FOX Won't Fire Glenn Beck: Here's Why.
BUZZFLASH EDITOR'S BLOG
By Mark Karlin
Glenn Beck is here to stay -- as far as Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are concerned -- far into the future. It would take an abrupt end to the largely FOX-led right wing hysteria to disappear before you will see Beck canned. And that won't be happening anytime in the forseeable future.
That's due to many reasons. I'll try to enumerate a few:
- Beck is becoming an increasingly key factor in inciting the hateful mobs, and his seemingly crazed incivility and jaw-dropping antics that we find abhorrent are exactly what FOX finds valuable in him. He's breaking away with record audiences in a non-prime time spot, rising recently to surpass Hannity's audience. In fact the brilliant boycott led by ColorofChange.org is giving him more publicity and driving more confused, television-fed simple minded white Americans to his program.
- FOX will carry Beck indefinitely with small time ads -- even ads for FOX divisions as they are doing now -- because: 1) they hope to eventually shift other FOX advertisers to his program; 2) they hope that some of the more than 30 companies now not advertising will come back when the heat dies down; 3) FOX would lose credibility with its entire red meat audience if it backed down from a fight; 4) it would make FOX vulnerable to boycotts in regards to its entire propaganda network programming; and 5) Beck is doing exactly what FOX wants him to do, which is distract the confused white masses from blaming corporations for their economic plight to blaming scapegoats -- in this case non-whites.
- FOX is Rupert Murdoch's main vehicle for ensuring the continued and unquestioned greed of the corporate ruling class, and Beck is the most successful gutter carnival barker in terms of churning up hateful and igniting emotions that they have. He touches something so evil and primal in the chronically confused and white-firsters that he makes Hannity appear civil. Beck is a strategic thespian of both the most skilled and basest sort: this makes him a star to FOX, not a pariah.
- As BuzzFlash has noted many a time, Naomi Klein many years ago awoke us to the concept that many big corporate advertisers back the right wing media shills to insure that the heat for fleecing the American economy is diverted to blaming the government, liberals, minorities and immigrants. Many top advertisers are not so much selling products through advertising as they are financing a political strategy of diversion through the winger media megaphone. FOX understands this and knows that eventually it will find companies that are not as consumer-oriented to "advertise" on Beck's program, because they are buying insurance on using mobs and creating a "frame" that stops legislation that would impede their gross profiteering and abandonment of the American worker.
ColorofChange.org has been brilliant in executing its boycott. If nothing else, it lets consumer-dependent corporations know that "a silent majority" of the nation will no longer be silent. But it also requires the people who sign petitions and make calls to actually boycott these companies. BuzzFlash can assure you that the Beck advertisers who have temporarily pulled out are looking at how effective the calls for a boycott have been in actually decreasing sales or canceling policies.
But furthermore, we return to the game plan that has been essential in making the right wing control the frame of the political debate in America for decades; utilizing mass media to create artificial, false "truths" that take hold in the public mind and even in the outlook of the mainstream media.
A recent article on the Air America website noted that many large corporations "boycott" Air America for political reasons, while supporting right wing programming:
Three years ago, a group of corporate advertisers informed ABC that they didn't want their commercials run during Air America programming. Media Matters reports that those companies will run ads during conservative shows.
In 2009, General Electric, Farmer's Insurance and Office Depot have financially supported Glenn Beck's racism and threats against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the radio; Bayer, Chattem Pharmaceuticals and Wyeth have given Lou Dobbs money to continue his radio-based support for the Birther conspiracy theorists and his portrayal of the current Administration as alternately Socialist, Fascist and Communist; and Home Depot, JC Penney's and Office Depot are helping provide Rush Limbaugh promote his racist, divisive commentary on a daily basis.
If ColorofChange.org were to create enough economic denting into the sales of companies that support right wing media, they might pull some companies off all political programming. But that would take a massive uprising of people who would follow through on financially, not just verbally, boycotting a corporation. And for companies of these sizes, you need an enormous commitment to not buy products or to cancel policies, enormous.
Beck has been engaged in insurrection activities and incitement of the most bizarre -- but effective for his audience -- actions for some time. He crossed the mainstream media line when he went from coded exhortations to actually calling President Obama a racist. For that, ColorofChange started the "boycott" and FOX allegedly asked Beck to go on vacation for a week so things could "cool down."
FOX won't be firing Beck. He's a key player on their team of protecting corporate rule through playing the Pied Piper and leading the misinformed off the cliffs while the companies pickpocket them.
ColorofChange.org did the correct and exciting thing, but nothing has changed FOX's influence yet. The criticisms from the likes of Media Matters make us feel better and vindicated, but they just feed FOX's growth (and FOX "News" is way up this year in viewership). FOX could care less what Media Matters says, as long as the FOX "News" audience is growing, not contracting -- and it is growing.
FOX will take the economic hit on Glenn Beck for awhile. It's the price to pay for pulling the strings in Washington by keeping the Americans who are fleeced and economically in peril in ignorance and providing them with scapegoats through savvy television entertainers who know how to turn on the faucets of hate.
Sorry, but Glenn Beck's audience is increasing, and he'll likely be promoted to a prime time spot.
Right now he's not going anywhere, except for a big increase in his salary when his contract is up.
He's serving his employers well.

How a property buyers agent saves you time and money?
Unlike a selling agent, a property buyers agent acts exclusively and independently for a property buyer.

And if you are unsure of what to look for or simply don’t have the time, a buyers agent will inspect and short list suitable properties for you. A buyers agent is able to look for property in a wide range of locations from various different sources, unlike a selling agent who works in a specific area. They will also negotiate the best purchase price for you and ensure that the process of selecting and purchasing a property right through until settlement is a smooth and hassle free experience.
With offices in Sydney and Brisbane, Prosper Group are the Australian property buyers agents of choice for busy professionals.

More people are watching
More people are watching Beck for the same reason they slow down for a good look at a highway car wreck.
Simple as that.
Boycott
Oldwoman has a good idea. Boycott all the medical establishments, the stores, the businesses that run Fox TV. Maybe the decrease in customers would help to rid ourselves of this public nuisance of being intruded upon when we venture out to take care of our personal affairs.
Is Fox Prepared to Lose Millions More Ad Dollars Over Beck?
So Fox News Channel won't fire Glenn Beck -- no matter how much advertiser money continues to hemmorage from his show.
The perhaps it's time to expand the ad boycott to the ENTIRE FOX NETWORK -- Especially since Fox is now parent News Corp.'s ONLY moneymaker. The rest of the Murdoch media empire, particularly its newspapers, is drowning in an ocean of red ink, dragging News Corp.'s overall profits and stock price down, down, down.
Money talks and B.S. walks. Starve News Corp. of advertiser money!

As we speak, Emanuel is...
As we speak, Rahm Emanuel is PURGING as many anti-war Democrats from high positions as he possibly can. He is trying to cast Likudnik-lite ARLEN SPECTRE as a "Liberal Democrat" isn't that precious.
Emanuel & the Goldman-Sachs Likudniks DO NOT WANT us Americans to know just how many BILLIONS of OUR Taxpayer dollars have gone to "bail out" Wall Street.
They - the Emanuel White House - have done a DAMN GOOD JOB of WHITEWASHING Bush Co's GESTAPO TORTURE. (Call it what you will, I believe the term "GESTAPO torture" shines a bright light on what it really is.)
Oh yeah - and last year Right-Wing HATE RADIO INSPIRED GUNMEN SHOT & KILLED first Arkansas Dem. Party Chairman BILL GWATNEY, and another GUNMAN stomped into a Tennessee Church with INTENT TO SHOOT & KILL EVERYONE in there.
THAT was LAST year. THIS YEAR, we have had THE HOLOCAUST MURDER, AND the ASSASSINATION of Dr. George Tiller, shot in his Kansas church.
AS I SAID, the ONLY REASON the __DEMOCRAT PARTY__ does not EXPRESS OUTRAGE as these BROWN SHIRT CRIMES OF MURDER and POLITICAL TERRORISM, is because the LIKUDNIK WING of the "Democrat" Party is ALLIED WITH the RIGHT-WING HATE-SPEWING TALKERS, including GLENN BECK, BILL O'REILLY, RUSH LIMBAUGH, SEAN HANNITY, and MICHAEL SAVAGE - all of whom support the US WARS OVERSEAS.
THAT's MY take.
NOW YOU come up with a reason why the "DEMOCRATIC PARTY" is IGNORING FOUR VIOLENT RIGHT-WING GUNMEN-MURDERS in the past 20-odd months - AND GET BACK TO ME why it is apparently TOO MUCH TO ASK our "Democrat" "leaders" TO PRETEND TO NOTICE THIS WAVE OF BROWN-SHIRT TERROR & MURDER !!!!
(and btw, I appreciated Prime Minister Rabin's efforts for peace before he was assassinated by the Likud Right-Wing; I prayed for Senator Wellstone to survive the Bush-Rove-Cheney smear machine, I listend to Al Franken from the first day of his Air-America show (and saw him live in person, and donated to his 2008 campaign)
Oh - and if DICK CHENEY KNEW that the 9-11 hijackers were coming (here, CIA Director George Tenet WENT IN PERSON to WARN the White House of a LOOMING Al QAIDA TERROR THREAT - IN the United States - on JULY 10, 2001... http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/03/washington/03rivals.html
and whadda ya know, just over 14 days later, Attorney General Ashcroft gets his very own PRIVATE CHARTER JET, citing a "THREAT ASSESSMENT" - the better to keep his precious behind OUT of the line of fire should any of those nasty terrarists Mr. Tenet was warning about actually storm a US airliner with Mr. Ashcroft on it.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/26/national/main303601.shtml
And, yes.. if Dick Cheney knew the Al Qaida gang was coming, so too did Mossad.
Yep
Always thought of the right when I thought about racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, etc., but there is a streak of anti-Semitism among some on the left. Veritas doesn't even make much of an attempt to disguise it.
Hopefully, it's just a very, tiny segment.
In reply to Veritas -- Likudnik Conspiracy?
So it's all the fault of the Jooos! And I can only assume that you know that 4000 Israeli workers stayed away from the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. It was all just a Zionist Plot (by those crypto-Likudnik "Elders of Zion", you know!) to get the US to bleed its armed forces, so that Israeli boys wouldn't have to die to take over the Middle East. And we all know that the Iranians have no intention of ever USING nuclear weapons. They just need them for their national pride, or as a deterrent against Israeli agression with THEIR nukes.
No, you're not an anti-Semite at all. It's just that you, along with all those progressives like Ahmedinijad, Assad, Nasrallah and Saudi Arabia's Abdallah don't like Jews who aren't ready to commit national suicide. After all, why shouldn't "those people" just accept inaccurate missle fire. It only kills a few people! Not like those Jewish war-criminal Nazis who murder the innocent Gazan civillians who can't hit what they aim at anyway! And threats of nuclear annihilation --Nobody can take THAT seriously! It would be suicidal! Really, now! When did anybody in the Middle East ever commit suicide just to be able to blow up somebody he didn't agree with?

Glenn Beck should be required viewing for all remaining Moderate, Centrist, Bi-Partisan, Wimp-Trained, Sellout, Compromising, so-called Democrats and so-called reasonable Republicans.
MONEY OVER NEWS
Simple reason they won't fire him:
Profits are their only motive. News is secondary... if there's even any real news at all.
Glenn Beck
I must take issue with your comments. First of all, if you actually listened to Mr. Beck you would certainly be aware that he acknowledges big business is behind the game plan that is being played out in Washington. He has been reporting this prior to the Obama administration, so please quit trying to make this into a race war. It is clearly not about race.
I would also like to know where and when the picture of the people in the white hoods was taken. Certainly if these were/are followers of Mr. Beck, you should have no problem in providing the day/date/time/location of the picture.
As for followers of Mr. Beck being 'confused, television-fed simple minded white Americans', I find it rather interesting that most of the 'progressives' that I personally know, rarely even watch/read/or even listen to any news from any station. Most of them obtain their news from soundbytes from Keith Olberman, Bill Mahr or some other 'anchorman/comedian'.
Both the democrats and republicans are to blame for our current situation. Our economy has tanked, even though the 'news' reports that jobless claims have decreased last month. Open your eyes: Look around you: Do you see any new businesses opening up? Any of your friends 'get a job' other than flipping burgers at the local Mickey D's? Let's talk manufacturing, oh yes, wait a minute, that occurs in China and Mexico. Auto industry? Lucky for us that our government is running the auto industry. Oh wait a minute, these are the same people who can't run the Post Office, Medicare is bankrupt and riled with fraud and abuse, Social Security is on it's last leg.
Can one of you 'progressives' please SHOW me how having the government run something CAN actually work?
For the record, I've been a democrat most of my life, voted as a republican a few times too. Did NOT vote for GWB or McCain. So please feel free to write an intelligent letter, without name calling (seems like you progressives LOVE to do that) and give me the facts, just the facts.
Thank you,
Jan
Dear Jan
"Can one of you 'progressives' please SHOW me how having the government run something CAN actually work?"
Your smug, childish, errant dismissiveness tests whether I can prevent myself from calling you an asshole; I cannot NOT regard you as one.
Examples: The FAA. the Interstate Hiway System. The Fire Department. The Post Office (before they gave it away to UPS/FedEx). NIH. Social Security. NOAA. The Coast Guard. NASA.
There were any number of effective bureaucracies before that flaming fuck Bush and his fascist minions got in there and fucke d 'em all up with their poltical cronies.
And no, finally I find I cannot withstand the temptation--nay, the impingent intellectual demand--to call you an asshole, you petulant little fucknozzle......
