Three facts: 1) Glenn Beck is beyond pathetic, 2) Advertising boycotts WORK!, and 3)

3) Bears really DO s#!t in the woods.

Media Matters does an excellent job of reporting on a little lovers spat over the weekend, between Fox News and their former resident clown act Glenn Beck.

Beck claimed he left Fox because he 'wanted to protect his soul.'
A Fox SPOX then released a statement essentially confirming what Beck said, except substituting the word ASS for soul.

Media Matters then does an excellent job of crunching the RATINGS numbers showing Beck's show going down like the Titanic after hitting the crazy iceberg.

There is one message in this, my friends: HITTING THESE CRACKPOTS WHERE THEY CAN FEEL IT, WORKS! As much as we don't like the idea of business buying our government, we still DO have some influence over the actions of business. Simply saying to them "If you continue to support (insert politician, policy, media hack name here) we will cease to buy your stuff" actually WORKS. Sure, it's a long way from real democracy, but it's better than nothing.

Yeah, I can see that. Trouble is, he was delusional, overdramatic & 'close-up ready' before he started on FAUX, so he can't blame Roger Ailes.
