Media matters is calming victory--->
Dear the6 dead,
This message is a long time coming, and it feels good to finally tell you
the news. Yesterday, Fox News announced that later this year, toxic talk show host
Glenn Beck would "transition off" from his nightly hour of hate, falsehoods,
extremism, and absurd conspiracy theories.
It's thanks to your support that we've been able to continually monitor and
fact-check Beck and his relentless tide of smear campaigns and lies. With your
help, we've been able to make the case that Beck has a dangerous impact on the
national conversation -- and we've been able to ensure that Fox's promotion of
Beck has had real-life consequences for the network's credibility and its
advertising dollars. Beck's show has lost nearly 1 million viewers in the last
year, and more than 300 advertisers since its debut.
It took two years too long for this to happen and the fight isn't over: Fox
News and its allies in the right-wing media will continue to distort and
undermine the political process. The right-wing noise machine still injects
political attacks and falsehoods into our national debate through outlets like
Fox News and talk radio.
Help us keep
up the fight for honesty and accountability in the media.
As long as conservatives continue to broadcast misinformation and hate
speech, we'll keep working around the clock to monitor and fact-check it and to
prevent it from influencing the national dialogue.
Donate today to support the important work Media Matters for
America does to ensure honesty and accountability in the media.
Help us keep
up the fight.
Thank you for your continued support -- this wouldn't have been possible
without you.
Sincerely,
David Brock
Founder and Chairman
Media
Matters for America

FOX probably just needs to make room for someone even crazier.

Knowing Fox you are probably more than correct. they probably want someone up there to convince people it is okay to work your ass off and not be able to make a living or afford health care. That your husbands paycheck should go 100% to rent and your wifes paycheck pays the utilities, the gas bill, and $800 a month health ins bill..no savings...no retirement...convince them that social security is marxism, and it would be better if we let private interests gamble that money.

Now who are they going to find that will make Bill O'Riley look sane and centrist?

They'll call it "THE LIBERTARIAN HOUR OF GO FUCK YOURSELF!"

But only "libertarian" about regulations on corporations.

Big intrusive government kicking down your bedroom door is still OK.
