Personally I have been watching FOX a little less recently because it is too liberal for my tastes. Especially Shep Smith. When I heard him side with the Egyptian protesters and say insulting things about Mubarak it was a turning point for me. I realized FOX isn't very different from the other networks. I would prefer a network that slammed the Muslim Brotherhood, did not try to portray the Egyptian protesters as the "good guys", criticized the Hell out of Egyptian people and culture for the sexual assault of Lara Logan, etc.

Glenn Beck is fine with me. We need a whole network of similar minded individuals. They don't all need to have his over the top style. Not that I have a problem with it, but a variety of personality types would mix things up.

MSNBC is definitely failing, their ratings keep dropping. Fox and Oreilly has three times the viewers of MSNBC, same for Hannity. MSNBC needs to ditch the far leftist commentators and get somebody non partisan and equally critical of both parties. people will tune in to see somebody credible skewer both parties when they deserve it. Right now MSNBC is something of a parody of cable news.

Any time I am flipping and come upon MSNBC I find myself embarrassed for them.

The best thing they have done in the past few years, in fact the only positive thing I can think of is firing Krazy Keith Olberman.

I hope all of these idiots dissappear from the public stage where they do nothing but stir the pot over stupidity, lies, misrepresentations and just plain nonsence. I really can't understand Americans at all. I'm telling you that for 100% sure any of these goofballs wouldn't get one minute of airtime in Canada. Canadians just would not listen to such BS except maybe once or twice just out of interest.

I personally will not buy one single product that advertises on Glenn Beck.

The numbers don't lie, my friend. Beck's popularity has fallen substantially over the past year.

And what does MSNBC have to do with Glenn Beck's popularity fading?

They might be the only ones who'd think about hiring him............

Glenn Becks popularity may be "fading" however any other cable network would be ecstatic to have ratings any where near as high as FOX News.

Glenn's ratings are better than ever, and most of his predictions have come true.
But keep blowing smoke if it makes you feel better about the sorry state the corrupt left is left in.
The corrupt in the WH is finished, the unions are about done for, life gets better every day..!
Now that the teapublicans are in charge you will see real hope and change, starting with tossing out everything Obama has done so far. The best way to start a recovery is by dumping O's HC plan. Two more years and he will be just an unpleasant memory and the country can start over doing things the correct way.
He is trying hard to destroy this nation, but too many smart people see through him and are going to stop him at every step, until we completely unload him..

Why would you claim that Beck's ratings are better than ever when the facts refute your claim? Do you just make assertions based on your beliefs or hopes? You have been proven wrong on this minor point. Just imagine what else you believe that may not be true.
