‘Glennpocalypse’: Stephen Colbert Readies Emergency ‘Beckpack’ in Case Glenn Leaves Fox News

It is no secret that whenever Stephen Colbert claims to a “big fan” of somebody, he’s setting himself up to absolutely rail on his target. In these instances, Colbert is like a giant truck, backing up to unload an enormous heap of scorn, though pleasantly delivered with his uniquely detached irony and absurdly amplified delivery. Take for example last night’s episode in which Colbert focused on Glenn Beck, and recent news that he might be on his way out at Fox News. Or as Colbert calls it, the looming “Glennpocalypse!”

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 9:03amThe real comedy is that those who dismiss Glenn as ‘nuts’ spend an awful lot of time talking about him. The normal thing to do is ignore a nutcase.
So, which is it, you liberals? Is Glenn psycho, or is he on to something? I mean, if Glenn is nuts like you liberals say, then why do you mention him all the time and come to this site? And you trolls fight hard here, spewing your venom like you do.
That tells me–by the way you trolls do things–that Glenn is on to something. You hate that, which is why you fight so hard.

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 12:13pmBlaze have you not reported news about Glenn that is News??? I have not heard that Glenn is planning to leave Fox, or that Fox is trying to get rid of Glenn. This is the first I have heard of it, and you have not said it is not true. Are you playing with us here, what is the truth?

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 12:28pmI said it 2 days ago. I don’t trust Fox anymore, O’Rielly turned and they would soon be shutting up Glenn.
Report Post »He will not be allowed to start his own network. I will be surprised if they give him 9 months. They will find a way to get rid of him before his contract is up.
I LOVE Glenn! He is my HERO!
NO one out there Loves our Precious Country or her people more than Him.
No one else cares about telling the people the TRUTH!
God Protect You Glenn! I will pray for you every day and night!!!

“Why would Beck leave Fox?””
Because he as well as Fox itself are hemorrhaging viewers. They’ve lost swathes of people to other stations.

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 1:50pmDawg: (By the way, you have to love that spelling “ability” you display — or lack of) Guess you couldn’t find enough excitement on the Huffington Post or Daily Koz web sites, hmm? The fact of the matter is that Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally brought close to a million — if not, more — to the event. I know, because I and many others were there with me. As much as they would love to succeed in skewing the numbers, fact is always rude to opinion. Unlike Colbert and Stewart’s “Rally to Promote Insanity”, the stats were not delusionally inflated by the media.
“During the [Rally to Restore Sanity], the hosts of Myth Busters (who warmed up the crowd) estimated the crowd at 150,000. CTV estimated the crowd to be over 250,000.”

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 8:50pmHe doesn’t want to leave, he’s going to get dumped because the network can’t make money on a show that nobody wants to sponsor. Did you ever see the Batman movie where the Joker burns the big pile of money in front of the gangsters? Well, Glenn is the Joker, Fox News is the gangsters, and the pile of money is what they lose by having a 5 pm show sponsored by shady gold dealers and crappy kitchen gadgets,

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 9:03pmA substantial part of Beck’s act, when he not talking about the end of the world, is mocking and ridiculing other people. So it’s ironic to me that anyone is surprised that Beck is on the receiving end of that same treatment, especially ironic considering the person dealing it out is a comedian.
But to the point: is Beck leaving FOX. I don’t have any inside information, but I think he will. My reasons? Here are a few that I’ve heard, and a few that are my opinions.
- As someone said, Beck‘s business model isn’t working. He’s an on air personality who has lost every major advertiser who could actually pay enough to make a profit for FOX. Please, the CEO‘s who are refusing to advertise on Beck aren’t liberals: these are businesses who recognize that name association with Beck is bad for business. You may love him, but major corporations know advertising on his show is poison. Good old capitalism!
Report Post »- Beck is at odds with FOX because he promotes his own businesses on his show. He promotes, for example, buying gold, which he profits from but not FOX.
- There are at least a few at FOX that realize having an evangelist, end-of-the-world prophet as one of their main stars tarnishes the FOX “fair and balanced” claim. That’s saying a lot for FOX.
- Also IMO, one of these days a Beck fan is going to walk into a building an slaughter innocent people that Beck has demonized. You probably don’t know someone already tried to do that at Tides but was stopped before they did that. Piven has received death threats. One of these days someone is going to go out in a blaze of glory, as the Tides guy planned to. And his market value is going to sink even lower.

Posted on April 5, 2011 at 9:35pmEverytime a contract is up for renegociation there is always a CHANCE that a renewal won’t occur… Do you really think FOX will turn down thier biggest money maker?? NO.
Even if everything he represents were wrong, everything he said a lie, he would still be renewed for one reason… RATINGS! So don’t sweat it… we still have Glenn!

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 6:28amThese folks never mention that any lost Beck has sustained is due almost entirely to a huge campaign by the left to destroy him. In that context and Beck is still commanding almost 2 million viewers. He’s doing pretty good.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 10:31amIt‘s amusing to see that people are STILL delusional enough to believe that not only did Beck’s rally have substantially more than Stewart’s, but it had a million or more. No realistic count of either rally was even close to that number. No, your ridiculous “DERP, I was there and I KNOW it was a million DERP!!!” anecdotal evidence does not mean anything whatsoever. The fact that you think that 1) simply being there makes your count more valid and 2) you think you know what a million people looks like FROM THE GROUND as opposed to those with years of experience counting crowds from the air shows that you have no grasp on reality.
It’s good to see the typical drum beaters are bleating the same lines; The media attacks Glenn because he’s bringing the truth! They fear him! They want to bring him down!!! GEORGE SOROS!!!!!
No. Most people view him for what he is; a joke. Sadly, if his audience was actually intelligent and did any research which, ironically, he pleads for them to do, they’d see he is frequently wrong, that he frequently misquotes his sources, and that he frequently flat out misrepresents information in order to spin stories in the worse possible light. He makes shotgun predictions, guessing 10 different outcomes, and then when even 1 of those comes partially true, he says “A-ha! See! I told you so!!!” while ignoring those other 9 which flopped… and his sheep eat it up and say “Oh wow! He’s right 95% of the time,” either because their memories are horrible or their math is.
But please, don’t let me stop you, you lil’ nutters! Keep on wearing those tin foil hats, believing that Obama is a Muslim and that everyone is out to take your guns away. Everyone else will be over here, focusing on the real issues.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 1:04pmIt’s been running on twitter like an out of control brush fire – “Beck to be pulled from FOX later this year.” As I read the tweets, I am laughing so hard my side hurts – he currently is outpacing ALL competition for the air time by more than 5-1. What a stupid theory that FOX would bite the hand that feeds them – they need Beck, he doesn’t need them – his multi-platform presence and status as a best selling author ensures he will be around for a very long time.
Ah, but the pundits are restless – one report, posted just a few minutes ago on Slate, mentioned that The Blaze site was down – still laughing – I’m here now, aren’t I? You fool, when a tweet such as this goes out, there are literally millions that would be interested. Logic tells me that traffic to the site would outpace bandwidth.
For what it is worth though, their wishfull thinking seems to surface about twice a year – I say, let ‘em go! Ratings increase each and every time. They think they have all the secrets – they really do not understand conservatives do they? Even with the revolt in November they don’t get it.
We are the silent MAJORITY and their rhetoric is ticking us off – at the ballot box…
