Fox News' Glenn Beck show to end later this year

[MikeStanart]

He could be the bathroom attendant.

I wouldn't let Lindsay Graham anywhere near me when I'm at my most vulnerable in the restroom.

 

[Mach]

Is he taking a job with the Israeli public relations/AIPAC??? LOL

LMFAO..... I wish I would have come up with that one..... oh.... wait............ :o

 

[jazzloversinc]

I don't understand. The Judge is paid by the same folks that pay Beck. How can you think one is a tool and the other isnt' that makes no sense. I don't hear the judge bashing Israel or anything like that...Beck is always cheerleadingt for Israel. One thing I do know, this developed after Beck said "reform jewish rabbis are just like jihadhists"...now he's out. I read he is planning his own cable channel...maybe to compete with Fox?

 

[jazzloversinc]

Oh Beck said he wanted the Judge to take his spot..I'm going to miss Beck to be truthful..all the chalkboards..he was really good at connecting dots. He talked a LOT about the NWO and the banks, I really don't believe many of you ever tuned in.

This could be good. The Judge gets on Fox News, Beck might be freed to speak his mind more, perhaps we'll see if he act more libertarian then...

When can we expect his announcement to run for office.

Beck/Palin
So stupid it might even work.

The problem is there were incidents where he would undo all his great accomplishments by ignoring or bashing liberty candidates or sometimes would be wishy washy. I think people were right to call him out when he would do that but then it should stop. The reason being is he is the ONLY host on the main news channels that educates the masses on issues close to and matching that of the liberty - Ron Paul movement. People say that we have Stossel and the Judge but the fact is they are on FOX Business which has limited reach. It could not be compared to Beck having he 3rd highest rated show in cable news.

With Beck gone the sheeple will be re-educated back to supporting big government Neocons and Progressives. Unless Judge, Stossel and Beck are on I cannot even watch any of news channels. The big government interventionist propaganda is infuriating.

No, he's a behind-the-scenes guy. He's not a politician.

 

[ravedown]

prediction:
Lou Dobbs gets the spot...or maybe (not joking) Larry King. he still wants to work and brings in viewers.

but im crossing my fingers fox does the right thing and creates "Stossel & the Judge"

I don't think this was posted: POLL: Who Should Replace Glenn Beck at 5 PM?

The Judge has 56% right now

 

[BlackTerrel]

Fox News can't have his content rolling over into the heads of viewers during the 2012 campaign. Ill be the first to admit being wrong if the Judge and Freedom Watch is given his time slot but Im pretty damn sure it won't happen.

Really? Is it just me or did everyone here hate him until his show was slated to end?

Now he was "speaking the truth and Fox can't allow that"?

You want a pretty rational explanation for why his show ended? Mother fucking money. Beck wanted a boatload of it - Fox didn't want to pay him as much as he thought he was worth.

Why didn't they?

1. Beck's ratings dropped by a third

2. He wasn't worth nearly what his ratings usually would because so many sponsors wouldn't advertise on his show

3. This started spilling into other shows when Beck would appear on O'Reilly etc... it made more advertisers uncomfortable and pull out.

4. Beck's show in England ran COMMERCIAL FREE because they couldn't get any advertisers. Here's a clue, companies don't like running guys that don't make them money.

I know these reasons aren't as exciting as "Beck was just about to endorse Ron Paul for 2012 and Rupert Murdoch had to act immediately".

You are being far too rational. I suspect you will be virulently attacked any moment now.

 

[TNforPaul45]

Beck mixed in some truth with his Way-Off Kilter skew on things, and made sure to formulate all of it within the context of the false left-right paradigm, and the false israel-is-holy paradigm as well.

I will not like losing his instances of bringing actual historical context to some things, but I will enjoy his absence on television overall greatly. Now if he would just end his sophomoric morning radio show (where they all act like they are 5 years old and snicker at Ron Paul and Alex Jones all day) and go back to radio dj'ing 80's hits, I would be at peace

This was great! It meant I didn't have to see any stupid Sainsbury's, Waitrose etc. adverts. Adverts are the most annoying thing in the world. I suppose that's one advantage of the BBC, though I still don't like that they force me to fund them...

 

[Flash]

I think Glenn Beck couldn't take it anymore. The Liberal media was attacking him 24/7 for being a mere Conservative.

I still hate him. His show did uncover a lot of truth and I never contested that. What I had a problem with is Beck's history of ragging on us relentlessly and that I KNEW that when the chips were down he would quickly endorse the next MSM anointed candidate. His job was to draw in Tea Party and Paul types then bait and switch them later (which still remains to be seen).

Now that his show is going to end, it makes perfect sense that Fox News needs to turn back to the typical neo-con positions leading up the campaign and election.

You don't think it's the least bit suspicious that he was brought on IMMEDIATELY after Obama won and is now going away right before the campaign winds up? The timing alone is suspect.

This seems like a rather foolish strategy. By this logic the best thing for Judge Napolitano to do if he got the Beck time slot would be to pretend to be a neocon for a year and then at some point come out "aha fooled you and go back to his usual views". Do you really think that would be effective?

I think the timing coincides with the end of his contract. Given the dearth of advertisers in the US and the fact that in England his show ran commercial free it's not exactly a shocking development.

 

[devil21]

We'll see what the Judge does. We'll see if the Judge even has a job later this year. We'll see if he's still stuck on the little-watched FBN. We'll see a lot of things. What I want to see is who Beck endorses for 2012. That alone will determine whether I'm right about him or not.

 

[COpatriot]

Good riddance. Glenn "I love Israel" Beck is a joke and is NOT a libertarian. He is a neocon. You watch. He'll throw Ron Paul directly under the bus and endorse another Palin, Bachmann, or Huckabee.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Probably quite a bit of truth there, although it's never wise to dismiss the internal political/personality wrangling as well.

IIRC someone's wife hated him, Ailes maybe, and that went a long way to showing him the door.

But if controversy is what made advertisers run for cover, then the Judge won't last long either.

Or he'll have to shut up and change his tune, pretty much proving us "conspiracists" point.
