From Denny: Did any of us think the long rambling weird reign of foul-mouthed Glenn Beck would ever stop? Well, even FOX News has had enough and told him last week his show was canceled. He will depart the end of the year when his contract ends. Well, it never was real news, just imagined news.
For months comics have lampooned Beck's messianic Hitler style attitude and declarations. Well, even Beck's fans began to evaporate. Turns out in January his fan base began dwindling. Originally, at the height of his nightly viewership was clocked at about three million.
A show on a network has to top well over seven million to stay on the air. Well, by January, Beck's viewership was down by one million. It was amazing that two million people tuned into to listen to his strange - and often violent - ramblings. It does make you wonder if Beck helped destabilize millions of other people, causing them to tip over the edge to insanity.
It was incredible the top notch advertisers on this show - big names like GE, BMW, various Big Banks, you name them. So why did Beck suddenly lose 30 percent of his advertisers in one quick sweep? Why did Beck lose 30 percent of his viewership in just one month? Why is Beck continuing to bleed viewers and advertisers at the rate of about 5 percent erosion a month?
