Fox News Drops “Glenn Beck”
Today FOX News announced Glenn Beck’s daily TV show will be no more.
FOX executives deny the move had anything to do with outside pressure, but it’s hard to see how FOX could ignore more than 300 lost advertisers and continuous criticism from the faith community.
FPL’s online action arm Faithful America, which has been putting pressure on Beck for his attacks on social justice, called the news a “major victory for people of faith.”
It’s too early to tell who will take Beck’s place in FOX’s lineup, but thanks to the work of Faithful America, Jewish Funds for Justice, Sojourners, Media Matters, Color of Change and the entire Stop Beck effort, I doubt we’ll see another host who quite like Beck anytime soon.
