Craziness Under Fire: Fox drops Glenn Beck

Don't know if this is a blow for the Mormon Church or a something right with the world moment, but Fox has terminated the Glenn Beck show.

Wonder if this will now allow him to be a much sought after Fireside speaker? (I would rather hear Dr. Peterson any day).

Could show up as the color commentator on the new BYU Sports Network. I could see him diagramming plays on the blackboard and explaining how George Soros and Satan are running the Texas Longhorn's defense to the detriment of the Lord's Conservative University.

Mosha,

I would take you as a color commentator over Beck any day. This is about the third time today I have laughed out loud at your posts.

Fox termination of Beck is a case of the blind firing the blind. Now if we could only terminate Fox.

I've never actually watch a single episode of the Glen Beck show on Fox. Still, I will miss his tears, rants and black boards excerpted on the Comedy Channel.

Jon Stewart will be disappointed, as Beck and O'reilley provide so much material for his show. Also Stephen Cobert will miss him. What will Fox do with all those blackboards and chalk?

Yep, Beck has to be pretty low not to meet the Fox Network standards.
There are not enough words to describe Becks colorful mind.
Too off the wall even for Fox. He makes O'Reilly look sane.

Fox has routinely cancelled shows I love. Now they have cancelled a show I hate. Perhaps they are trying to win me back over. If so, they have much farther to go.

Although this is a step in the right direction, I still don't see Fox ever being a credible news source.

That was a typo. It's supposed to be Faux News.
