usual. Olberman doesn't have a lot of viewers to lose, does he?

Good Lord, Winston, why do you keep up this distortion. How many viewers does Chris Matthews have vs. Beck? That is a true comparison yet you want to point out the percentage change and cannot even get that right.

For some reason, probably attention, you want to carry on this charade which does nothing but divert from reality. Beck has 4 times the viewers of Matthews and Fox News made record profits the past quarter. Now I understand how disappointed that makes you and how frustrating that is for you but there comes a time when even you have to admit that liberalism has made a fool out of you. Beck is down from a much higher base but still attracts 4 times the viewers of Matthews. how can that be, Mr. liberal?

And now for the "Rest of the Story" as Paul Harvey used to say.

Glenn might not be the rising ratings juggernaut month to month, like he has always been. But he's still a powerhouse in the 5 p.m. timeslot. As Joe writes, "the decline in his audience has hardly made a dent on the lead he enjoys for his 5 p.m. festival of emotions. His rivals should hold off a little on popping the Champagne."

Michael Calderone at Yahoo! News has a similar assessment: "Even with smaller ratings numbers, he's still the second-highest-rated cable news host, behind only his Fox colleague Bill O'Reilly. And Beck's year-to-year drop since April 2009 was more modest than others — 7 percent among total viewers and 6 percent in the age 25-54 demographic (the viewership advertisers most covet)."

Do you understand anything beyond your shallow little hole? Beck lost far far more viewers than either Mathews or Olberman and when compared to Beck both Mathews and Olberman had gains.

Sheeesh it is not that hard to understand.

Beck had a bigger base as well as still has four times the viewers of Matthews, yet his percentage loss is a victory for liberals? :rofl By the way, have you seen May's ratings? Keep making a fool of yourself because apparently you have little pride in yourself.

Once was one too many. But I have watched him a few times. Did so just the other night and couldn't stomach the entire show. I really have no idea why anyone takes him seriously at all.

That is liberal arrogance and it is that arrogance that I don't understand how people can take seriously. he is being watched because he makes more sense than any liberal and the results support what he says. You want so badly to believe what you are being told yet the ideology that you are supporting fails over and over again. That is the definition of insanity.

Boo, people just don't buy your rhetoric any more because the facts simply trump that rhetoric. Facts always get in the way of liberal rhetoric for it is always results trumping rhetoric. You and others appeal to the hearts instead of appealing to the minds. Never trust what a liberal says but always see what a liberal does. Hard to overcome an ideology and cult followings but the truth will always set you free.

Why does it bother you so much that people watch Glenn Beck on TV? you can turn him off or turn the channel or not watch TV at all. Too bad we cannot do that with the current occupant of the WH. Glenn Beck doesn't make policy, Glenn Beck runs nothing in this country, Glenn Beck challenged Bush just like he challenges Obama yet not a word then.

The fact that Glenn Beck is like waving a red cape in front of a raging bull, Liberals, is good enough for me. The fact that he makes people like you more irrational than usual is good enough for me.

Where is it in the liberal playbook that teaches people how to dodge direct questions? you are the one that jumped in here piling on against Glenn Beck. You did so however while making a fool of yourself by ignoring actual results. you can run from the facts which are Glenn Beck has four times the viewers than his closest competitor and the fact is Fox News had record profits during the time when liberals were taking victory laps over Glenn Beck Boycott gaining traction. Doesn't bode well for liberals but then again it never does, they just move on to some other topic. You see, liberals never admit when wrong.

You asked for a lie that beck had on his show. I referred to the anchor baby story. Instead of responding to that you went off on some other tangent totally unrelated. As usual you started bragging about ratings. Supported with links I showed you that Beck lost far more viewers than either Olberman or Mathews and that both actually showed gains when compared to Beck. As usual you went into hyper partisan mode. You are such a tool.
