Sad!
After conservative pundit Glenn Beck was suspended from SiriusXM radio
on Tuesday, The Blaze founder responded by tweeting guest columns
calling the satellite radio execs “cowards” and the decision to
temporarily pull him off air “suppression of dissenting voices.”
…
Hey Glenn, burning bridges before you cross 'em isn’t good business sense. Keep it up and nobody will want to hire you.
Free Speech ain’t exactly free.
If there is anything good at all to come out of this Trump candidacy cancer, it is the massive conflict, perhaps irretrievable, within the right wing. And, to be sure, the recognition by more and more people who perhaps had not realized it or been exposed to it, just how malignantly the right wing is infected with utter madness, evil and bigotry.
Did he cry when he announced this?
That’s right Glenn, you let them radio execs know in no uncertain terms that you are not a good risk for broadcast. Then, retire to your model conservative community and cattle ranch scams and pass into obscurity…until you inevitably come up on fraud charges and serve as our mocking boy once again.
Yah right…They’re cowards because they don’t let a guy with a lit match in the ship’s Magazine.
Beck is an addicted media prostitute - willing to turn any trick just to keep getting a media showcase fix.
He is in a downward cascade - having to be more & more outrageous just to get what is becoming less and less attention.
May the right continue eating each other.
To be fair he’s right they are cowards.
FOX keeps people on the air who threaten to kill President Obama all the time. Now, because its Trump, executives have to care? I dont understand.
once again… the party of ‘personal responsibility’ lays the blame on someone other…
Sorry, he was out of VapoRub, so no tears.
Keep at it Glenn, but I really can’t figure why you nut jobs are so anti-dRumpf. You are practically mirror images.
Except for the money, duh.
Last I read, his companies are hemorrhaging cash. This may be a gambit to try and raise funds from his “followers” before he goes bust. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/28/40-layoffs-as-glenn-beck-s-blaze-empire-continues-its-decline-and-fall.html
there is an earlier article from the same site, circa Feb 2016
“For the past several months, Glenn has warned his audience, and anyone else willing to listen, that the current political climate is worse than anything he has ever witnessed or studied in American history,” he wrote.
For the past several years Beck has been a major contributor to that climate. Even FOX saw that.
Huh. Maybe they’re the same on the money, too!
Seriously, though, a guest on the program said something out of line. Sirius doesn’t have a policy to edit live feeds. I’m not entirely sure how they’re holding Beck responsible for something someone else said, via a medium that sells itself on not censoring the content. If Sirius had said ‘Glenn, don’t bring that guy back’, that would’ve been a reasonable reaction.
And they had to anticipate this kind of reaction from people like Erick, Son of Erick. It’s notable that while Beck may have RT’d links to the pieces (Let’s face it, you don’t “tweet” an entire column), he didn’t pen any of them. He can spin this as saying that he was just pointing out people supporting him, as a thank you.
So Sirius suspending him for a week? This may be a move he and Sirius had agreed on in advance as a way to generate interest in the show. He gets a week off, then they get increased interest when he returns from ‘suspension’. That’s pretty much the only scenario I see that makes any sense here. If this isn’t a PR stunt, then… I really feel dirty saying this, but I have to agree with Erick^2 there: this is a pretty fucking spineless move by Sirius execs in response to something said by a guy who isn’t the person they suspended.
I want to know why this idiot is on siriusxm in the first place.
I certainly hope that NONE of my subscription fees are going to this idiots salary!
I pay for music, not right wing blow-holery!
The most low-life, unpatriotic, unChristian, self-centered son of a bitches get so much media attention. The marriage of journalism and for profit news is a damned disaster for the political system. Jackasses rule!
