Glenn Beck taking his lunatic act elsewhere

[Clever_Iggy]

When you predict the end of the world/America/etc., every single show for years, your act gets a little dry. But, like other posters have already said, another airbag will take his place and nothing will change.

That said, I'd take listening to him over Rush, Nancy Grace, Hannity, or that dude with the bow-tie.

Did you watch that interview?

Not the one I posted here (I know O'Reilly takes pride in interuppting people), did you watch the 15 minute interview? And found it entirely appropriate?

Well, if you can't distinguish someone that pulls his disinformation out of his arse from someone who relies on facts and logic, you are ######ed.

Just sayin'.

All my disinformation comes from solid facts. Did you know lions are awesome at the harp?

One of the interesting things about Beck is that while he garnered tons of ratings it didn't actually translate to financial success for Fox because most advertisers just did not want to be associated with him. Fox had to scrape the barrel to get advertising dollars for the show. So this was, if nothing else, a pure business decision and an example of a capitalist democracy actually getting something right.

Jon Stewart's four-part farewell to Glenn Beck becomes an instant Daily Show classic. Was Glenn Beck send by Jesus? Is Barack Obama really a Mayan citizen? Watch the episode now with a guest appearance by charming British chef Jamie Oliver.

It's entirely in line with how O'Reilly interviews. He had Sarah Palin on the factor a few weeks ago and just grilled her. Then the next day he publicly criticized her for dodging questions.

He isn't Hannity or Beck. He tries to be as fair as he can, but, of course he has a slant. But he isn't crazy or unfair to the liberals and left.

That being said he DOES present things in a certain way to lead people to his point of view, but, does that shock anyone?
