This Glenn Beck yahoo that has a show on cable TV in which he uses the entire time venting, yelling, and trying to insult as many people as he can. He is so against anybody doing anything positive to the environment and is against taking care of the environment. He is nothing more than a piece of propaganda hired to scream insane disinformed rants.

Glenn Beck is first and foremost a "entertainer," he services ratings before ideals.

Another reason CNN is in the toilet. GB is not entertaining, but rather annoying. Terrible program, what was CNN thinking?

i listen to his radio show quite regularly. i dont think hes too bad of a guy he dosent scream and hurt feelings on his radio show. ive never seen his tv show.

I too listen to his radio show, pretty much daily. At first I was not a big fan of him at all. Even today he is not my favorite or anything, but I respect him greatly. He is compassionate and does generally focus on social issues of importance. He has a refreshing attitude for his job in my opinion. As others have stated, he does not claim to be a journalist. He doesn't make outrageous claims to have talent from god, or to be always right or the smartest or anything like the other talk show hosts.

He is a humble man who is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, and has trouble dealing with life just like everyone else. My whole point is, if you take a minute to listen a little more closely to what he has to say, you might realize he is not what you thought. However I have never seen his T.V. show, so I have no idea if he presents himself differently on that program.

A side note: When is the last time you were driving in your car, crying with the the guy talking on the radio? This man is not afraid to put out his most vulnerable side for the benefit of his listeners ( or ratings, I'm not dumb). That is not something I can claim to share with any other media person. Could you imagine Rush bawling on air? Haha yeah right.

I watch his show on CNN all the time. He's gets annoying with his lame jokes all the time and the "TERRORIST" fervor he constantly spews. He's not a disinfo agent, he's not a pawn, he's just your average, middle age, religious, white guy. He's scared just like the rest of them. I tend to agree with him 100% on his viewpoints on common morality although our political stance couldn't be more opposite.

The guy is a reformed alcoholic...that being said, Some move on and "re-invest" in the real world. Some decide to let that barrier they just breached control the rest of thier lives....
He learned how to make money out of it,... thats all...

I happen to like listening to Glenn Becks radio show, I've always thought that he was very entertaining, informative and at times he can make some very hilarious comments.
What I find really funny is how the Liberal minded people in the media and the Democratic lawmakers constantly lash out at these conservative talk show hosts, like Glenn, Rush and Hannity and constantly whine how they should not be on the air.
I cant count how many times ive heard one of them bring up the "fairness doctrine" but what these idiots dont understand is these arent journalists or media personnel, they are just entertainers that have a show thats based on their opinions, not necessarily facts.
Theyre just pissed because every time they try to get a liberal radio host on the air with his own show, they end up being total failures, EVERY TIME
They try to blame that on people like Rush to but they just cant except the fact that they SUCK

I have no problem with Beck. The show he did on " The Perfect Day" was very good.

As much as I watch his show and the equal values of our moral standard are concerned, I thought that segment was RIDICULOUS! What a bunch of nonsense! I think that was his worst attempt at fear mongering/rating gathering that I've ever seen or heard from him.

He does have amazing programs about social blackmarks like Vick, Benot, and the creep pedophile that made videos on where to find "little ones." He burned ALL of them. Politically, we hate eachother. Morally, we'd go to war together.

Oh and to the statement above about him making money off his trouble with alcoholism is a JOKE. He's just an average American male. He had a problem that many people we know do, he's not capitalizing on it by any means.

"I used to be an alcoholic!"

'Here's money'

"Yay."

Not how it works.

I have a thread on " The Perfect Day" and did some research on it, I think it has merit.

I agree with this, Nobody should ever give their life up for whatever God they believe in. God could take their life if he wanted.

However, changing your life to not follow your principles and what you hold dear is not living, so if you are forced to chose between renouncing your beliefs, beliefs guarenteed by freedom, then you can instead chose to stand, and there have always been times in history when this was a bit risky.

Does that make sence?

I believe God will protect those he choses, how can a person do the good work if he is not around anymore, but I also believe the enemy uses fear, including the fear of death to get others to submit.

So do not give up your life, instead defend your life by being willing to risk it for what you hold true. Not in violence but in light and truth.

Glenn Beck is mostly terrible but I force myself to listen to his radio broadcasts often because his cro-magnon viewpoints are tempered by his great sense of humor. Furthermore, every now and then he does make a good point.

Everyone should listen to Glenn Beck, even if they have to force themselves to do so. Don't even waste your time calling in, however, I get the distinct impression he almost always only fields calls from people who agree with him.
