Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck facing axe

If the average liberal weenie really cared about America, freedom of speech, etc, then they would agree that this should apply to Glenn Beck...

He does have every right to say whatever he wants. FOX also has every right to not give him a platform for his speech if they are unhappy with his performance. Further, saying that what he says is wrong and I would love it if FOX did not give him that platform is not nearly the same thing as trying to silence his free speech. In fact, it is 100 % different. I would absolutely defend Beck's right to say whatever nonsense he chooses in the same manner any one else can.
 
I hope he chooses the corner opposite Olbermann... that would be interesting.

Nothing would make me happier than for all the shrill ranting partisan windbags to be unemployed.

Exactly how many episodes of the Glenn Beck show would I need to watch in order to know that he's a haphazard and slipshod "scholar" who promulgates sloppily researched information driven by ridiculously paranoid hyperbole?

Mellie asked several of us to watch a couple of his episodes last year. I watched them in their entirety, did some research on his guests, and realized that Glenn Beck wouldn't know a fact if it took a crap on his face.

Beyond that, I've read several transcripts of his shows, posted a point by point analysis of his 9/12 principles on this forum, and paid a lot of attention to his 9/12 rally last year. I consider that sufficient.

If you don't, tough ****.

At the time did you document what Beck said that was false? Looks to me like it is a false statement that he has lost a million viewers or 1/3 of his audience too but that doesn't stop you from spouting the misinformation.

I keep hearing all the lies Beck tells and most of those so called lies are taken out of context. If they were true lies then take them to the SEC. All I see are liberals who hate being challenged for defending their own failures. Back up your statements.
 
c'mon, with beck and the shrub gone, the daily show will lose most of its comedic material
 
So, you're suggesting that the figures showing that his audience has dropped by 1/3 are false?

Yes!! As Neilsen ratings show. Beck still has triple the audience of his closest competitor. When is Chris Matthews going to get cancelled?

This board is searchable. Consider using the search function. I'm not Glenn Beck. I don't get paid to think for you.

Please feel free to post a thread about Chris Matthews if you'd like to discuss his ratings. Personally, I'm not a fan.

Apparently you get paid to post false information and spread messages out of context or downright lies. Prove that Beck lost 1/3 of his audience with verifiable sources like Neilsen

Beck wins his time slot daily and has three times the viewers of his closest competitors, that is a fact that you want to ignore.
 
I am pointing out that he still has twice the viewership, and that I've already proven that he was right about Soro's and the Nazi's...and the Iranian connection to the 12th Imam ;)

So, you're suggesting that the figures showing that his audience has dropped by 1/3 are false?
 
Somehow I doubt the validity of this report.

"Guy who has the highest ratings lost 1 million people...to have the 4th highest ratings".

This is like saying "This sales person I have was making me $10,000 a week and was my top seller out of a few dozen. Now he's only selling $8,000 and is my fourth best seller. Obviously he's done and I need to just fire him".

Beck was putting up ridiculously good ratings numbers with all things considered for a while there. He's not putting up numbers that are simply "good" when it comes to a 24/7 news station show. Hardly a reasonable reason to guess that he's going to get "axed".

If 2/3's of his previous viewer total is still almost double that of the best show on a competing network (not even a directly competing show) then pointing out the "OMG He lost 1/3rd of his viewers!" is rather worthless in regards to using it as a means of suggesting he warrants or is likely to get the axe.

How, exactly, does this thread prove 1/3 loss of viewers for Beck? Perhaps instead of linking to the first page, you could link to the relevant post, so we don't have to sift through 12 or so pages???
 
This is for last Friday....and yes it is the 25-54 Demo.

Liblady, do you ever answer questions or just show up, make and absurd statement and then run? Why compare a 9:00 show to a 5:00 show? Beck has triple the ratings of Matthews and all other competitors but you have to go to 9:00 to justify the thread topic. Last I checked Beck isn't competing with 9:00 shows.

do you ever post without using personal attacks?

It's the change they've been hoping for.:ninja:
 
Are you still angry that Iwas able to back up my statements...as you asked me to?

Now...as for Maddow and Savage, sorry...it's true.


a pic of yourself, since you must be beautiful enough to make fun of other's looks.

I see no personal attack. I see an accurate description of your general posting style and a few legitimate questions.

I wasn't posting a response to the 1/3 loss of viewers, I was posting a response to having done research on Beck's "facts." The stats are provided in the OP.

How do you counter one claim by making a claim about something else entirely. Hint, if Beck had had for example 4 million viewers, Matthews 1 million, then both could be true. In fact, Mathews ratings have jack **** to do with whether Beck's ratings are up or down. What you did is the equivalent of countering some one saying "the grass is green" by countering "no it isn't, the sky is blue".
