Glenn Beck to join Fox News next spring.
Michael Calderone reports that right-wing talker Glenn Beck is leaving CNN and joining Fox News. “Beginning next spring, Beck will host FOX News Channel’s (FNC) 5 PM/ET weekday program as well as a weekend show on the network,” a Fox News statement says. Fox News’s Roger Ailes remarked, “As we embark on a new political landscape, Glenn’s thought provoking commentary will complement an already stellar line-up of stars at FOX News.” Check out some of Beck’s worst moments here.

Beck will fit right in
October 16th, 2008 at 6:00 pmWhat a surprise.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:03 pmPerfect.
Now I know I’ll never run across that giant well-scrubbed baby again.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:04 pmThis is great . . . for CNN. Glad they traded this bad boy off. Hope they got lots of cash and a couple first-round draft picks.
Lots of changes over there at FoxSnooze. Brit Hume is retiring at year-end but will be a “senior statesman” for 100 days a year . . . the other 265, he will just plain be drunk on his ass, I guess.
I wonder if Fox is making room for that great objective journalist, Little Seannie Hannity, to move directly into its “news” operations.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:05 pmHahahahahaha! Rats ALWAYS find their way to the nearest sewer.
NOTE: I apologize to any rats or sewers who are offended by my an@logy.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:08 pmThe sewer aquires another turd. Same smell as ever.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:08 pmCNN sees the writing on the wall… time to clean house…
October 16th, 2008 at 6:09 pmGreat news. That almost makes CNN something akin to a news organization again. Also one step closer to congregating all the nutters on Fox where they belong.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:09 pmThat’s where he belongs. Good riddance
October 16th, 2008 at 6:12 pmIt’s good that so many of the right-wing newscasters move to Fox News. That way there’s only one channel that I need to avoid.
(I hope Lou Dobbs is next. He pretends to be an independent, but he’s really a far right-winger.)
October 16th, 2008 at 6:12 pmIt’s good that so many of the right-wing newscasters move to Fox News. That way there’s only one channel that I need to avoid.
Agreed. We’re sending them all to FoxSnooze so we can fight/ignore them over there instead of fighting/ignoring them all over the place.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:14 pmLou Dobbs, Johnny McNumbNuts . . . separated at birth.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pmAnd I assume its the only way Beck can improve his ratings.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pmI wonder if FAUX will have a job for Bible Spice when her disastrous run for VP convinces the fine people of Alaska to give her the boot.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:16 pmBeck added, “I am thrilled and profoundly humbled to have the chance to bring my program to FOX News. Expanding my audience is exciting, but I’m really looking forward to joining Mr. Ailes and his world-class team.”
world-class team of thugs.” Fixed it for ya, Glenn.
CNN will probably replace Beck with Coulter. For, you know, balance.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:16 pmAbout freakin’ time. He was MADE for FOX news. I mean literally made…as in some underground cloning (clowning) lab where they combined the DNA of Bill O’Riley, Sean Hannity, and some kind of slime mold. (my apologies to slime molds everywhere)
October 16th, 2008 at 6:17 pm“…will complement an already stellar line-up of stars at FOX News.”
Stars? More like black holes.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:17 pmFox News’s Roger Ailes remarked, “As we embark on a new political landscape, Glenn’s thought provoking commentary will complement an already stellar line-up of stars at FOX News.”
Copywriter! Copywriter over here!! That should be spelled “sleazebuckets, racists and big-mouth azos”….
Cheers,

She will have to dye her hair blond.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:24 pmanother right wing hack?
yeah… that’s the ticket!

thank you.

October 16th, 2008 at 6:25 pmGlenn who?
October 16th, 2008 at 6:31 pmThis may be the first recorded instance of a rat that scambled aboard a sinking ship.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:33 pmI don’t think so, lurker. I think it’s more likely that the other FAUX bimbos will return to their natural hair color as part of the “rebranding” of all things GOP.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:33 pmWell, just maybe all those EMails about not watching CNN because of that POS made them not re-up his contract…
….I still won’t watch CNN because they had that FASCIST on their channel for even a second.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:38 pmReally you know little glen beck it thrilled to beable to take part in the faux news circle jerk wonder if he will get upset that when mann coulter comes by she will be the biggest D*ck in that cicle..I wonder if little dicky morris will ask him if he wants a free toe suck
October 16th, 2008 at 6:39 pmUgh. Maybe I can start watching CNN again. Although the whole Glenn Beck episode has soured me on their entire network somewhat. They come across like Fox lite.

You could be right because she is the “alpha” dog er pitbull.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:46 pmGosh, how will his unique perspective fit in with the fair & balanced commentators on Fox News ??? LOL …
October 16th, 2008 at 7:03 pmDid Ailes really say Glenns thought provoking commentary???? Are you freaking kidding me? The man is retarded. He even gives stupid a bad name. I suspect he is Daryll
October 16th, 2008 at 7:05 pmFux is sensing defeat on E Day and it loading up with blather for the next 4 years.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:12 pmWhat’s the opposite of “cream rising to the top”?
October 16th, 2008 at 7:17 pm“Sh@t sinking to the bottom”?
When was the last time Faux News announced the addition of a liberal host to their line-up?
Oh, right — never.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pmGlenn’s thought provoking commentary will complement an already stellar line-up of stars at FOX News.”
Funniest line I’ve read in a while.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:22 pm“our stellar line up of stars”
PEE-YOOK!!!
what they did to Clinton is gonna look like ‘pong’ compared to what they’re gonna do to Obama!!!
October 16th, 2008 at 7:25 pmIf Beck has to work then let if be for Fox. We need all of these whackos in one place; that way we can keep an eye on them.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:27 pmBirds of a feather flock together.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:46 pmOnce they’re all in one terlet, it’ll only take one flush – that’s efficiency I can believe in.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:52 pmThis is great news! Now that we’ve got them all in one place, it’ll easier to avoid them. FAUX News is now the wingnut concentration camp of cable TV.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:15 pmColor me shocked.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:53 pmI know this is America and we’re supposed to believe in the First Amendment and all that, but…I still think FOX Noise should be turned into a Delicatessen…!

October 16th, 2008 at 9:18 pmGlenn, don’t let the CNN door hit your back-side on the way out.
October 16th, 2008 at 9:35 pmI’m surprised it took this long for this to happen.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:13 pmI guess CNN finally noticed that no one is watching Beck’s show, despite CNN’s constant promotion of it.
Beck and Fox “News” is a great matchup. Both willfully ignorant and stupid.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:51 pmIt’s about time that Nazi joined the Nazi Channel.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:04 pmGood. Keep all the sh*t in one pile.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:06 pmBECK on FOX???
LOL!
Good. Now when Beck has a verbal BM
it lands in the right toilet.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:48 pmNow he can go join the racists over at Fox Snooze.
GOOD RIDDENCE!!

EXACTLY!!!
October 17th, 2008 at 12:11 amAfter all Fox needed a little balance in their programming
October 17th, 2008 at 12:44 pmalcyone Says:
Moving Beck to Fox will drop the collective IQ of the Clinton News Network by about 90%
You mean raise the level of journalistic integrity which has been nonexistent during Beck’s show, right??? Glenn Beck is not a journalist, far from it. He’s a right wing hack who goes not on facts and credible sources but on any one of the many conservative talking points which have been disseminated as containing factual inaccuracies. Keep watching Fox, you’re IQ may drop even more.
October 17th, 2008 at 2:35 pmAnother in a long line of reasons to ignore Fox.
October 19th, 2008 at 8:12 amthis is fantastic…. now i don’t hav ter watch the crap on headline news…. just caint wait til we gettum er huntin season fer rat liberals… dat ill be sum fun.. shootin me some rats….. summmm funnnn!!!!!!
