Glenn Beck began his Fox News show the same week Barack Obama started his White House gig. In the ensuing months, the TV host spun his right-wing monologues into a ratings juggernaut, while the President’s approval ratings slumped so low he risked cancellation by the voters.
One of the above has vastly improved odds of being renewed for another season. As for the other, the clock is fast ticking on his 15 minutes.
Fox’s announcement that Mr. Beck will end his weekday show this year signals more than the parting of the top U.S. cable news network and its most notorious property. It underscores a shift in the national mood.
In short, Americans just aren’t that angry any more.
