Go Beck!

I’ve tried watching MSNBC but it’s unwatchable. They have their heads so far up the rear of the Democrat/bigger goverment/nanny state ideology.

Good old Glenn Beck here, guess he changed his views when he went to Fox News..lol

Republicans need to get back to debating issues instead of using the scare tactics. More people are aware of the scare games and the Bush Administration over played their hand with this in the last 8 years. It’s not working, well maybe the right wing base is getting motivated but that’s it. Until you guys start explaining your positions better and stop playing the scare bullcrap, it’s not going to change.

You know what? I’d like to just FIRE everyone in Washington and start all over with a brand new election.

Let’s get rid of the whole lot of corrupt people and start working for the american people instead of lobbyists.

Oh, and lobbyists should be arrested on sight!!! I could care less how much money they have. It’s killing everything good about what the United States of America is all about.

Thanks to Fox News who gave Beck a show that allows him to present truth and gives us the news that others are too afraid to reveal. Lots of my friends and family are now watching Beck. The Factor has turned into a tabloid variety hodgepodge of little value. Could Beck be moved into that time slot so more could see his show? The main stream media give us nothing worth watching or reading. We the people need to stay informed. Fox keep it up.

@Bobby Whitman: It continues to amaze me how people who have a history of enslavement fail to recognize it in its modern form. Your recognition of this fact is encouraging. How many do not see that entitlement programs represent only another means of gaining power over people. Those who vote for a populist leader do a great disservice to themselves. Lots of black Americans were getting a “free ride” 150 years ago. I think one of the worst things I would ever want to hear was “Yeah, but they treated us real good.” Nowadays you don’t have to pick cotton all day to get your entitlement and “get treated real good”. All it takes is a vote. But what else is being given up? Look at the ladies who used to work for ACORN. What did they give up?

Look at who in the media is actually fighting against this form of slavery as we speak. And look at who leads in the ratings.

I am Black, 48, a man whose gut gets twisted up in knots every time Obama speaks. I am a part of the proud(6%)of Black Americans who did NOT vote for this man. Imnot in love with the republican party, BUT I DESPISE THE DEMOCRATS!… There is a whole agenda of people willing to ruin this great country just so “the first African-American president(LOOKS)successful.” I hate that! When he held—(another)— rally this past Saturday at the same time honest American citizens were protesting in Washington, I know he did it just so CNN and MSNBC would train their liberal cameras on him— and ignore the people— AND IT MADE ME SICK! Obama is the worst thing for America because there are now so many people out there who think dissent is wrong, and everyone against the man is racist… Well, i’m Black… and I love my country( and my FREEDOM ) a lot more than I care for him and his ilk! I even went to the library to reread 1984 again… the smooth, glib, too-cool-for-real-news president MUST be stopped!

Thank you FNC for keeping our public officials accountable, right and left.

Freedom of speech also means allowing others to speak freely. There are those here on both sides of the issue who would like to suppress all who disagree with their viewpoint. I for one do not take glee in the fact that ANY group was “run off” from this weekend’s events.

Has the New York Times said the word ACORN yet? Did you see the people at the rally in D.C. run the ACORN nutjobs out of the area of the rally? Even the police helped run them off. It was GREAT!!! DRIP DRIP DRIP The worm keeps turning. Isn’t free speech great? We don’t have to run info thru the leftist prism anymore. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask Serena Williams LOL!!!

You know, I was a broadcast major in school, and hope to be again once I finish with the military. I find it discusting the levels people like Olberman will sink to to try to get ratings from one side of the aisle. I watch all three major news networks, read, as often as I can, the Wall St Journal and the New York Times. I try to be as varried as possible in my viewing. I see much more evidence of a bias from MSNBC and CNN than Fox. Yes, FOX can be bias from time to time, but at least they try to back it up with facts. Olberman just calles everyone who disagrees a liar and a racist. He’s constantly incisted that Beck spreads the false reports of the FEMA camps, though Beck used an entire segment of his Fox News show to DISPROVE them with an editor of Popular Mechanics.
Granted, I feel that Beck calling Obama a racist was out of bounds, but multiple people (including Don Lemon, CNN; Rachel Maddow, MSNBC; and multiple celebrities given soundbites and mmicrophones to spread propoganda ) have called Tea Party folks racists, and there’s no outrage, except at Fox. When did it become more respectable to attack a group of people versus a polotician?

I am perplexed after reading all the comments at the indifference from the dems/libs on what this is all about. America as we know it is being transformed into a fascist/Marxist government where the “Ruling Elite” will have the saying in all aspects of everyone’s life. I know some of you might say is far fetched to think that way, but just for you own sake find out the truth by yourselves. This is not a war between news channels, after all they all benefit from the viewers, that’s whay they are in the business for. What the libs fail to understand is that they too will be part of the laymen. If you love tyranny so much, why don’t you try moving to Cuba or China and tell us how wonderful is to live in a totalitarian regime where everything is rationed? This is something that America does not know and Hell will freeze over before we let this land of the FREE go down in flames because of the lunatic beliefs of the far left. Let FREEDOM ring FOREVER!

As for the 18-34 demo and MSNBC – there are only a handful of people that age who even watch cable news! Not relevant, even for advertisers unless they get a bargain-basement rate.

The whole sponsors leaving Glenn Beck is a complete contradiction. They left Glenn Beck because he said something about Obama being a racist. Yet Companies didn’t start pulling their adds till a racist group started creating a fuss. Isn’t that ironic?

I also find it funny that one of the group’s founders can do all kinds of damage to his race and political partners, yet the group seems to think thats ok or even the way things are or should be?

You tell me who is the racist side in the “Color of Change vs. Glenn Beck” battle.

Will, MSNBC beating CNN is like one Parks and Rec softball team beating another. In the meantime the major leagues (Fox) could care less.

Advertisers, old and new are already coming back to Glenn. Too many people watching to not make best use of their advertising dollars. Glenn ain’t going away.

Moving Beck to prime time may be like the old sayings about “to much of a good thing”. I wonder how much Beck at 5pm helps Bret Baier and Shepphard Smith at 6pm and 7pm. Both of those shows seem to have pretty consistent ratings, so maybe it wouldn’t hurt them too much. But then what would Fox do at 5pm, and then where does Beck go? I wouldn’t move O’Reilly. Hannity and Van Sustren both do well and destroy the competition in ratings. It would be interesting to see what Beck could do at 9pm. If I had to choose I would move Hannity. I can do without him and his show. I tend to watch more of Greta than Hannity and think she has a better show.

I’m waiting to see how many houses that ACORN gave out are used by drug dealers. Does anyone know the code for drug dealer? LOL! I think maybe we know how drug dealers get houses in some neighborhoods. I thought the Leftist Democrats cared about black people? Maybe the Leftist Democrats need certain people to be poor and live in very dangerous neighborhoods. Who is behind all these gangs in these areas of the country. For some odd reason the gangs are in Democrat controlled neighborhoods??? LET THE DIGGING BEGIN!!! Stay tuned. Many more tapes to come. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same. Ask the drug dealers in D.C.. HEE HEE!

One more thing, FNC is doing very well as far as viewers go, but if Beck can’t get any advertisers back (he’s lost 67 so far) they’re going to be in real trouble. Simply put, you can have 3,000,000+ viewers, but if you can’t sell ads to them, your not making money.

I love these FOX CIRCLE JERKS.

Yes, standing alone they are great numbers.

But this is the ONLY source for CONSERVATIVE
views on tv.

Everything else is either “Biased” by your admission
or a balanced source say like PBS.

Funny if you added up all of PBS, NBC, CBS, ABC
and the so-called liberal sources at newstime,
fox would be a mere SLIVER of the pie.

I immensely enjoyed BSMBC’s (non) coverage of the march on D.C. which drew a huge crowd, so much that I watched a lot of it on Good ‘ol reliable Fox News. Had it been the Sarandon,Robbins,Garafalo, Moore and Sheen, etc. crowd, along with the usual loonie subversive rent-a-mob, the BS channel probably wouldn’t have taken a commercial break.

Every time I visist the US I am shocked about what you call tv news reporting.

Obviously I cannot judge Glen Beck on the issues and topics he is reporting, but the way he is delivering news and opinions is truely frightening. Is Glen Beck the real world equivelent of Howard Beale(Network 1976)?

News should be there to provide you with information, on wich you should built your own opinion. These days is seems like your opinion is made for you, the thinking process stops as soon as you chose wich tv news you are going to watch.

And one thing I will never understand about all this is.
If public healthcare, or “medicare for all”, is the beginning of the united states of kommunism.
What do you think would be if the goverment started paying for public roads, public transport, the military, national parks, the police, fire departments, public schools…

Reading what Len wrote makes me understand more fully just why I continue to watch FOX – MSNBC has Chris Matthews who still continues to get those tingly feelings down his legs when he mentions Obama’s name; Rachel Maddow continues to TRY to be a stand up comic with her little snide quips (no real substance); I have to admit that Keith Olbermann is kind of entertaining with his rabid-like expression when he gets mad (he tries to look macho, but he just ends up looking funny); At least on FOX we get FACTS and not excuses – An example of this is how the left explained the guilty ACORN workers as the “alleged” (I guess you would have to actually be IN the room to be convinced they were GUILTY!!!) Thank God we still (for a little while, yet) live in a country where we can decide who we want to listen to and make up our OWN minds as to who we want to believe. I will still continue to choose my own friends (and you are not one, Len), my own news channels, my own food, my own car, my own health care, my own community services and charities, my own light bulbs, and my own religion. I can also choose to either respect or not respect the president – I choose NOT!!!!

Reggie, so far as I know you can’t get daily info for the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) nightly newscast (they are NOT in primetime). You can, however, get weekly averages. We stopped reporting those, but the numbers for the week of August 31-September 6 were:

Total Viewers: NBC: 7,620,000 / ABC: 7,150,000 / CBS: 5,440,000

A25-54 viewers: NBC: 2,150,000 / ABC: 1,970,000 / CBS: 1,470,000
