Why Fox News Let Glenn Beck Go ?

[Ernst]

I am not a viewer of Glenn Beck but I see fox is offering Mr Beck the Highway.

Why Fox News let Glenn Beck go

This was neither a commercial nor a political call. Fox wants to keep its brand mainstream and Beck is popular but 'out there'

  While a possible government shutdown, a proposed budget, and Libya still in the news, word that Glenn Beck would be leaving his popular daily Fox News show still managed to prove a huge story this week.
  It also raised speculation about why Beck and Fox News would part ways. After all, his show enjoys very good ratings, and it hasn't been on all that long. (It first aired the day before Obama's inauguration. Just as Bill Clinton outlasted House speaker Newt Gingrich, it is interesting that Obama will also outlast his nemesis Glenn Beck.)
  So why would Fox News make this decision?

His show used to be a little entertaining now it sucks. If I wanted a lecture I&#8217;d go to class. not watch a tv program.

I think the Trump is showing up in the polls already. he leads tea party like minded folks with 20% favoring him.... he has 17%, just behind Mitt nationally.... The Hair may be a contender.

I will vote Trump if Paul, Ventura, Deakin, Broun, and Duke are out

 

[jrems]

Kucinich or Sanders.....

 

[incognegro999]

It would be awesome if trump could beat him just too see if he would walk up to obama and say "your fired". Maybe the next apprentice will be competing for VP slot?? haha

 

[NoDrama]

GB lost his show and before I was ever able to even see one. Oh well.

 

[beardo]

Kucinich or Sanders.....

I would vote for Kucinich unless he was running against Paul or Ventura

 

[Carne Seca]

He went after The Donald and then The Donald crushed him. Don't mess with The Donald.

 

[Windsblow]

I would vote for Kucinich unless he was running against Paul or Ventura

Kucinich is the Polar opposite of Ron Paul and Ventura is unstable. Kucinich is a Socialist and Paul is a Capitalist.
