In the short term, he's neutered. And nobody thought Glen Beck was going away until he did.

He's a bile spewing 60-year-old. The conservative power players have been trying to find replacements for him for some time now. He's run the Republican party off a cliff and his situation is much more tenuous than you believe.

if he and Clear Channel don't get in front of this, THIS week (like by Wed)...things will go south. but as of right now... - Remlik Mar 4, 17:08
I was just about to post exactly this. - Reagen Mar 4, 16:56 12
- Rush's audience is a multiple of Beck's and his fans are more loyal. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:02 7
  - Man, I hope he goes satellite. He'd cut his listener base to pieces. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 17:04 6
    - But if I was Siruis I'd at least try. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:09 4
      - Is Siruis even viable anymore? - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:12 3
        
        Sirius and XM merged, yes. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:16 2
        
        Hmmmm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:16 1
        
        Not sure, but they are actually making a profit (which I did not realize) and improved their cash position. - ty97 Mar 4, 17:21
    - Yeah, I think even Howard Stern found out that you may have rabid fans but most won't follow you to pay radio. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:06

- Rush's Aud -- nm - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:00
- I really do want to re-visit this in one, three, six months and see how his advertising dollars are doing. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:58 1
  - Yup. Listeners will stay and the ad dollars will flow back as soon as everyone moves on. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 4, 17:26
Glenn Beck didn't go away, he change mediums. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:54 7
- Glenn Beck was shown the door at his network within a year of the March on DC stuff... - Will Hunting Mar 4, 17:09
- Beck's change of medium made him go away. he is nothing now -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 16:57
- Then we disagree on the usage of neuter, because Beck is a eunuch at the moment. -- nm - David Mar 4, 16:55 4
  - marginalized -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 16:59
  - like, when's the last time anyone's even bothered to mock him? -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 16:58 2
    - I miss the Daily Show mockings of him. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 4, 17:02 1
      - at this point it'd be like kicking a puppy. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:17
