thismomentinblackhistory: He did it to himself by using the same trick over and over: "Tune in to find out the COVER-UP that THEY don't want you to know about that will CHANGE EVERYTHING." This was probably interesting for his viewers the first few times, but how many times can you use that as a set-up until you resemble a cult leader that keeps pushing back "the end of the world" as the dates you predict come and go?

The cynic in me would like to point out that those people still seem to wind up with a harem of nubile, willing women and are usually skip drinking the sea-breeze-flavored cyanide.

Wow, he's losing some New York coverage.

That's okay, New York isn't a big radio town. ;)

He can always slink on over to satellite radio. He'll be a small but devoted audience that listens to his every word.

Why does everyone hate the freedom of speech? This is just like Dr. Laura. Can't you see how these views are being attacked?

Mugato: I wouldn't even have known about this douchebag if it wasn't for Fark. I guess I'm a bit out of touch. Although I don't think I'm missing much.

Let me just sum up the experience for you:

JustaskingquestionsOLIGARHRRRGGH1999wasuneventfulI'MSOSADFORAMERICAgeorgesoros BUYGOLD

I just find his irrational hate boner for Woodrow Wilson hilarious.

I mean Wilson was a dick, but he's not really actively involved in politics here in 2011.

That train made it to the "crazy" station long ago!

Grote-Man: Maybe he should learn how to love and forget how to hate...

Done in one

Translation; we wanted political crazy but not relgious crazy.

devildog123: Back in about 2004-2005, I had a roommate in college who listened to him. He actually wasn't too bad then, and on Fridays during football season he was hilarious. He would call up convinence stores in the cities of opposing teams and ask really easy trivia questions (like "who's the VP?" or "what country is on our northern border?") and then tally up the scores to decide who would win on Sunday.

I think as his popularity grew it went to his head, and he went full on farking insane.

So, essentially, he was like an amusing morning radio show host with interesting political views, and then dropped the enjoyable humor (the convenience store survey thing sounds awesome) in favor of the rabble-rousing politics.

Y'know, thinking about it that way, I realize that a LOT of the morning radio show hosts I've listened to over the years have some absolutely insane political views when you break it down. Most of them could give Beck a run for their money.

He already gets an hour on sat radio (Fox news is broadcast on XM). Pretty good time slot too, 5pm commute.

Who the fark cares what this fartbox thinks or says or does? He's nobody special, he's never done a goddamn thing but flap his crappy yap.

I think this guy is back on the sauce.

The message must be controlled.

Grote-Man: Maybe he should learn how to love and forget how to hate...

He can't, not with those mental wounds that just won't heal

How exactly do radio stations track ratings with any accuracy? Do people fill out little cards like for the Neilson ratings?

wow what an appropriate ad in the middle of the article


/on a school computer so no adblock

Did anyone happen to notice the comments were related to Media Matters?? Thats Soros.

The guy boiled a live frog on live TV. Seriously. Guy's a farkin' reject.

ne2d: How exactly do radio stations track ratings with any accuracy? Do people fill out little cards like for the Neilson ratings?

Yes, and also boxes to track your listening habits, much like Neilson

That's Al Gore you're thinking of, and he did it to prove a point about globam warming

Ugh. Morning readings from the Book of Rand, a fat guy, and a right wing shrew they call a "liberal" 'cause she's a girl. Thank goodness for NPR.

wow Glenn, i'll be bathing my pillow in tears tonight, clutching my bar of gold and stick of chalk...

Write when you can.

You will be, what's the word, "missed" or "mist" ???

Media Matters for America

They are pro-censorship assholes.

Four small stations drop Beck's show, and it's news somehow. Radio stations drop and pick up shows on a regular basis. Meanwhile other stations have picked up Beck's show. All it takes is a google to see. You don't want to see that, though. It farks up the fantasy.

The move comes just months after WOR Radio, the chain's flagship station in New York, replaced Beck with a local host in January.

WOW. Just months ago, a station dropped Beck. It's a virtual avalanche of lost stations, then. Isn't it? Replacing syndication with local shows, and vice versa, is also a common thing in radio.

That article is just Media Matters pretending that their campaign to get Beck, or anyone they disagree with, removed from broadcasting is working. Dream on.

CaptainBeer: The guy boiled a live frog on live TV. Seriously. Guy's a farkin' reject.

No he didn't - The frog was a fake. Obviously you never watched that.

barneyfifesbullet:

Wow dude, calm down. It's an article don't have a coronary. Oh and censorship is when the government does it. How is that difficult to understand?

pstawicki: CaptainBeer: The guy boiled a live frog on live TV. Seriously. Guy's a farkin' reject.

No he didn't - The frog was a fake. Obviously you never watched that.

Dude, it was real. He did as an example of global warming. In sub-tropical regions, the indigenous frog species are going extinct due to rising temperatures, and he boiled the frog to basically show people what was happening (albeit in an exaggerated way)

It seems like just a year a go this guy was accused of being a puppet-master or a pied piper for the Republican Party, and that his influence reached everywhere. Now, he seems so marginalized and weak that I sometimes forget that he even exists. He really was just a fad, wasn't he? Glad people are coming to their senses.

Careful - Glenn may bang you for white-knighting him, but he'll also kill you when he's done.

Only morons (on both sides) ever took him seriously. In fact, sometimes I think the left took him more seriously than his supposed base.

I love trainwrecks...oh wait
