I imagine people aren't as interested in news that focuses more on events of another country.<br /><br />Beck is a strange animal. When I saw him on CNN I thought he was surprisingly anti-corporate, and I thought he'd get canned, which he did. He's picked up by Fox and I thought his ratings were quite good. I think he suffered a brief dip and they just canned him even though overall his ratings were awesome. I'm not saying I follow this closely so I could be way off, but why do they fire a guy like Beck when his ratings are awesome? Ratings aren't the issue. The issue is pleasing the owners (mega corporations) and advertisers (mega corporations). What pleases them? Profits, not ratings.<br /><br />You can threaten profit from both the right and the left. You guys know my views and how they are a threat to profits. Same can be true from the right. Mega corporations like big government, namely government that serves them. They want government to be small when it serves the poor and regular people, but huge in service to corporations. Beck does sometimes criticize big government even when you are talking about big government that serves corporations, so that isn't necessarily part of the Fox agenda. They're hard on Ron Paul at Fox for the same reason.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530680372103907969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-72841565106100471042011-10-10T15:24:34.907-04:002011-10-10T15:24:34.907-04:00Although not an O'Reilly fan it is no shock th...Although not an O'Reilly fan it is no shock that his show is #1 - every single Fox show in its time slot is #1. For goodness sake's the 16th rated Fox show running at noon daily has more viewers than the #1 Lefty show in Maddow in Prime Time.<br /><br />And the alternate options keep coming HP - Like GBTV by Beck - do you realize that Beck already has more viewers via the internet than Olberman has in viewers on TV?<br /><br />His new series The Liberty Treehouse for kids is awesome - I highly recommend paying the $9.95/month.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828361282326797453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-58962971201566454642011-10-10T12:47:00.589-04:002011-10-10T12:47:00.589-04:00Alternative news media is out there.

It's regularly on TV, everyday. Yet it's ratings are in the tank.<br /><br />Your take?HispanicPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10220166238164432290noreply@blogger.com
