Poll question: Will Glenn Beck be back on air after his from his forced vacation from Fox News?
TV Newser: Fox News Forced Glenn Beck To Take Vacation As Advertisers Abandon His Show

The boycott of Glenn Beck's show,led by the group Color of Change, has resulted in some 20 advertisers dropping sponsorship of his "show" on the Fox News Channel. Fox is feeling the heat and it now appears that Beck's vacation this week wasn't voluntary:

First on TVNewser: Tipsters inside Fox News tell us Glenn Beck's vacation this week from his Fox News show was not planned. We hear Beck was told to take this week off to let some of the heat surrounding him die down. That heat began July 28 on "Fox & Friends" when Beck said he thought Pres. Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people," adding, "This guy is, I believe, a racist."

A Fox News spokesperson denied our accounts and simply told us, "Glenn Beck will back on Monday." But several sources inside FNC confirm that this is a forced vacation.

1. Fox won't want to admit it is being bullied by advertizers
So he'll be back, perhaps in a slightly muted fashion. But then he will have to leave for some "other" reason shortly thereafter.

2. Fox "News" doesn't make money. That's not their purpose.
Their entertainment business subsidizes their propaganda operation.

The Simpsons and Family Guy pay Glenn Beck's salary- not Verizon and Geico.
