Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck facing axe

I know...Ever since reruns hit the Cartoon Network she is outshining everyone....Captin America, the Smurfs, Barney......Hell at this rate she'll lock up the 5 to 7 demo.


j-mac

Hey, I was just stating a fact... She has gained on Beck.

Of course another fact is, Beck still has twice as many viewers as Maddow according to last months ratings. :)
 
um....i think he lost a million viewers of late.....

yes. but see, if his competition at (say) MSNCB lost that many viewers, then they would actually be in negative viewership. For Glenn Beck it means maybe a million off the next contract.
 
You are glad that a show that you don't watch and know nothing about(other than what media matters tells you, or similar site tells you) might be getting the ax? You must have a pathetic life. I know lets get excited over a PBS show we don't watch or know nothing about getting canceled.

Actually, I'm excited about what it means for America. I consider Glenn Beck's followers to be particularly mindless, and the idea that there are a million less of them this year than there was last year is good news--for America.
 
interesting. care to share?

I bet he got it from mediamatters.com or some other wehateconservativetalkshowhosts.com or wehatepercievedconservativetalkshowhosts.com website.

Is that what media matters tells you?

interesting again. When I was in the states I listened to his radio show and watched him on TV (not every day, but when it was on and I was there I did). I have three of his books, and I think while he's prone to the fundamental assumption error, that he raises excellent points and has been critically ahead of the curve on a number of issues. Food Inflation, for example.

Honestly I am happy about it, but for a different reason. Our cable media news stations for too long have had the faces of these political pundits as the heads of their individual outlets. I hope, that if Fox doesn't renew Beck's contract or makes it shorter, that is an attempt by Fox to move away from pundits being the heads to maybe the actual news reporters being the head of the network. You know people like Chris Wallace, who I have great respect for and thinks he gives the best interviews of anyone at Fox. Maybe the go out and hire a few more Wallaces or Tim Russerts and then other stations like MSNBC would follow suit. Or if the networks wanted to keep their pundits on board, shift their times so that they will play less of an important role.
 
Too funny, then you know everything he said about the 12th Imam and the Iranian connection is true....

You know that Soro's indeed did help send Jews to the Camps...

really? can you back that up?
 
really? can you back that up?

Twelver Shiism? yes, it's a branch of Shiite faith; specifically the one preached by the mullahs, it is a messianic version of Islam centered largely around the emergence of a spiritual/secular leader who will lead the last Jihad to bend the whole world to Islam.

I consider the average Glenn Beck flogger to be particularly mindless. Are you an average Glenn Beck flogger?

I consider the average female(alleged) moderate to be a mindless zombie, incapable of free thought, but with enough arrogance to make Charlie Sheen look humble.

Are you an average moderate female?
 
Uh...sorry...no.

Maddow is a pimple.

i have a feeling that you might be the kind of person who posts and can't prove their posts.

I agree. I think the American IQ has gone up in the last year. Beck is nothing but a propaganda artist who could link Obama to cancer on his nifty chalkboard and get his followers to drool over that incredible revelation.

Catz is well above average.

:shrug: no idea. I would say that Glenn Beck followers are more prone to membership in the Tea Party. and we know that members of the Tea Party tend to be more educated than the general populace. and I am more educated than the general populace. So maybe?
 
Question: Who is the 12th imam?
Answer: First of all, bear in mind that Iran is a fervently Shiite Islamic Republic, with a 98 percent Muslim population and 89 percent of those Muslims identifying as Shiite, according to the CIA World Factbook. Twelver Shiism is the largest branch of Shiite Islam, with about 85 percent of Shiite adhering to the belief in the 12th imam. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, father of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, was a Twelver. So is the current supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.




What is the 12th Imam - How the Mahdi Plays Into Relations With Iran Today

I was paying atention to this 10 years before Beck even brought it up :)
 
fox news has lost sponsors due to beck's moronic insanity. rachel maddow is steadily gaining on beck..........and no, beck isn't way ahead in the important demographic. in fact, hannity and o'reilly outdraw him.
