I'm not so sure.
Is there really a boycott of Glenn Beck?
Looks like a lot of the companies are not actually boycotting anyone. Plus, some of the companies are being impartial and yanking themselves off of all the controversial shows on all the news networks. With a shrinking market share, this hurts the Olbermanns and Maddows more than it does the Becks.

It's all good then. I'm sure Beck didn't offend anyone at all LOL.

Glen Beck is a real weird O, I hate it when his lips begin to quiver when he talks about how he perceives the country’s problems, he uses way too much theatrics’. It is obvious he is at the very least controlled by the Insurance industry because of his view on Obama's attempt to give everyone health insurance. It’s too bad I used to like his program until he felt the need to tell the world he was Mormon and that he is an alcoholic, like anyone really cares.

That same comment helped get Kanye West on the cover of Rolling Stone. I'm not defending it either way, but the outcomes are different, aren't they?

Lep: But do you research the information he presents in an honest unbiased way? Do you even consider that some of what he is telling you is based in fact? Do you follow up with your own research? Or, do you just see his "TV Personality" and paint him with your own personal prejudices, and assume something because of them?

He was on Fox while I was at the gym this morning. Does anyone have any facts on Van Jones?
Sounds pretty bad to me, and now he is a Czar, unaccountable to anyone but the President, while half the positions that are subject to Congressional approval remain unfilled.

This sounds like a "shadow government" indeed.
