I don't understand how a guy who can rally the TEA party to such success (not alone, but he played a big part) can flip a switch and try to get back on CNN's dick. The thread title says it all. Had a local morning show host (known for his stunts in Chicago and elsewhere) who repeatedly said he would never work for the competition, and often railed on them and condemned them for their policies. He stood by co-hosts even though they sometimes disagreed on issues and referred to them as his family. He trended pretty right wing and I enjoyed listening to him. Then his contract came up for renewal about the same time the station was being sold. After a 3 week hiatus he re-appears... on the aforementioned competing station, where he proceeded to bash his old station. "Hey people, this is a business, and I made my decision based on business" I recall him saying. That might have been acceptable; what wasn't for me was when he started backstabbing his old co-hosts and belittling his former female staffer, to the appreciative giggles of his new blond bubble headed "gee, you're like so smart" accomplice. The only one of old crew that came along was the token functionally MR tag-along who could be goaded into eating the ghost pepper pizza or skinny dip in a porta-potty for the amusement of the audience. He's tried to stay in the spotlight but if he fell into Mason Verger's pig pen I don't know if I'd bother pulling him out. Fuck him. |

For those who are doubting, you do realize that CNN is also running this story. Right? Glenn Beck Sought Out CNN Slot Beck is a disgusting shill and media whore with nothing on his mind but making a buck. He has never been about any convictions and those who listened to him (myself included for a very short time) were all duped. He's just an entertainer, running his mealy little mouth, saying whatever gets him paid the most. You hate rich folk? Not in the slightest. I'm extremely pro-capitalist and if he makes money whoring his lies to crowds of fools, good for him. Oh ok because you said he was disgusting and just trying to make a buck. Last time I checked we are all trying to make a buck. Carry on. There's making a buck doing what you love , and there's making a buck pandering to the 'highest bidder' to sell your schtick. You cant tell me that he wasnt making decent money a couple years ago . . . . . why do you need to resort to ass kissing your enemy and selling out your core values ?!!???!? GREED , thats why . Greed is OK , to a point ...but not when you compromise the same values you so loudly mock and beat down on your radio show. I dunno what to make of this horseshit , but I pushed him aside after the Boston Marathon bombing and never looked back . He's background static now , if he's even on my radio anymore. |

And his news channel is still better than 99% of the rest of the shit on the air

I can't stand listening to him. I do remember him connecting the dots between Obama and radicals which I thought was good work but my head was going to explode a few weeks ago when I heard him basically calling anyone who opposed immigration to be racist.

I have liked his show when he was on Fox, I very occasionally watch him on The Blaze (I have Dish so I put his show on timer). I even listen to him very very occasionally on the radio. But I don't follow him consistently enough to know what's going on with this.
I don't know what to believe. If he's going any way the wind blows, screw him. ETA: I remember him warning us about the Muslim Brotherhood and 'califate' way, way, way before anyone else was. I give him credit for that. |

He's up to something. Wilkow leaving The Blaze was a clue to me. The be nice to the illegals shtick was another. I wonder if subscription numbers to The Blaze are plateauing or started to decrease and he is looking to sell off while his Company still has value. Edited- grammar To listen to Wilkow it sounded like he was as surprised as everyone else his show was cancelled. Yeah I got that feeling too. I understand Dana Loesch's appeal, and her getting a show, but IMO her and Wilkow are do two different things. If Beck is trying to move center and try to reconcile with Dems/Commies/Leftists and he didn't see Andrew Wilkow ever changing the tone of his program then I can understand The Blaze cancelling Wilkow. But if that were the case, I don't ever see Dana Loesch having a change of heart and her start offering an olive branch to that side either. It could have been a strictly financial decision; maybe Dana costs less than Wilkow in production costs. The suddenness of the programming change caught me by surprise though. I haven't heard Wilkow say anything about it on Wikow Majority, but my schedule changed right around the time Wilkow was dropped from the Blaze and I can't listen every day. |

He rode that horse to its end. Time to change teams in order to keep the gravy flowing. Beck has always claimed to champion individual rights based on the sacredness of personhood over collective rights based on the sacredness of The State. He has long claimed his belief in the individual over the collective was rooted in Christian values. I frankly don't see a change in such "convictions" here. What I do see is a reality of American conservatism, that many claim does not exist, being manifested. |

He has convictions. They involve $$$$, but that's a conviction...

I'll admit at times I've really liked what I've seen him say; but at other times I didn't. He seems to have a bi-polar personality to me. Not that he's mentally ill, just that he goes on wild swings and when on these swings he's entirely different than when he swings the other way. View Quote That is what i notice too. even his radio show is that way. one hour is derp and then the next will be fine. i dont get it. |

I still like Beck. Yes he's douchey sometimes. But post-Newton I didn't see many other talking heads speaking up for gun owners and the NRA. That alone won him a lifetime pass in my book.
I'm not joking. |

I dont get to listen as much as I would like either. Andrew didnt say much about it other than he was surprised and disappointed. He didnt really say much else about it. Thats alright I think Wilkow has a bright future and some other network will pick him up. |

The website is garbage for all the reasons you stated. I enjoyed the TheBlaze TV not for Beck, but for shows like Wilkow, Dana, Hot Shots and 3-Gun Nation. With Wilkow nixed I am not going to spend $5/mo for a channel that I don't have a lot of time to watch, and no longer carries the programming I enjoyed the most. |

weather vane or I like wind sock better.
I'm sorry my compassion is quite limited on the illegal immigration problem. I'd be lest concerned if the courts didn't order the taxpayer to put them on the welfare rolls with all the trimmings. If they came in and worked their butts off in ag where few will work then I say give them a permit but NO WELFARE FREEBIES. |

lol
I'm no fan of Glenn Beck, but he's right. conservatives are pussies. IIRC he's always leaned libertarian as opposed to conservative. |
