GLENN BECK LEAVING FOX

BREAKING NEWS 4-6-11

Special Comment by William W. Wexler

As we predicted months back, Glenn Beck is leaving Fox News, having milked the cash cow past the point of insanity into the land of dangerous paranoid delusions.

As yet, Beck has not announced that his tear-soaked departure will be accompanied by his woe-laced life where poor widdle him will allow God to “take my eyes”.

Crocodile tears, phony posturing, fractured history, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Move along, no Honor here.

Fox News has been the primary platform from which Beck has nurtured his culture war on “progressives” and George Soros, among others, with a campaign of lies, slurs, smears, and nasty dis-information.  He claimed the mantle of TeaBagger Leader with the 9/12 Project, which he threw off and under the bus the next year with his failed “Restore Honor” rally at the nation’s capitol.  His “Restore Honor” rally was the beginning of the end; he started a failing bid to become the next Billy Graham and by doing so he alienated the TeaBagger Christians (he’s a Mormon) and the red-meat nutjobs who don’t want forgiveness chat, they want blood and guts.

It is unclear what part Rupert Murdoch has played in this separation, but one has to see that he is a forward-looking businessman and that Beck’s craziness has contributed to making Fox News the most polarized and least respected source of information on the planet.  Congratulations are due to StopBeck.com, who took over the task of the sponsor boycott and stayed with it.  Next up will be cutting Beck’s book sales off at the knees by selective boycotts of booksellers, who are already struggling to stay alive from internet competition.

This will not affect the Glenn Beck Report, which will continue to provide you with the facts about Glenn Beck until he his hounded off America’s airwaves and beyond.  Quinn assures me that he is ready, willing, and patient to stay the course until it’s finished.
