Glenn Beck is the hottest multi-media talent today. His January 19 inaugural broadcast on the Fox News Channel rated second among all cable shows, following only perennial front-runner Bill O’Reilly.[FONT="] [/FONT]
Beck’s nationally syndicated radio program has the third most listeners in America, while he’s had successive books reach No.1 on the
New York Times bestseller list. Beck even publishes a monthly magazine, and does yearly stage shows that crisscross the country to soldout audiences.
To his credit, Beck is an ardent
corporate comedy proponent of smaller government, lower taxes, and is highly suspicious of the two-party Republican-Democratic machine that strangles our political system. He also adamantly opposes illegal immigration and the socialist-style bailouts that have been
VIOPchampioned by Presidents Bush and Obama. Furthermore, Beck periodically gives Texas Rep. Ron Paul a forum, while most mainstream talking heads avoid him.
Patriots may see Beck as one of the few glimmering rays of hope in an otherwise stagnant pool of media disinformation that is undermining our country. Looks can be deceiving, and Beck is performing a serious disservice to his audiences on four primary fronts.
