Beck Wails While Ratings Plummet
Glenn Beck FAILS
You would cry too if it happened to YOU...
On to the facts:
According to TVByTheNumbers, Beck’s show lost 25% of his total viewership in May and 23% in the demographic. This is despite his claims that he actually increased viewership in May.
The dispute about Beck’s ratings came up after it was reported (correctly) HERE that Beck had lost 1 million viewers in the last 9 months. So, whatever he had left just dropped by another 25%.
Who can say for sure why Glenn is flopping like a crappie? Is it his constant stream of lies? His growing insistence that there is a government conspiracy out to “get” him? His channeling of Cleon Skousen, infamous Mormon crackpot who never met a conspiracy theory that he didn’t invent and saw a commie behind every bush? Is it his cracked “history” lesson on “Founders Friday” which is more like Fractured Fairy Tales from Rocky and Bullwinkle? Is it his unholy alliance between the Mormon cult and Falwell’s Liberty University?
Who knows? But as Americans see Glenn Beck as more cracked and less relevant, I have to wonder if I’ll have to renew this domain name next September. By then, perhaps Rupert Murdoch will have figured out that Beck is dragging his already un-credible network into La-La-Land and that he can’t afford him… either the cracked ratings or the black hole of a money pit the show has become.
If Anthony Wiener’s attempt to regulate hawking gold on TV bears any fruit, Beck may well be completely out of sponsors. Then what?

I have a link about this on my blog, The Glenn Beck Review, http://sharethisurlaboutglenbek.wordpress.com/, entitled Must See 3-in-1 Video: Classic Beck that you might enjoy. I think we should swap blogroll links too. Onward with the struggle.

Becks ego is way to big to even allow him to have a guest on his show. His ratings plumment couldn’t of happened to a nicer fraud. Beck is the guy who tells you to believe him while getting my mom to use his gold company and get ripped off for thousands of dollars. I thought neocons had high morals?

I’m sorry your mother got ripped off by following Beck’s instructions to buy gold.
There is a good article in the new Mother Jones magazine that discusses the morality of abusing the public trust. As an entertainer, there is an obligation to your audience to tell the truth and it’s obvious that truth is the farthest thing from Beck’s mind. Glenn Beck is cashing in millions hawking precious metals and laughing all the way to the bank.
Obviously there is a major conflict of interest when Beck seamlessly moves back and forth between his doomsday scenario for the dollar and advice to buy gold to gold commercials and then back again. Representative Anthony Wiener suggested that since gold is being used as an investment medium, those who sell it ought to be required to disclose its value and prospects just as you would any other investment. (You know, those annoying reports you get from your 401k investments). Beck’s response was to tell his listeners to send pictures to Washington of Anthony Wiener with a wiener for a nose.
So in other words, what Beck and Goldline don’t want you to know is that gold is a lousy investment, it is a sure loser in the long haul. Gold prices go up and down all the time. Fortunes have been made and lost in the process.
Here’s a great blog discussion of gold as an investment followed by a lively comments section.

For the truth about ratings, go to tvnewser.com. Beck is blowing every other station out of the water in his 5:00 p.m. time slot. ALL of the numbers are down — it’s summer! Fox News takes the top slot at EVERY hour! The only place where the truth is told.

Have you seen the Glenn Beck Lies page? How about you go there, and THEN we can discuss exactly how truthful Faux News is.

After what you just saw with the Sherrod story, if you believe that Fox is “where the truth is told” you’re a moran.
BTW, the article you are commenting on notes that Beck lost a million viewers in 9 months… and it wasn’t because it’s “summer”. And then he lost another 25% of his viewers in May. Again, NOT summer.
Reading is fundamental… unless you’re a Faux News idiot who dosen’t know their ass from a hole in their head.
