At the rate his advertisers are jumping ship, he will take care of his own demise.

No. In fact I hope that they find other Glenn Becks and replace everyone with a Glenn Beck clone.

I hope he's the straw that breaks the camel's back.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We like Glenn Beck. The posterboy for rightwing, xian, republican stupidity. He should be encouraged more, and besides he's always good for a laugh...

Faux News is a pathetic circus, and Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly are the sideshow freaks. It's appalling that these obviously pathological people are given a platform to spew their insanity and hate, but they contain the seeds of their own destruction. Yes, there are the Republican mouth-breathers who gobble up their spew, but to reasonable people, they're not at all convincing; they're ignorant and abusive.

Should Fox fire Glenn Beck? Sure, but out of a compassion for the mentally ill that they don't possess. Fox is the sickness. Beck is a symptom. To those similarly afflicted, he's a guide star. To everyone else, he's a searing pustule.

Fox should fire itself.

Heh, everyone hates Fox...

... finally I've found a place of rationality.

Fox news is pathetic. If the paparazzi were hard hitting journalists, then Fox would be news.
Every time I see something posted from Fox, it's ALWAYS lacking information, and is simply flooded with the anchors opinion.

I find more information in random conversations on the street.

Personally I think fox news should be sued for false advertising every time they apply the word "news" to themselves.

Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right should be mandatory reading for all Fox News viewers.

@Jason,
"To everyone else, he's a searing pustule." I'm wondering just where that pustule might be located?

I'm of 2 minds. On the one hand, the Fox circus would derive some credibility, in some minds, by firing Mr. Pustule.

On the other hand, I'm completely against giving Mr. Pustule an ongoing forum of hate. If fired, at least there would be one less of him, and it might be an example to some of the other members of the Pustule family that they need to tone down their pus.

So I'm for firing him. Plus, it would be nice to see him cry.

I have to admit, I've never watched him.
