Review[edit]

Interesting review of Beck's TV show from a media critic (who happens to be lefty) at A.V. Club, here. Snip:

The most common insult to hurl at Beck—from liberals and conservatives both—is that he’s a conspiracy theorist, someone who sees dark cabals of shadowy individuals trying to control all they see at every turn. The other most common insult to toss at him is that he just makes shit up. I, actually, don’t think either of these things are true, even as I think a good many of the things he says on the show are specious conspiracy theories with no basis in anything approaching factual evidence. I think Beck, on some level, really believes this stuff. I don’t think he thinks there’s a conspiracy. I think that just as he believes that everybody on his side longs to return to a world that resembles a happy-go-lucky ‘50s sitcom, he believes everybody on the other side wants to go to a shadow world, a world where capitalism no longer matters and where the structure of society is not just broken down but completely gone. There HAS to be; otherwise, he can’t quite understand what the other side wants. And, therefore, he’ll draw as many lines between as many disconnected dots as he possibly can and invite viewers along for the ride. He’s bottled that longing and served it straight up to his audience, in the hopes that when they finally solve the mysteries of the universe and pull back the edges of the circle, the darkness at the center doesn’t devour them whole.

It's cancelled[edit]

I'm not sure who reversed the editing, but it is. Maybe if someone could cite this, sources are everywhere.66.155.211.1 (talk) 01:36, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Guessing this was resolved in the Article; yes, the show moved to GBTV. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 06:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Era of Glenn Beck TV[edit]

Since this article is about "Glenn Beck (TV program)" I have added an additional section on Glenn Beck TV (called GBTV). It needs to be expanded, but this is a start. . . .

Glenn Beck's HLN Era[edit]

When Glenn Beck was on HLN, what studio at CNN did he tape in? Curvebill (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
