Title: Glenn Beck will earn $18 million next year.
Post by: joiei on April 29, 2009, 09:44:33 PM
Is he being paid by the tear that rolls down his cheeks?  http://www.businessinsider.com/the-empire-of-glenn-beck-slideshow-2009-4 (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-empire-of-glenn-beck-slideshow-2009-4)

That is, if he doesn't wind up in a ditch this year with an empty jug of whiskey in one hand and a meth pipe in the other.

That boy's got issues.

I sure as hell don't envy him. He's got some demons that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Its all an act. He's a professional political entertainer.

I heard him for a couple of minutes the other day on the radio talking about "the day he decided enough was enough and he was quitting radio."

He was completely B.S.ing. He's hit the jackpot and he knows it. A radio show, ghostwritten books, a Faux News show--he's a recognized mega-preacher to the church of the far right. And that can be a windfall place to be, regardless of who you really are.

Yep, Beck is the only one out of the whole lot of political talking heads who is an entertainer.  Not Olbermann, not Matthews, not Hannity, not Limbaugh, not Garafalo, not O'Reilly....

You forgot Savage. But even hard-core conservatives I know think he's a loon.

Now, is that just his schtick, or does he actually believe what he is saying?

Beck and all those others are just a bunch of overpaid blowhards, and the people who listen to them, especially Savage, are mindless cheerleaders and sheep.

So you agree then that Fox News is not really news but a bunch of silly talking heads trying to sound relevant about non-news items that they use to drive up their numbers so they can be paid a lot more than any real thinking person like yourself?  Surely you are worth a lot more than Bill or Sean or the Beckers.

"NEW YORK – Fox News Channel on Wednesday said it was dropping Glenn Beck's afternoon talk show, which has sunk in the ratings and suffered financially due to an advertiser boycott."

Maybe he and Olbermann can co-host a spittle and tear laced point/counter-point show.

Or Aykroid and Curtain.

Good one, dbacks.

Olberman's counter point!!!!!!!! http://foknewschannel.com/lonesome-rhodes-mike-left-open/
"Beck's relationship with Fox as symbiotic and strained, but it was probably of greater value to Beck than it was to Fox"

Read the television suicide note! ;D
