I only gave you the bare bones of this excellent post. Please go here to read the rest.Glenn Beck is here to stay -- as far as Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are concerned -- far into the future. It would take an abrupt end to the largely FOX-led right wing hysteria to disappear before you will see Beck canned. And that won't be happening anytime in the forseeable future.
That's due to many reasons. I'll try to enumerate a few:
- Beck is becoming an increasingly key factor in inciting the hateful mobs [...]
- FOX will carry Beck indefinitely with small time ads [...]
- FOX is Rupert Murdoch's main vehicle for ensuring the continued and unquestioned greed of the corporate ruling class, and Beck is the most successful gutter carnival barker in terms of churning up hateful and igniting emotions that they have. [...]
- As BuzzFlash has noted many a time, Naomi Klein many years ago awoke us to the concept that many big corporate advertisers back the right wing media shills to insure that the heat for fleecing the American economy is diverted to blaming the government, liberals, minorities and immigrants. [...]
FOX won't be firing Beck. He's a key player on their team of protecting corporate rule through playing the Pied Piper and leading the misinformed off the cliffs while the companies pickpocket them.
ColorofChange.org did the correct and exciting thing, but nothing has changed FOX's influence yet. [...]Sorry, but Glenn Beck's audience is increasing, and he'll likely be promoted to a prime time spot.
Right now he's not going anywhere, except for a big increase in his salary when his contract is up.
He's serving his employers well.
