Does Glenn Beck's departure from Faux News have a greater meaning?

He fit right in with the rest of the Fox Noise and lies.

John Cook —Republican media strategist Roger Ailes launched Fox News Channel in 1996, ostensibly as a "fair and balanced" counterpoint to what he regarded as the liberal establishment media. But according to a remarkable document buried deep within the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the intellectual forerunner for Fox News was a nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the "prejudices of network news" and deliver "pro-administration" stories to heartland television viewers.

The memo—called, simply enough, "A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News"— is included in a 318-page cache of documents detailing Ailes' work for both the Nixon and George H.W. Bush administrations that we obtained from the Nixon and Bush presidential libraries. Through his firms REA Productions and Ailes Communications, Inc., Ailes served as paid consultant to both presidents in the 1970s and 1990s, offering detailed and shrewd advice ranging from what ties to wear to how to keep the pressure up on Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the first Gulf War.

i do no longer think of experts are what Beck replaced into relating while he replaced into conversing approximately inner maximum sector enterprise adventure because it pertains to the vast majority of the yank human beings. A physicist, attorneys. no longer precisely positions the place administration skills are the main important objective of the profession. Beck is conversing approximately expertise that comes from arms on adventure in working a company, very distinctive from scientists or attorneys.

Yes - the greater meaning is that Beck, and other incarnations of Beck from others wanting to repeat his formula, will never again appear on cable news. The formula proved to be a liability to Fox.

That format was so toxic that over 400 advertisers refused to advertise on Beck's show.

Beck's TV career is over. His struggling radio program will remain for some time, as will his "internet show".

"Does Glenn Beck's departure from Faux News have a greater meaning?"

Yes, with Glenn out of the picture you'd have to go back to playing with yourself..:-)

If you are dumb enough to listen to that guy so closely that you can quote him-maybe you are a closet Beck fan.

He was given a golden handshake

Ie: last programme went to air live

I think his departure was both timely and amicable.....

job done, so to speak

1 Glen Beck's ratings dropped

2 Glen's show got cancelled just like any other show on TV who's ratings drop

The larger meaning:

In television advertising income is based on the size of the viewing audience.

If Democrats debates during the election will be such as this question, then they're going to lose by a landslide !

the end of the GOP

No. It just means that he is gone.
