Glenn Beck

I'd just like to start off by saying that CNN is a news network. It's a 24-hour cable news station. You watch CNN to watch the news.

This is where I feel the trouble begins. If I wanted a show like "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Report," I would watch Comedy Central.

Mixing news and satire is risky. Riskier more, I would say, for CNN than for Comedy Central.

However, passing off mediocre entertainment news on CNN is sort of like mixing oil and water. To top it all off, I just don't think Glenn Beck is funny. I suppose it's just my opinion, but I know for a fact I'm not the only one.

Merriam-Webster defines "abysmal" as an adjective:

a : having immense or fathomless extension downward, backward, or inward "an abysmal cliff" b : immeasurably great "abysmal ignorance" c : immeasurably low or wretched "abysmal living conditions of the poor"

I suppose that if I want entertainment news, I'll watch Comedy Central.

Been a fan of Glenn's ever since his Philadelphia days. He had this way of making you think and laugh at the same time. I have to admit that when I started watching him on TV, I was disappointed. The show sucked! Sorry Glenn... Lately however, he's grown into it and it's no longer embarrassing to watch him as it was on premiere broadcast.

However, lately, it's mostly been doom and gloom. Glenn was really good at his job, anyone remember the time he "killed a puppy" live on the air? But that's missing lately. Nowadays he doesn't have that annoyingly innocent charm he used to. He's too... serious... while ironically not taking his comedy and entertainment seriously.

If he went back to the old days of comedy and less politics, he'd be able to beat out O'Reilly in the ratings. He's already on the way of doing that, but it's taking him longer than necessary, in my opinion.

It is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

The only word the other person forgot to add from the a category is awesome and that is what it truly is.

It is not the parent's cable news show with a person on the right vs. a person on the left they just argue for the point of arguing. It is more about people discussing issues and if there are debates it is about what is right and what is wrong not what helps a political party.

If you are a Glenn Beck Fan this show is for you. It is not your typical cable news show. It is different because it discusses everything from pop culture to Iran to Glenn's famous pink ties. If you are a sick freak (fan of the Glenn Beck show) this show is for you.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.

Not everyone will like Glenn Beck. Not everyone will get his style of humor. But this show IS different. The news is real news, but there is comedy as well. Glenn is a goof-ball. He can be very lame. But that is also why many people love him. He's not condescending. You get a feeling of honesty from him and also the knowledge that while he's very opinionated on some things and is clear about his ideological leanings, he's also humble. Although he's not afraid of being silly and making a joke (like many other of his "cohorts" as well), he's also not afraid of being vulnerable and authentic.

If you refuse to watch because you differ from him ideologically, you will be missing out. If you refuse to watch because you just can't stand watching a guy that authentic & goofy on TV, then I guess that's your taste. But I would recommend that everybody give it at least a couple of episodes and see if you don't love Glenn too.

This guy reeks of desperation in every syllable. He just tries too hard. Nor is he particularly bright. His blinking stare betrays slight fear and a perpetual slight bafflement at the world.

Strikes me as nothing so much as American suburban trailer trash that made good and doesn't quite know how to handle it.

Wouldn't know an honest personal conviction if it stole his John Deere polyester wallet; all his "views are transparently expedient attention-grabbers with little thought to the consequences of foisting them upon the public.

His exchange with Erica Hill was the crowning "glory": (search aliberaldose.blogspot.com with the word assclown to see it)

Trust me; like his plummeting ratings, it's all downhill from there....
