Fox To Glenn Beck: You Left To Save Your Ass, Not Your Soul

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on April 29, 2013 · Flag

In case you missed it, Glenn Beck said last week that he left Fox News in order to save his soul, suggesting that Roger Ailes wanted him to stay. Today, Fox unequivocally challenged that. Politico received an email from a Fox News spokesman saying: Glenn Beck wasn't trying to save his soul, he was trying to save his ass. Advertisers fled his show and even Glenn knows what that means in our industry. Yet, we still tried to give him a soft landing. Guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Media Matters did the math and confirmed that the number of paid advertisements during Glenn Beck's show plummeted and never recovered as a result of grassroots efforts to get him off the air. Fox's current position is especially interesting given that, as Media Matters also noted, Rupert Murdoch previously denied that Beck lost any significant number of advertisers.

Who to believe?
A network who hires a pathological liar to entertain there viewers with FauxNews propaganda, oooooorrrrr, the lying propagandist who took the ball and ran with it, but obviously went to far when it started costing the network advertising dollars(and any dignity)?
Neither have any journalistic integrity.
Neither give a damn about “facts.”
Neither care about the damage they cause to everyday average people by misinforming them about virtually every topic they cover.
What’s worse-A guy who says “buy more gold and survival seeds” or a network that “used to” say “buy more Glenn Beck.”

When the Beckerhead, left the Fox Circus (let go),Bile dropped him like a hot potato and replaced him with the ungodly and unfunny Miller from his propaganda sideshow, “Fresh and Bold”,which is ,neither Bold and certainly not Fresh,when you consider who the two Clowns are running the show
The only time the Beckerhead will be invited to Bile’s program now is when Bile needs to inject a dose of B.S
into his dwindling Fan club members to show how intelligent and informed he is.

Becktard was an infected hemorrhoid on the asshole that is Fux Noise. Once the advertisers left Becktard, Fux had to excise him.

The Beck vs. Fox “News” feud puts Billy in an uncomfortable position. Will Billy turn against Beck to please Nixon trainee Roger Ailes? Of course he will. Billy is out for Billy. Sorry Beck.

The invites to appear on Billy’s program may be short-lived. The Fox “News” executives were highly offended that Beck dissed them in public.

And this comes in the wake of a Twit(ter) fight between The Combover and Ms. Maglalang:

Good deeds going unpunished? Not in your shark tank they don’t.

This one is escalating fast. Stunt or no, Beck will take it too far within the next few days. He doesn’t have the restraint to keep it within anything resembling reason.

Apparently, Fox doesn't remember the break up quite the way Beck remembers it.
