The Right Scoop
This was actually my first thought on the alleged ratings decline. Of course anyone who hates Glenn would spin it into that his viewers are leaving him in droves.
"The one that states NO ONE could actually be that clever, right?"
You give the sycophants far too much credit. That's like jumping into a mosh pit at a NIN concert and surmising the next day that all of those cuts and bruises were a result of a plot against you. Rather, it's quite simple, no collaboration is even necessary, void of any opposing force, chaotic agents will take over on a path of destruction, even competing with each other. I know all about the Bilderberg's and have even spent an afternoon milling about the "Grove" and you're looking for something, that even though the idea is titillating and captivating, just isn't there. Herein the rule of Parsimony applies, the less complex explanation that something precious, but fragile, falls apart not because of a grand scheme, but because of gross neglect.
I used to enjoy glens show but lately it's a bit preachy and doom and gloom. If I wanted a religious hour would watch the 700 club.. His show needs that sense of fun his radio show has...Plus I'm sick of all the Van Jones yap...yes glen we get it you think Van Jones is the black Antichrist
Yeah! With Beck gone, Fox could put more life essential stories about Charlie Sheen's latest drama and important #*%% like that over the airwaves! I'm not a Mormon, but why should morality be thrown out? By the way, where did ya'll first hear about all the crap that BHO and his Czars and administration were and are doing? I listen to a wide array of people and read a lot, so most of what he said, I knew, but never had anyone drawn straight lines for me to follow. I also found a lot of websites and magazines, people and new books to read. The American people were finally waking up because of the attention that Beck drew! All of that is priceless in my view. Beck should be moved to O'Reilly's time slot!
Actually I did, in his video Jones quotes the likes of, "Media Matters, Newsweek, and the "national media"." as the ones who brought to his attention the fact that Beck was "ripping off his material". Not exactly the most credible source of witnesses wouldn't you say?
He then goes on to say that Beck "presents truths, but with lies injected into it". Not exactly the smoking gun you intended it to be. Jones is arguing that Beck stole his material... but then changed it and made it false... um... so if it's now filled with lies, wouldn't you think it would be different? OR perhaps Beck came to a different conclusion then that of ol' Jones-y.
And then he says Beck is a plant from the establishment.
Look I get what you are trying say. I, and likely many others here, don't care. Even if all the global stuff Alex talks about is true, and I believe it is possible, it doesn't change the fact that you HAVE to save the republic for any of it to matter.
You CAN'T get the majority, or even a large enough minority to matter, of people behind a conspiracy theorist and then effect change. It's never been done, and it, especially, has never been done in the time frame needed in order to protect our freedoms.
While I do care whether or not a global elite is controlling things, and I think they are, the goal is to wake a majority of people up, AND if what you say is true, don't you think once people started looking into it it would just drive more people to Alex?
Food for thought. All I'm saying is there is nothing gained by saying Beck stole material.

It's the evidence that matters in this situation - the whistleblower is irrelevent.
Check www.infowars.com , listen to Alex Jones radio shows (they're all archived on the site - free for listening), watch his free videos on youtube.com.
Compare his research and message of the past 15+ years up against what Glenn Beck has been doing for the past 3, or 5 if you like.
"Even if all the global stuff Alex talks about is true, and I believe it is possible, it doesn't change the fact that you HAVE to save the republic for any of it to matter."
THIS!
"All I'm saying is there is nothing gained by saying Beck stole material."
NO.
There is the WORLD to gain by it!
YOU are looking into the links,
YOU are involved,
YOU are engaged.
You're checking the links and doing the research.
I've accomplished my mission.
You've found Alex Jones, James Corbett.
It's opening up your mind to avenues and ideas you hadn't previously considered.
YOU are now fast approaching what we call The Neo-Crisis Point (named after Neo of 'The Matrix' fame): Take the blue pill and you go back to sleep, you forget all about this and things continue the way they have been.
Or you take the Red Pill and you find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.
"You CAN'T get the majority, or even a large enough minority to matter, of people behind a conspiracy theorist and then effect change. It's never been done, and it, especially, has never been done in the time frame needed in order to protect our freedoms."
So, you believe that simply because it hasn't been done before we should just give up and go along with their sick agenda?
How dare you call yourself a Patriot!
How dare you turn your back on our fine Republic!
I don't believe you at all - I KNOW you're made of much sterner stuff; of the same steel our Founding Fathers had burning deep within them that gave them the strength and courage to stand up to the greatest power on Earth at the time and say 'Enough! I will live in freedom, my loved ones will live in freedom, or I will die fighting for it!'
We have the numbers, we have the time, we have the cause, and we have the man.

134 comments.. wow. Hot topic RS. Without having read full article or any of the posts. My lil 2 cents is hoping GB stays on the air. Whether it is with Mercury or Fox. Imho GB reaches many folks with information - awoken many from sleep.
I too got tired of the way he was always saying...next hour, or tomorrow or next week...you gotta give him this much...he knows how to get you to come back for me and he is quite an entertainer with all of his information!
Oh yes he does care who he offends... that's why he still hasn't "upped the ante" yet by exposing more globalists. Beck's telling us mostly truth- just not all of it. He can't and stay on the air. He plays the game because he knows he is where he can do the most good. If he leaves FOX, it will be because he stepped on hidden toes, refuses to introduce more misinformation, or is proving to successful... and that's all I have to say about that.
39% down? Could it be that that others, like myself don't watch Glenn Beck on cable, but watch the show either on The Right Scoop or on Watch Glenn Beck.com. Are the viewers on those sites counted?
Everyone needs to take a minute to email Fox News and tell them Glenn Beck is our only source of truth.
So let me get this straight, Jones has a copyright on truth? So, only Alex could ever post, say, or highlight what is actually going on the world? Or is Beck not allowed to do his own research or come to his own conclusions?
That's also leaving out that there are things Beck talks about that Alex doesn't.
troll,.. lower case troll. expand his profile. NO posts what so ever.
just say'n.
DT. You sound like you take pleasure in imagining glimmer in the eyes of Christians at the thought of you not going to heaven.
I'm sorry for you, DT.
Beck is one of the few people that actually tells us the truth. The left continue to do all they can to silence him and us.
I'm not really a fan of Beck..I started watching him because he was before the News..but he changed my life for the better..he made me think more about how I live..I stopped being a lefty socialist and started to think outside the box.. I had started changing a little before I started watching him he just give me the push I needed..
Again, my point. Religion is not any sort of "rock," nor would I dare say it's any sort of "evil." It is as I have said many times in the past...a double-edged blade. It's a great crutch for those who need it, but for those who know how to manipulate these religions to pull the strings on those walking with the crutches...it can and has been used to commit atrocities.

Hilter a crationist? Really?!?! "the slaughter of Antioch and Jerusalem were executed by Christian crusaders"... what?!
FNC has been going downhill since the 1st ORLY interview w/ Barry Soetoro. the 2nd interview w/ BO & BS just left a really bad taste in my mouth.
"We don't just eat food because our body needs it, we also choose and know which is good for our body. We don't eat the same food everyday because we get sick of it" Just my analogy.
I watch Glenn's program, although there are times, that I don't care his topic, but most of the times I listen to him because I understand he wants us to get informed, and I know he tells the truth. I grew up in the time that morally inclined with God, and compare to now, the world was much better to live then.
I see the world is in shambles and our nation close to ruin now. We are just watching the people that ruining it and playing us! Glenn put his life on the line in the fight for not just our future but for the next generations future! our freedom! aren't we for it or just whine like kids. We need to act like adults and not just adults but responsible adults to take this nation back to it's course with Glenn, Rush, Palin, West, Hannity, etc.
We don't need the MSM lies, we all knew that, they think our freedom, our future and our life is their game! They are evil and MUST be IGNORE. We should all support the freedom fighter all the more.
Sorry folks if my grammar is not right, I honestly not from this country but I am an American, been through war and dictatorship regime. My family have come out in it ok, although it took years for us to recovered. So, there's no reason that we can't do it here, it may take years to fix what has been done, but WE need to do it TOGETHER AS ONE. I love this country and the american dream that it gives me. Now, is the time to be as ONE Nation to fight back what has been taken from us, from the real americans!
That is only because you do not see with your heart what Christ endured for YOUR sins as well as mine-You do not understand the holiness of God or the love that He has for humanity. Perhaps one day when you are looking into the face of your first born you will see how wonderful God is.
And according to Christianity we live in a sinful world and people can distort the truth so lumping Christianity and faith by some poor examples, though understandable is not thought provoking but merely an excuse to not investigate God, faith and Christianity.
If you knocked on the door...God will open it-but it is up to you so whenever you are ready! But you have to want to know the truth...and many don't!
Don't believe MSM, this all started with Huffington Post last year, they have for a year been trying to report that Beck lost his audience, to try to make him seem less relevant.
The MSM wants to take Beck out before the 2012 election, because they know he is the only one who has gone after Obama and his cronies and made it stick, no one else even mentions the losers Obama's name.
The highest rated show on FOX, O' Reilly spends more time defending Obama then criticizing him, and no one else on TV, Fox or any other show cable or network will even say a bad word about Obama, besides Hannity but he's doesn't have the same potency or research as Beck.
Beck's show last month was the 4 highest rated cable program, competing against shows that are on 8 and 9 pm, he gets almost 2 million viewers for a 5 pm time slot, 4 times more then his competition, so according to NYT's that means it's time to cancel him.
MSM treats John Stewart like a God, practically report for his approval and he gets half the viewers a night then Beck gets at 5pm.
In the articulate they write Beck got 100, 000 to his rally when they could easily find out what the real numbers were, closer to 250,000 but they has per usual lie and low ball anything to do with conservatives,
Funny, how the newspaper that's the competition of FOX and it's own newspaper WSJ, and the editor of NTY"S last week criticized FOX and called it anything but news, all of a sudden as a scoop about FOX and one of it's most popular shows and it's host, who has not shown cowardice about going after Obama, calling bullshiz
"Or I may have been wanting to see Stossel's show, I can't remember. Stossel's show is still great. Maybe being on once a week (and having great guests) is the key. "
Stossel is good! Him and the judge are the most level headed on then network besides Powers, Cavuto, and the guy that does Fox News Sunday. But Stossel and Napolitano are more interesting and worth tuning in once in a while.
However, Stossel really blundered putting Susanne Somers on his show. She's pretty, looks healthy, and young for her age, but she's got no credibility and is way over the top pushing her books and diets. She's the wrong kind of guest for Stossel and he spent the entire segment slow pitching, to the degree that it makes you wonder if his arm was twisted by some Fox executive. It was very unnatural and out-of-character.
Let me start of by saying that Beck still crushes the 5pm competition and cable viewership overall is down everywhere anyway.
However, to the main point - the solution is so simple!
I think Glenn's programs quite boring and repetitive because that's exactly how he's chosen to do it now. He can still talk about the same issues, but he should have MORE GUESTS!!! on and bring back some of the comedic moments that he used to have.
I agree with Scoop, that his radio program is much more enjoyable than his TV show. The solutions for the TV are all there. He had the perfect formula a while back.
MORE GUESTS! I want to hear other people speak!
Mr. Beck probably doesn't care about the contract, but he no doubt enjoys access to a large audience to get his message across. He's always known the hazards of speaking out and a fluctuating audience goes with the job. He's got radio, internet, and books that are well balanced for revenue, as well as reach, so he no doubt could live without Fox. But, without being self-aggrandizing (he plays himself as a rodeo clown), he's become Fox's number one show. O'Reilly is getting on in years and Hannity without Colmes comes across as crass and dogmatic, a bit of a bully even. Palin, Hucklebee, not even serious contenders for his spot, plus Fox will be suspending their hosts/media consultants that make bids for the primaries coming up.
One thing Beck could use more of is ordinary celebrity guests. And he needs to let THEM talk more. I saw once a guest show up and utter no more than a few sentences while Glenn told the audience what the significance/meaning/impact of the guest's position was. He should also select his audience a little more carefully, meaning, he needs some liberals in the crowd. I've got a cousin that would do:) A rah rah crowd makes the program seem too campy - I mean who can take a news program seriously with applause, canned or live, doesn't matter, you don't applaud news, especially doom and gloom.
My guess is this "leak" on drudge is a trial balloon. It could be floated by Beck to strengthen his position in a contract renewal, or by Fox to see if they would draw fire for not keeping him on. Even if he went for another year, I'm betting it won't go beyond that anyway because Beck and his message will burn out, or the nation will collapse.
I predicted 60 days from November for Bank of America, but with Wikileaks out of commission, I think they may have bought another 45 days, but that discounts the MBS Investor law suits which are heating up again. Blackrock, Pimco., Paulson & Co (the big hedge funds) have $100B+ lined up with over 25% of investors to meet PSA terms, and Greenwich with their $300B will get back on (not hard to find 25% of investors when they might lose everything to other creditors), and that will leave the GSEs looking impotent at a time when both Congress and the Administration are ready to pull the plug, so regardless of the January 1st non settlement, you can bet FMAE/FMAC will be exacting a higher price on the Countrywide loans, than previously not announced. Chase and Citi, even Wells Fargo could go under with Investors forcing buy-backs. FDIC is insolvent, so that means at least another $1T in Federal Reserve financing and while that was a hard to swallow pill, adding another $1T will kill the patient. Even now the Treasury Auctions are being bought up by the Fed rather than REAL investors. Since the Fed is keeping both Treasury bonds and the American stock markets propped up, it's easy to see that both will collapse.
So, folks, buy those precious metals... gold, silver, bullets. I'd recommend oil too, but take it from someone who learned the hard way, when you buy crude by the barrel, it doesn't actually get delivered in barrels, you'll need a holding tank:)
ahahahahahahaha I LOVE IT!
I want to say more but "let's get the hell out" said it all
Becks Radio Show is awesome his TV show is serious and no matter what he has been talking about he put his money where his mouth is, I wouldn't be surprised but I don't say that Glenn Beck is a good man teaching the truth and people don't want the truth!
Only thing people can slam him on is being a mormon, and they do. they can't say he doesn't speak the truth because he does. I have a heart for the guy and he has enough money to be alright but i don't want the one guy on the air speaking the truth to lose his job, especially with Fox
This shouldn't be a surprise. Things will pick up again at the end of the year and 2012 when politics becomes more pertinent to everyone again.
Yah, the NYT's and the left would never "plan" anything..right? Just unheard of....
The left are such bad planners...like the progressive plan that's being implemented that's been destroying the country for 70 + years....
Silly me for thinking the left would "Plan" an attack on Glenn the week he takes a vacation. What world order do you live in?

I think Glenn is seeing things in a religious way for the same reason so many others are: we believe that God exists, that the Bible is God's word, and that God didn't inspire the writing of the Bible in order to simply waste so many prophets', scribes', and apostles' ink. I admit I know little of Glenn's denomination's official position concerning the "End Times", but I suspect that Glenn believes we are at a crossroads here on Earth. From what he has been "preaching" (for lack of a better term), Glenn obviously believes that there remains a possibility of a majority of us yet choosing the right path and avoiding destruction for all. I, however, do not share this rather optimistic point of view. Call me a fatalist, but I believe we as a group have already passed the point of no return. What does that mean? Simply put: if I am correct, within the next few years all arguments that all men have ever had over the existence, nature, and mission of God will be brought to a sudden halt forever. Glenn has taken a more ecumenical approach, though, and this is his message's achilles heel. While reaching out to those he believes to be moderate Muslims, Glenn still talks about the theory that the 12th Imam/Mahdi of Islam is actually the Anti-Christ of the Bible. From what I have read/heard, I am inclined towards believing that this theory may well be true, too, but unlike Glenn, I am not attempting at the same to reach out to Muslims and those of other conflicting belief systems in an effort to forestall our country's or our world's imminent punishment, chastisement, and ultimate redemption.
If you look in his time slot of 5 PM - Nobody is even close - He is a heavy thinker - sometimes I can't take it - BUT HE IS correct more than not.
The actions of the current BOZOs in the WH are simply outrageous - Obalbla
pokes his finger in our eyes every day - and we just stand there and take it.
Look at this - 5 PM slot http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/03/04/cable-news-ratings-for-thursday-march-3-2011/84673
Also, I stopped watching Beck for a while, especially during the fall, but lately he has went back to putting things together and exposing the communist/socialist agenda at work and how they are hand-in-hand with the Islamo-Facist movement. That is the Beck I like, so I've started watching again.
