Anyhow, it is or was only a rumor that was in The New York TImes. Put whatever credence you want in that. Obvioulsly, Glenn Beck is not going to end up on food stamps. He could probably buy the entire Villages and still have some money leftover.
Say what you want about the man but he found his niche and parlayed it into a mega-fortune. American dream come true for him.

When you post on a political forum, here or anywhere, and you allude to something as a FACT, you sort of have an inherent obligation to validate that with a link so others can read it and put it into perspective. That is just plain common sense.
This is what you posted...
"I was just reading that Fox probably will not be renewing Glenn Beck's contract which expires in December."
You posted that as a
FACT and it is
not and you never ever read that in the NY Times or elsewhere. The closest to that is an EDITORIAL that mentions the rumor of him beginning his own network and that old "unamed" person said they are looking as to what it would be like with him on the air. THATS IT.
It was NEVER a fact as you reported it. It was simply a lie fostered by you to have some opportunity to throw stones at the network and Mr Beck.
In order to have political discussion of any kind, you have to rely on people to be honest and forthright. You just cannot make things up and report them as facts. You can have an axe to grind with networks or whomever you want, but posting things that are just made up by YOU is not something that should be allowed or tolerated.
PS: There have been problems with Fox and Beck for sure, reported in the news but also great joy in his ratings. I just would love to see HONEST discussion on here....and not made up news stories. Even the far left sites have not said what you reported as fact.
