I think ratings,sponsors and boring program content was his ultimate demise on Fox network.
However i'm sure he'll get a spot on Satellite radio or some obscure radio network,Maybe he could get a job on Rush's network
There is not doubt that he is on-the-edge. He is practical.

I will dare say the he predicted the recent spread of instability across the Middle East. No one will admit it , but he called it.

I could go on.
Please do. I love seeing when Progessives go after their constituent groups that stray off of the Progressive plantation.

And that's just the people who say they can't stand him

They're gonna help make him even richer than he is.

What is it with conservatives and their failure to get "nuance"?

When Progressives hate, they do it with tolerance, inclusiveness and with an open mind.

GET IT?

He's going to run as Tea Party candidate for president.

The hero of America's paranoid, anti-intellectuals just may be moving to something bigger than Fox News.

Looks to me like Glen Beck isn't ending anything. Fox is booting him because they finally figured out he was way too nutzoid, even for them.

Beck is going down with the tea party ship. People have realized their off the wall radical right wing positions and made up conspiracies are just bull. It's a smart move by fox I must say, he's the biggest nutcase at that network.

Except none of that is true. Third highest rated cable show with approx 2 million viewers a night.

Funny, Fox is "booting" him, but then turning right around and going into business with him.

I know a cable station that would KILL for 2 million viewers a night in the same timeslot.
