Really, the correct answer is to ignore all of these cable news pundits. All of them, from Maddow to O'Reilly to Blitzer to Beck are clowns whose only function is to tell people what they want to hear in ways they want to repeat to others. The relationship these pundits have with the truth is often spotty at best, and they do a disservice by poisoning the political dialogue. They all make it much harder for people to disagree without being disagreeable.

They make it so that you assume bad faith of the other side. It's not that Bush wants to make America safer, it's that he wants to give Haliburton billions in oil profits. It's not that Obama wants to increase access to health care for people, it's that he wants to drag this country into a socialistic nightmare apocalypse.

Beck is very good at entertaining his viewers and listeners, but it comes at the expense of civility, respect and practical solutions. And I would say the same of pretty much any other cable news pundit out there.

Sure we do, most cable and satellite companies broadcast the Fox News Channel in Canada, it is included
in the news and information package which in my case is a subscription only package, includes MSNBC, FNC,
BBC and I believe three others..

I can't wait to see that! Maybe "A Glenn Beck Christmas" where he ousts jolly ol' St. Nick for what he really is, a communist/marxist socialist. Yes, dear old santa that flies around the world giving handouts, has radicals lined up for hours at his rallies in shopping malls just to sit in his lap to beg for those handouts,..And have you noticed his bright red suit? That's the color of *gasp!* communism!! .
"Oh yes america, he's climbing in your chimney, snatching your family up, better hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband, because santa is spreading socialism all up in here!"

Isn't the reason he got cancelled due to lost advertising revenue? This seems to be the most logical reason to me.

His show wasn't cancelled. He is going on to bigger and better things, and obama is in for far more trouble that Glenn has already caused him by exposing his corruption.. The GB show was so hugely successful, FOX wants GB to zero in on o and his commie friends, and destroy him, which he will do..
Love obama while you can, he won't be around much longer...
