So there is this speculation now that Glen Beck will be leaving Fox and starting his own media empire. It's true, he is very popular with the Fox News viewers. Pundits talk about how this will fail because there are some 400 advertisers who have pledged to not give him any money. Although I heard one opinion today that stated Glen wants to leave because he feels restrained at Fox. And that if he were on his own, he would say even crazier s#1t. There may be some fringe groups that would be willing to give him their advertising dollars (the KKK, Orly Taitz, etc). So he may get advertisers.
But he won't get viewers. Glen's audience is the Fox News watchers. And studies have shown that most of the people who watch Fox only watch Fox. They do not change the channel. They will not leave the drone of the echo chamber to check in with their old friend Glen. So leave at your own peril. But please, do leave.
