My first exposure to Glenn Beck was a piece he did on foreign oil, the large conspiracy by American car companies to purchase and kill those new 'green' technologies, and how important it is for us all to understand this.
I at first thought this was going to be an attack on the evil American car companies by a Liberal nutjob. I was wrong. It was a piece about why its so important to stop the flow of capital into countries that wish ill will on the US. I couldnt beleive that this was CNN. More recentlyl, an analysis in Time Magazine of all the news shows out discussin the bailouts and the economy, Beck had the most economists on to talk about the nuts and bolts, with 22.
He is typically middle of the road and he gets mad at both sides. The He has recently joined Fox News. An insider at CNN stated that negotiations fell apart when CNN decided to stop airing the repeat of his show in the 9pm time slot, and instead, will put Lou Dobbs on.
The first airing of Beck, which is on at 7, gets 375,000 viewers. His 9pm slot gets 485,000. So Lou Dobbs, with his AMAZING personality, will get 500,000? I think not. I think that CNN didnt like the conservative slant that Beck has, even though he goes after everyone fairly. They would rather lose money than have anyone with a conservative thought on their network. And people are up in arms because Fox News is a slant to the right? Please. NBC, CBS (or whats left of it), ABC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR (but not all of the time) slant heavily to the left. 1 against 7. And they are afraid?
