I had to see what this entry was purely because it had the tag "why grandma why." XDDD;

For something relevant, though, I read an article in the paper saying advertisers were bailing on Beck because of comments he made. ;D

Yeah, that was the Color of Changes campaign. However, from what I hear, really what's happening is that advertisers are just switching over to other shows while smaller advertisers and network ads are filling in the slots on Beck's show. It doesn't look like Fox News is going to pull the show at all, and this has only really served to rally and enrage their fanbase. (You should see Twitter when it comes to someone attacking anyone from Fox News. There are "I am the mob" icons for a reason.)

It's a sad day when even capitalism won't work the way it's supposed to. I kinda hope the whole network eventually goes down in flames over this and other comments by their pundits and "newscasters." But that's wishful thinking.
