Glenn Beck to Switch-Hit for the Dark Side
Closes deal with FNC
 

Early reports suggested ass-man and CNN "personality" Glenn Beck is finalizing a deal with Fox News, and now confirmation. The silver-haired bigot-y blowhard will snag the 5 pm spot on the "fair and balanced" news network beginning this spring, which pits him opposite Chris Matthews' Hardball (assuming his MSNBC contract gets re-upped next year). Can we try to determine an ass-timate for how much Rupert Murdoch will shell out for the opinionated Republican?

Last year, Beck signed a $50 million five-year renewal for his radio gig with Clear Channel, so clearly he's worth some cash — perhaps making him too rich for CNN Headline News' blood. But radio gigs, for some inexplicable reason, are notoriously more lucrative than television deals. It's why Sean Hannity makes bank on his radio syndication deal, while his multimillion dollar deal with Fox News probably just covers his expenses.

Which means Beck's deal at FNC isn't going to pay pennies — we'll guess in the mid 7-figure range per year — but talk radio is still where the cash is.

Have you even listened to him? He blasts the Republicans (including Bush) as well as the Dems. He offers not only commen sense, but also humor which is lacking in many of the other radio shows (for both sides).

Thank God and good riddance!

Glenn Beck annoys me no end with the style of his delivery: Blah blah blah *smirk* blah blah *twitch* blah blah *wild gesture* blah blah *eye roll* blah blah blah blah *off-camera glance* blah blah blah *twitch* BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH *convulse* blah blah *smirk*…

I can't watch him long enough anymore to scoff derisively at his asinine opinions.

Regis and D - if you don't like it turn the fucking channel you morons. Of course you want to live stream Obama propaganda 24/7, but the instant there is a dissenting opinion you go on the attack.

Typical of Obama drones that can't have an original thought without da man telling you what to think!

Fuck Obama, Fuck Michelle the Cunt and Fuck You!

Jim,

I said: "I can't watch him long enough anymore to scoff derisively at his asinine opinions."

What part of that sentence indicates to you that I DON’T turn the channel?

Reading comprehension is not high on the list of your wonderful qualities I see.

I won't speak for Regis, (Barack)Obama or Michelle(Obama), but rest assured - someone with your lack of intelligence and even greater lack of class would never have a chance of f*****g me.

I think you that should head on over to the Fox News site. I'm sure that your soul mate awaits you there, mouth breathing in anticipation. (Okay, the mouth breathing is all the time, but I'm sure the anticipation is just for you.)
