Has CNN fired Glenn Beck yet?
Have you seen the creepy video where he asks that woman to take nude photos. God that guy is awful!

1. I saw it.
Did you see that woman's face when Beck said that? She was appalled and in disbelief.

3. I tried to catch up on news on CNN Headline News yesterday and today.
Got Glenn Beck and Anna Nicole Smith. Guess that can't be a news source any longer.

Too bad. I still miss real news.

4. No, but he might be canceled soon enough.
Well, I can hope anyway.

Guess who'll be competing head-to-head with him soon enough?

26. Better tactic:
Write a letter to the shows advertisers. Include links to videos of Beck's "Greatest" moments.

The network will not care what you say. The adman, on the other hand, the network will very much listen to.

6. Get real. You really think they would fire Glenn Beck for that?
Methinks you give CNN too much credit. He should lose his job for that, but he won't. That's the kind of thing his audience likes. Boneheaded, former frat boy date-rape types who admire the jerky quality in other men. Glenn Beck probably won points with his audience for that.

9. The only way they will fire him is if she files a suit for sexual
harassment. I don't see that happening but it should. He wouldn't have made that comment to a man.

Why would they fire him, though? The M$M loves vile 'wingers.

Thank goodness we at least have Keith. :)

28. Yes,
I believe he's a contributer on Good Morning America.

Seeing as Beck doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, what he will contribute and why is beyond me.

22. I'm wondering who watches CNN anyway?
Most of my "crowd" rejected them about 2 years ago thanks to the sanguine Paula Zahn and the nauseating Wolf. The right-wing considers CNN a liberal channel. So who watches it?

27. He's so repulsive physically, so deficient in character, and such a creep
Edited on Fri Mar-02-07 03:59 PM by Judi Lynn
I can't get past the giant nose, the beady, ugly eyes, the inability to control himself, and his actual stunning stupidity and personal emptiness. He's not successful as a person. I see him as someone of no value.

The fact that he has been hired would tell you CNN is using him as a doorway to his mentally challenged right-wing fans, since mere pandering to the right-wing alone through twisting the news like Fox hasn't brought them the ratings they crave.

That's THEIR solution to the ratings problem, instead of producing really good news shows.



Shhh. Don't tell anyone I can make a maggot gag. Glen Beck.


What kind of childish, backward brat would have ever even considered posing like this for a publicity photo? Repellent beyond description.

Again, and the last time I did the Nielsen, I complained about him just cause he creeped me out, little did I know how bad he'd get.... GEEZ...

Gotta say, I actually put Scarborough COuntry on my diary, gotta give Joe props for having all liberal guests and talking sense...
