I agree he had SOME good points (at fox). But I don't know rather it was Fox or just how he really was, he just started to get a little to extreme for me.

Why would you spend two hours a day watching some one you aren't really a fan of...and tell everyone your life has really begun because he did so?

Then, because you haven't spent enough time, read his news blog online?

The only time I said "My life really began..." when talking about some one, it was in my wedding vows. Not about some TV host.

Roy, there's also a slap to the face to liberals because, apparantly, GBTV has more subscribers than Oprah has viewers

I guess maybe Fox was controlling what he said a bit too much but his half hour about the history of Israel today was worth the price of watching him a month. I really wonder how many here know what he told today as the history of Israel from WW I to today. I will bet very few. I thought I knew a lot about it but found that maybe didn't know so much.

I won't bother you liberals too much with what he says since I am not sure that they know at Daily Kos and Media Matters that he is back again. I may have to get a bigger computer since mine is only about 17 inches wide, but on full screen that isn't bad.

I am really happy these days because of his return. Just unhappy that I forgot Monday.
Know how he got that money? Selling lies and scaring impressionable people like you...

Roy, if you talk to Glen, please tell him to build a film studio and start making some decent, clean, worthwhile movies and tv programs. I'm done with ******* Hollywood. Thank God for Doris Day movies and Andy Griffith on DVDs.

He might even get some lefties to watch if they get it done before they read too much on Media Matters when they finally realize that he is back on.
I don't have much respect for Beck because the gold company that Beck hawks is little more than a scam. The markups the company charges for gold is outrageously high.

I used to listen to his show when he was in Philly. I just never liked him. I get where he's coming from and his style and he sort of has a flair for getting in your face and saying what others won't say in a unique way. But he comes across as somewhat of a clown.
He's not the untalented mean spirited boor Ed Schultz is or the head case misanthrope that Keith Olbermann was, Beck puts effort into what he does. Rachel Maddow thinks her viewers are morons and constantly talks down to them, not knowing that she herself comes across as very sophomoric with her lack of professionalism and lack of insight. Chris Matthews views his job as a joke and makes no effort to hide his lack of integrity. So don't say I'm anti Fox. Actually Fox is good that while they do have a bias they still make an effort to give their viewers the best political commentary and discussion you can find.
So I hope he finds success with more freedom to do what he wants. At least MSNBC will be able to base entire days of news and commentary on what he says.
