Some people don't care for Glen Beck..why is it that you seem to always take that so personal?
I take it that way because of what those people think and why. Left leaning is ok but when you fall over leaning too far then I think you are wrong and some here never get on a Glenn Beck thread without screaming their heads off about him and what he said and they never watch his tv show but always manage to get their info from MM and pass it around.
How do you know that you don't care for him unless you have seen him in the past 6 months? Most of those I howl at have not seen him one time in that amount of time but they are so sure that they know just what he said on any given day. Once again, how many times have you seen him in the past 6 months.

I could say the same thing about leaning too far right...
I pay no attention to Glen Beck...have no interest in watching his show.
I don't understand those that seem to worship him...and I don't understand those who "scream their heads off about him", either.
Does it look like Beck has something to worry about compared to his competition in the same timeslot?
Beck's total audience at 5PM compared to the primetime audience (remember on the West Coast 8PM ET is 5PM so all of the primetime folks should have a bigger audience because people on both coasts are home from work) of others:
Do the TV cable news numbers look like Beck has anything to worry about? If anything, Fox should be worried that the other networks might offer him a primetime job when his contract is up seeing as how his 5PM audience is double their highest guy, Rachel Maddow, in primetime.
Radio
Now let's go to radio where Media Matters, who in reporting a handful of stations dropped Beck (the third largest radio talk show in the country), neglected to mention the 88 ones that picked up his show.
Six NY Times Best Sellers (know any cable TV news person or radio personality other than Bill O'Reilly that can top that?)
Movie?
And, get this, Beck's The Christmas Sweater (the book about him):
"After budget and script issues, producer Stephen Scheffer tells The Hollywood Reporter he’s now in talks with several studios to bring the controversial Fox host’s 2008 book to the big screen."
Who was doing it first, Beck or MM? I guess you don't know which one has been around the longest, do you? Of course, you can get the REAL stuff from MM and Huff and Puff.
So your position is that MM did it first so it is acceptable for Glenn Beck and the Blaze to misrepresent distort?
Frankly I never take any short snippet, from anyone, as representing the context of a statement. Therefore I will hunt down and watch the complete videos or read the complete statements. Which is why I know Glenn Beck and the Blaze engage in "creative" editing.
Glenn Beck's Jihad against progressives has resulted in me listening to all kinds of wonderful speeches that I normally wouldn't have been aware of.
While I find it silly for either side to care one way or another how many stations carry the show, Radio Business Report (http://www.rbr.com/radio/index.1.html (broken link)) said the following after the dropping of beck from the Buckley Radio owned stations:
"Remember, he’s still almost 400 affiliates strong, but some question if his “gloom and doom” rhetoric could be causing a bit of fatigue and avoidance with his audience. Beck is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks and RBR-TVBR will watch closely to see if the move by Buckley Radio is a start of a trend."
