He is the most honest of broadcasters, despite the attacks that you hear. He is entertaining, funny, and let's people's speak in their own words. I predict that Brits will love him too once you give him a chance. Glen Beck is extremely well liked in America, you will soon learn why.

This site has some decent articles, but some utterly poor ones too. Honestly, this post scrapes the barrel. I am right of centre, I hate Glenn Beck, but I like to look at this site as anyone with half a brain likes to read things that challenge their own views. This post, however, makes me despair.

Consumers, in a free market (you know, that thing right-wing trolls say they support) decide they don't like Glenn Beck and boycott any company that endorses him. Again, consumer choice, which right-wing fuckwits are supposedly in favour of. These companies, wanting to make as much money as they can (which in every other context fash cunts praise, regardless of how much it may harm people) decide not to sponsor shows he's on. He has every right to speak his mind, he has no right to automatically be sponsored by advertisers. Is that so hard for the likes of "The Orator" to understand? How the fuck is it censorship?

When Fox News is shown outside the US all of the ads are removed since they are for US products only. All of the shows on Fox shown outside of the US do not have ads not just Glen Becks show. Unlike CNN which has two news forms CNN International and CNN (which is shown inside the US). They differ slightly. The International version has International ads or ads for other shows on CNN. Fox News broadcasts exactly the same show as shown in the US so it just removes the ads from it International broadcasts. In some countries they even have a bit called Fox News extra which is played during the ad break (like in Australia and New Zealand). In the UK they show the Headlines of Sky News. Otherwise it would just show the Fox News Logo. Fox News has been shown in the UK for while on Sky Television.
