CNN Headline News host and radio personality Glenn Beck is joining Fox News Channel.

Beginning next spring, Beck will host Fox News’ 5 p.m. weekday program, as well as a weekend show.

The 5 p.m. hour is currently occupied by America’s Election HQ.

Beck’s eponymous Headline News program has grown more than 200% in viewership since its launch in 2006 and his radio show, distributed by Premiere Radio Networks, is the third most listened to talk show in the 25-54 demo.

“As we embark on a new political landscape, Glenn’s thought provoking commentary will complement an already stellar line-up of stars at Fox News,” said Roger Ailes, chairman and CEO of Fox News in a statement announcing the deal.

1. He is a neo-con idiot and makes no effort to hide his partisanship

Is anyone really surprised that Faux News wants him?

3. good, gather the worst of the shitheels into one spot

I couldn't even turn on Headline News anymore for fear of coming across that toad.

Of course, no guarantee they won't replace him with someone even worse.

4. his HNN show grew 200%? Did his mother get a boyfriend and

force his family to watch?
Great example of figures lie and liars figure. Instead of saying 6 people now watch instead of 2, they say 200% - sounds more impressive.

5. It's good to get them in one place. n/t

[bedazzled]

6. beck scares me more than rush or the other mouthpieces - he sounds sane occasionally

my mother and my husband both watch his tv series
on occasion and agree with him and they are mostly
aware of their surroundings...

after hearing two seconds of beck's psychosis on the
radio, i'll never respect anything he says...

7. He belongs with the other bigots.

[UTUSN]

8. But is he going to be OFF of HN? & yeah, keep them all in one place. n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

15. Yes - put all the hatemongers

on one channel. That way, they will be easier to avoid.

9. Thought provoking? I Hate that bastard

the only thoughts he provokes are...well...how much I hate him.

[Ganja Ninja]

13. "Thought provoking" as in "Why does this idiot have a show?"

:wtf:

[Canuckistanian]

10. Cockroaches always scurry to safety when threatened

Maybe someone turned the lights on in his office at CNN.
