Glenn Beck no longer on the air

yes, I am a Republican, BUT, people please realize that Glenn Beck is just a failed shock jock and radio DJ (not to mention that Rush also began his career as a failed radio DJ). His failed radio career turned him into a suicidal substance abuser, so please people, know that he is not all that. See below...the guy is a joke and tried to be another Howard Stern rip-off. If any of the elderly people who trust him so much knew what he really has been, then he would have no listeners, just like most of his radio career. Below is from Wikipedia...

 

His four-hour weekday show was called Captain Beck and the A-Team.[32] Beck had a reputation as a "young up-and-comer". The show was not political and included the usual off-color antics of the genre: juvenile jokes, pranks, and impersonations.[23] The show slipped to third in the market and Beck left abruptly in 1987 amid a dispute with WRKA management.[citation needed]

 

Months later, Beck was hired by Phoenix Top-40 station KOY-FM, then known as Y-95. Beck was partnered with Arizona native Tim Hattrick to co-host a local "morning zoo" program.[21] During his time at Y-95, Beck cultivated a rivalry with local pop radio station KZZP and that station's morning host Bruce Kelly. Through practical jokes and publicity stunts, Beck drew criticism from the staff at Y-95 when the rivalry culminated in Beck telephoning Kelly's wife on-the-air, mocking her recent miscarriage.[19] In 1989, Beck resigned from Y-95 to accept a job in Houston at KRBE, known as Power 104. Beck was subsequently fired in 1990 due to poor ratings.[19]

 

 

Again, know who you are listening to. The guy is just a shock jock with very little contribution to his field.
