Glenn Beck

This is one strange show. Glenn's politics are a bit loony but unlike O'Reilly he doesn't take himself too seriously and especially unlike Savage doesn't have any self-righteousness. It's almost like they picked some eccentric religious conservative off the street and gave him a talk show. To even talk about Glenn's politics somewhat misses the point, however. The presentation of this show is just plain weird. Glenn says virtually everything completely off the cuff, often to a fault and is constantly self-deprecating. You'll laugh a lot when you watch this. More often than not you'll be laughing AT Glenn rather than with him, but he makes some good points from time to time. The one thing I can say for sure about this show is that you'll never be bored.

The only thing more inane than Beck are the people that would actually watch him.

Beck does absolutely no research on any topic that he discusses. It's all just stream of unconsciousness.

Oh, and the emotion...the phony tears and angst. I haven't seen a display like this since dad wouldn't give my little brother the car keys on Saturday night.

Now should we talk about the sponsor's that have run from this show because of his racist, bigoted comments? With Beck, the old axiom applies: The best part of him ran down the bulldogs leg.

Conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck is going to try and tackle the art of television. After watching the show for a couple of episodes, I found that Beck is very watchable. I am a big fan of his radio show, and I think he is becoming a T.V. star as well. He is, well, an entertainer. "Glenn Beck" however is a very interesting news show. Mixed with plenty of comedy, the show is more informative then Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show", or Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report". I believe that we have finally found a show that both liberals and conservatives can watch, and like. I hope that Beck can keep it up, and keep this show going for a couple of years.

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....

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.
