Now that he won't have his nightly TV show on Fox News, is this it for Glenn Beck?

I hope he doesn't reappear on TV. He's too much of a clown. Maybe he was over-exposed to The Goofball O'Reilly.
 
Not a chance he's done yet. To think otherwise is ridiculous.
 
yeah. he may have peaked; but he's not out.
 
Is any one saying his career is over?
 
Career as what?

Thank you for restating my question. That's the point of the poll, Redress. To, ya know, find that out.

As in.......a voice for conservatives that's still heard by millions of people. Or....will he fade off into a corner after his show is off the air?

I would imagine that depends on several factors: what Beck wants to do, how he tries to further his career... if he wants to, and how people respond to him if he makes the attempt. Beck is a popular figure amongst some conservatives and he is a showman who knows how to grab an audience... both to like him and to hate him. I'd imagine that if he chooses to continue his career, he will. In what capacity, I don't know.

So what's your prediction?

If he chooses to continue his career, it will continue. He's too much of a showman to not get attended to.

So are you predicting that he WILL choose to continue his career or not?

Don't know. I don't follow Beck at all. Best guess? I think he likes the limelight, so yes, he will continue his career.

Well, if that's the case, I'd say Reagan's future career looks better than Beck's

I wonder if he'll still organize big rallies...

I kind of wonder if this decision has anything to do with Beck's far right lean, and the fact that Romney is the strongest GOP candidate right now... Fox News probably wouldn't want their radical commentators ruining a moderates chance of winning the white house for the GOP.

Interesting observation. Time will tell if you are correct. If so, that would be pretty shrewd on Fox's part.

No. His popularity has peaked, and he will be much less visible (literally and figuratively), but he's still got his radio show and The Blaze.

Yeah, kind of like it's down hill for him here. He might still make some headlines with his radio show.. that's when he says something incredibility stupid or insane. I think eventually his star will fade though... I really don't think he is that important of a figure in politics as a voice or a leader. He is just good for entertainment and radicals.

I'm going to say yes, since he's already announced that you might want to keep July 4th of this year open for a vacation.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox tried to silence people to get a person elected... They execs have admitted to giving the journalists and commentators talking points that themselves didn't believe in or think was accurate, so I wouldn't be surprised if they also try to silence their commentators as part of their political strategy.

Becks message has been heard. There's no point repeating it over and over.
