Beck Leaving CNN for Fox News
By Brian Stelter
Glenn Beck, the conservative commentator who helped re-invent CNN’s Headline News cable channel two years ago, is moving to the Fox News Channel.
He will host the network’s 5 p.m. weekday hour as well as an unscheduled weekend show beginning next spring. Fox News characterized the deal as a “multi-year agreement.â€
Wow that is news. Whoo Hoo. I wondered what was going to happen after the election. That has been Election HQ's for the last year. John Gibson, who I love use to have the spot. But he is doing mostly radio now and may be retiring.
This is GREAT NEWS.
I'm not so happy about this. I liked having Dobbs and Beck on CNN because it helped balance out CNN (most of the other commentators are very liberal) and now that he's going to Fox News, I hope that Beck keeps his own thoughts and opinions and doesn't become just another Democratic-bashing commentator, like Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. In other words, I hope that he doesn't now become a pawn for the Republican Party.

I bet he said, I'm staying the same zany guy so if that's not what you want, I'm not your guy.
He will have a much larger viewing audience.
True, it did help having both Dobbs and Beck on CNN.
I wish Glen Beck all the luck in the world with this change. He has been very clear headed about immigration issues.

He's also been on the economic crisis for a about a year. He's been beating the drum on it for at least six months. I hope they let him have his pitchforks behind him on the set. LOLQuote:
