Bravo to FOXNews and Roger Ailes for finally axing Glenn Beck's controversial television show. Long-time Rant-Ravers may recall a piece I wrote some 24 months ago entitled
"Rightwing Talk Shows Are Killing GOP" where I argued that Mr. Beck and company were alienating the independents by pandering to the extreme right and weakening the GOP's national position as a legitimate political party. Mr. Beck, a self-proclaimed everyman without a formal education will fade into the background of FOX documentaries which, no doubt, will prominently feature crazy conspiracy theories of an anti-Semitic nature drawn out on elaborate 20-m whiteboards in full technicolor®, 3D viewing splendor. Why it took so long to oust Mr. Beck is unclear. His sponsors began abandoning him a while ago perhaps to the tune of over 400 advertisers
(source) who had already given up support. You have to like a guy who believes passionately in something, but why not something useful instead of shameless? Good bye Glenn Beck may FOXNews find someone better to fill your shoes.
