Should FOX send Glenn Beck packing?

Nineteen more of Beck's advertisers have stopped supporting his show. That number includes two British companies who just announced that they've pulled their ads from the UK broadcast of Beck's show after hearing from customers.

Two companies--Waitrose (the British supermarket chain) and Metropolitan Talent Management--pulled their ads not only from Beck's show, but from Fox News in general.

Is Beck a newsman or a clown?

    Plus there is that entire scandal where he supposedly raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Not that he did or anything, but I did see some sites on google that referred to it.. and he has yet to meet the allegations. There is no evidence to show he did not do it.

    Man, he really gets up your nose, doesn't he? Good.

    And even if Fox was dumb enough to dump Beck, it wouldn't do you any good anyhow. Beck could just get himself a blog and keep on doing his thing, which is to dig up the truth and talk about it in public. I'm sure the Tories felt the same way about Thomas Paine.

    Why? Because he opposes the Obama administration and doesn't fall in line like the liberals want? Once a conservative talk show hosts gains a certain amount of listeners/viewers the liberal machine takes action and tries to blacklist them. Same type of thing happened to Michael Savage becasue he was gaining international fame. I think of it as a backlash to the communists being blacklisted in the 40s and 50s, since modern liberals are their succesors.

    Beck never claimed to be a newsman. He gives an opinion. News is not opinion. He has a right to say whatever he feels like saying, just like any other American.

    But he also has the right to suffer the consequences of what he says.

    He's a clown. But in the end, he's doing Democrats some good. Hard as he is to watch, I hope he stays there.

    Hmm... ratings thru the roof, advertisers standing in line... hardly. Beck scares the sh!t out of libs.... COOL!

    Beck simply makes a point and asks questions... in what world is that prohibited? Oh, I forgot... in 0bamaland... Big Brother is smiling.

    I love the smell of liberal fear... it smells like... VICTORY!!
