O la la! Could It Be? Will Fox Fire Glenn Beck?

[Madeline]

The Egypt uprising has raised the stakes for Beck -- and Fox. In the past two weeks, Beck has viewed events in Egypt through his own rather warped filter. He claims that the rebellion is not about the people, not about democracy. Instead, he says, it's a move by radical Islamists to take over Egypt, as part of a larger plan to install a caliphate that stretches from the Middle East through Europe and toward the United States. And he contends that "uber-leftists" and Islamic extremists are "plotting together" toward this end. Last week on his radio show, he declared, "Groups from the hard-core socialist and communist left and extreme Islam will work together because they are both a common enemy of Israel and the Jew. . . . Islam wants a caliphate. Communists want a communist new world order. They'll work together, and they'll destabilize. Because they both want chaos."

As Beck becomes increasingly unhinged and lost in conspiracy-land, he may well become a litmus test for the right -- and a measure of whether the leaders of Fox News care about any claim to respectability. Should Fox throw him out of the coop, Beck will still have a cult-like following that he can service via his syndicated radio show, website, and books -- and still make tens of millions of dollars a year. He won't crawl off to an undisclosed location. But he will no longer have the imprimatur of the right's main media outfit. And what better confirmation that the conspiracy is vast, oh so vast.

What do you think? Will Fox finally dump Glenn Beck and his John Bircher craziness?

You are just jealous cause your HERO got fired.

 

[Madeline]

LOL, the quote above is an excerpt, guys....you may wish to read the entire article. Apparently Beck has taken to bashing prominent conservatives as well as liberals and Murdoch is under pressure to let him go.

RGS, my hero, MLK, has been dead for some time now. I'm thinking I have learned to live with my grief.

Jeez, talk about warped filters. You lefties need to log on to sites other than George Soros.

 

[Mini 14]

In all honesty (and I'm being completely serious):

There is a greater chance of obama being impeached than there is of Beck being fired as of right now.

He makes them too much money, even with his ratings slide.

He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[AquaAthena]

Nah...He's been too accurate for, and with, two years worth of predictions. Many other anchors report on news-breaking events after Glenn, "my man", Beck has already aired them on his show. If they had watched his show, they would have known..lol. I thought Beck was going to go with a religious theme this year, but he is staying with current ( and future? ) events, so I am hanging with him. He always makes a point many times during his how to check it out for yourselves. His books are best-sellers with pages of footnotes for references. He is very informative. If one doesn't watch, they either don't want to know, or don't care to learn, the truth about current events.

 

[Madeline]

The author of the article, David Corn, says he was a Fox correspondent and still has close ties to the organization. I dun say his predictions are correct, but they aren't MY predictions and to say this is a Soros wet dream is not accurate.

BTW, I found this article because the Cleveland Plain Dealer linked it. I suspect it'll get a very wide viewing, if other major newspapers follow suit.

I won't debate the accuracy of Beck's analysis with you, Aqua. I like you too much. But Corn points out that if Fox fires Beck, he will remain in the public eye through his syndicated radio show, appearances, books, etc. He won't disappear no matter what Murdoch does.

I believe the rebellion IS about the people. I also beieve nefarious factions are at work to take advantage of the situation. So...I agree with Beck although I think hes a dickwad otherwise.

yeah, but he started saying baby bush is in on the conspiracy to form a caliphate and that the media didn't report it... that means fauxnews too.

so he's starting to be an embarrassment to them.

you may be right... but i think he's moved on into alex jones territory. so we'll see.

So are Michael Moore's and Al Franken's. Your point?

edit: I don't like either of those two, but just saying-keep some perspective.

I have never heard of politicsdaily.com before, Samson, nor have I ever heard of David Corn. I just followed a link the Plain Dealer had posted.

Trust me though -- many people care, one way or the other, whether Glenn Beck stays on the air.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Beck is entertainment and spoof, nothing serious whatsoever. As long as he brings in money to Fox, he will remain. If he jeopardizes profit in any way at all, he will go. Like any shill, he milks the crowd, then will have to move on as they wise up.

 

[Mini 14]

Beck will still be on Fox in 2012.....

covering the election......

broadcasting the vote.......

as Sara Palin is elected President......

and appoints Glenn Beck to the Supreme Court.



Ok.......only the first 3 lines may be correct, but my point is.....you've got a lot more time to keep on hating him.
