NEW YORK – Glenn Beck later this year will end his Fox News Channel talk show, which has sunk in the ratings and has suffered from an advertiser boycott.

Fox and Beck's company, Mercury Radio Arts, said Wednesday they will stay in business creating other projects for Fox television and digital, starting with some documentaries Beck is preparing.

Beck was a quick burn on Fox News Channel. Almost immediately after joining the network in January 2009, he doubled the ratings at his afternoon time slot. Fans found his conservative populism entertaining, while Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert described Beck's "crank up the crazy and rip off the knob" moments.

He was popular with tea party activists and drew thousands of people to the National Mall in Washington last August for a "restoring honor" rally.

Yet some of his statements were getting him in trouble, and critics appealed to advertisers to boycott his show last summer after Beck said President Barack Obama had "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Beck said that he went to Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman and CEO, in January to discuss ways they could continue to work together without the daily show.

"Half of the headlines say he's been canceled," Ailes said. "The other half say he quit. We're pretty happy with both of them."

Douche bag says . . . .

Glenn Beck apologizes for comparing Reform Judaism to Islamic extremism

The Fox News commentator says the remark was 'stupid' and he 'didn't do enough homework' on the topic; comments drew widespread criticism from Jewish leaders.

Fox news commentator Glenn Beck apologized on Thursday for comments that he made about the Reform movement of Judaism, which drew widespread criticism among American Jewish leaders.

On his February 22 radio show, Beck compared Reform Judaism to "radical Islam," saying that both were more about 'politics' - changing what is outside of oneself - rather than about 'religion' - changing what is inside of oneself.

Beck began his Thursday radio show by saying, "I made a mistake on Tuesday and I want to make sure you understand I was wrong on it and I apologize on it."

Referring to the comments, Beck said "someone called me 'ignorant' for it and it’s a good description of what I said. I started comparing Judaism to Islamic extremism and it was stupid." He added that he "didn't do enough homework" on the topic.

The Jewish Funds for Justice responded to Beck's apology by saying it was "welcome but incomplete," and they called on Rupert Murdoch to end Beck's tenure at Fox News.

Jewish leaders from the Reform movement and beyond slammed Beck for his comparison.

“These comments are deeply offensive, completely absurd”, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism told Haaretz. “Reform Judaism is the largest segment of the U.S. Jewish community… to reduce it to social justice agenda is just incorrect."

This latest incident is not the first time that the talk show host has caused controversy among the Jewish community.

Last month, 400 rabbis, many of whom are affiliated with the Reform movement, paid for a full page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, decrying what they called Beck making inappropriate references to the Nazi Holocaust.

The rabbis wrote that Beck made "literally hundreds of on-air references to the Holocaust and Nazis when characterizing people with whom he disagrees." He also compares American leaders he does not like to Nazis, and has said that putting the "common good" first leads to Nazi-like "death camps."

"But you diminish the memory and meaning of the Holocaust when you use it to discredit any individual or organization you disagree with. That is what Fox News has done in recent weeks, and it is not only 'left-wing rabbis' who think so."

 

 

As if I really give a shit. Nothing but bottom feeders the lot of them.

Glenn Beck is saying some pretty crazy stuff about Egypt. I can't even describe it, you've got to watch it.

Why We Watch Glenn Beck


"At this writing, in the early summer of 2010, Beck has in the last few weeks: mocked the president’s 11-year-old daughter; praised Joseph McCarthy; recommended the work of an anti-Semitic author; released a “rooted in fact” thriller about the United States succumbing to a world government; marveled that a Sarah Palin biographer has not been punched in the face; and given his considered opinion that the private sector “could probably take care of things in Afghanistan better” than U.S. troops. Beck has been in what might be called an Ann Coulter spiral: Each outrage must pack more shock value than the previous. The difference is that Beck, unlike Coulter, has millions of passionate followers."

"At the end of 2009, Gallup asked Americans which living man anywhere in the world they admire most. More volunteered Beck than offered the pope, Bill Gates, Billy Graham, Bill Clinton, or George H.W. Bush. The only man to be mentioned more often than Beck was South Africa’s Nelson Mandela."

He has compared himself to a prophet, or even Jesus. He is working hard to elevate himself to something more more than the Morning Zoo comedian that he is.

Yep. I think I said this before, but he's using one mythology to battle another.
