If he was a network show he'd be cancelled.

1. If it was any network other than FOX, he'd be cancelled.

Gotta love it. Beck's show still gets to be on the air despite dismal ratings, a reputation of offensiveness, and an advertiser boycott that's left him scraping the bottom of the barrel by putting on gold scammers and survival seed salesmen.

But when Olbermann hits the top of the ratings charts, the corporate masters fire him.

Ah, but it's all due to supply and demand of the free market... :sarcasm:

2. I believe the righties don't care about ratings. Many right wing magazines

are not profitable. They only care about getting the propaganda out there.

4. Yep, GB is pure propaganda. Fox could care about GB's profitability. n/t

5. Same with their books...

They're almost always on the best sellers list because those magazines buy 'em in bulk and hand 'em out to new subscribers.

3. "If he was a network show he'd be cancelled."

Especially considering how toxic he is for advertisers now!

Nope, he's still on the air because the FOX bosses WANT him there.

6. I find it hard that even the most RW young adults would watch him.

He is so ludicrously "uncool," to put it mildly. Seems to me that older teens and young adults have little problem sensing "an act," as well.
