READ MORE- Glenn Beck apologizes for 'one of the worst analogies of all time' - Reform Judaism being equal to radicalized Islam
“The New York Times” on Monday reported that Fox News executives are “contemplating life without” Glenn Beck after his current contract expires in December.
If his contract is not renewed, Beck would be forced to leave a network which significantly boosted his profile over the past two years.
Networks with such sway as Fox News tend to be coy regarding information on contracts.
This has been a difficult year for Beck after noted media writer Howard Kurtz reported last year that there was a “deep split” within Fox News as a result of Beck’s credibility on the network.
Last September Mark Leibovich from “The New York Times” wrote about growing tensions between Beck and the network over his outside media ventures.
Beck was also chastised over his frequent attacks on liberal billionaire George Soros which were later condemned by Jewish organizations.
Since Beck’s ratings have fallen over 300 advertisers have pulled their commercials from the show. Last November he fell from his spot as the third highest rated show in cable news.
Joel Cheatwood, the Fox News executive responsible for his show, told David Carr from “The New York Times” that he has discussed lightening the tone of the show with Beck.
"It is really important that no matter how dire he thinks things are or what horrible direction things may be going from his perspective that the show maintains a sense of hope," Cheatwood said.

seanomelbourne | Mar 13, 2011, 06:20 PM EDT
Ah! Maloney the minimum pay in Ozland is around $15 per hr. for a 35hr.week.IF we need cheap labour we'll invite you to Oz and pay American rates and you are welcome to roohump after hours of course(no charge).

1 st. this is from a country that went bankrupted because of the liberal's and most of what i read on irish central is trash written by people who know nothing of what they write all of the scum that you praise are the same ilk we are trying to get rid of the oil company put black scum in the gulf of mexico the dems put black scum in the white house now our local drug dealers have a king spigger

Regarding Glen Beck's demise on Fox, you quote the N.Y Times??? What a joke, "the majority of people want Obama Care (false)Majority of people in Wisc. favor the unions False) How about reporting that under Obama our gas prices have risen 67% since he took office (true) You liberals are such a crock of mis-information and B/S. Beck's alive and well and well liked on Fox by the people who watch Fox, it's the only place to get real news not pre-fabricated, made up stuff.
maloney | Mar 12, 2011, 02:25 AM EST
seano..the high water the jappos sent you way must have missed ya. You may still get a bath before the end of the month. I'll keep praying for ya. Do your slave workers get roohumping breaks?
seanomelbourne | Mar 11, 2011, 05:43 PM EST
If quoting you 2B upsets your sensibilitys and you cannot take criticism, I promise not to converse with you in the future.You obviously wish to converse with like minded morons.
seagreen | Mar 11, 2011, 10:23 AM EST
Glenn Beck is nothing new... For those that are old enough, there was a guy named George Lincoln Rockwell who led a militant crusade during the sixty's Beck is following the exact format and style of Rockwell. Rockwell claimed that by wearing the NAZI officers uniform, he could reduce jewish nobel prize winners, and intellectuals to ranting raving street people. Beck is not wearing the uniform (at least publicly) yet
seanomelbourne | Mar 11, 2011, 01:00 AM EST
Glen,Glen,the flim flam man
kajpngwe | Mar 10, 2011, 11:18 PM EST
Glenn, Is the pne person who managed to wake up the American people to what is going on in the country.We are becoming (if not already) a third world country. Keep up the good work Glenn. We are a nation of cowards. Wake up America.
seanomelbourne | Mar 10, 2011, 06:26 PM EST
2B quotes the right to justify the right.Beck is a sad fool,a recovering drug and alcohol addict who's rantings are akin to another addict "Sheen"
ballyhip | Mar 10, 2011, 05:23 PM EST
Glen Beck is not a journalist, a columnist, or even a good television "personality". Showing my age but I noticed that he has adopted a blackboard to pitch his conspiracies, wacky notions, and just plain wrong information. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen SJS did this on his popular 50's television show but he was a classical scholar who demonstrated the eternal truths of Aristotilian/Thomistic ethics and cosmology. I hope that is not his blackboard!
Irishjule | Mar 10, 2011, 02:23 PM EST
I AM SADDENED BY SOME OF THE COMMENTS HERE. THAT IS THE TROUBLE WITH OUR COUNTRY. PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUNG AND NAIVE PEOPLE, REFUSE TO REALLY LEARN THE TRUTH; THAT'S WHY OBAMA AND HIS THUGS ARE IN THE GOVERNMENT. READ ABOUT CUBA, GERMANY, POLAND, AND SEE HOW CITIZENS' LIVES WERE TAKEN OVER GRADUALLY UNTIL THE PEOPLE BECAME HELPLESS. SO WHAT IF THE GOVERNMENT HAS A MAJOR STAKE IN GENERAL MOTORS, GENERAL ELECTRIC, AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM? WHAT'S NEXT? OBAMA WANTS THE AUTHORITY (IN A BILL BY JOE LIEBERMAN) TO SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET AS GADAHFY DID IN LIBYA RECENTLY. AMERICANS NEED TO WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! DON'T LISTEN TO THE LIBERAL MEDIA, THINK FOR YOURSELF! READ! WATCH FOX NEWS WHERE THEY SHOW PROOF FOR WHAT THEY SAY.
whiteycat | Mar 10, 2011, 02:08 PM EST
Execs should not have made this public until its a done deal. Just opens it up to a bunch of Beck bashers
VernonC | Mar 10, 2011, 02:07 PM EST
Vernon C thinks CNN conjured up this story to lessen Beck's impact, planting a seed hoping it will take hold, the inverse of their high praise for things Obama and liberal. Hey, they can say whatever they wish as they don't have to answer to the public for anything. On the other hand, no thinking person takes CNN seriously, many fewer watch them than FOX. CNN has no Beck, I'd mention their ace but I can't think of one.
whiteycat | Mar 10, 2011, 02:06 PM EST
I hope he stays on the program. I would like to see an interview of Obama by him. I bet he wouldnt be as wishy washy as Bill O'reilly.
whiteycat | Mar 10, 2011, 02:03 PM EST
I like Beck very much. FNC may have boosted his profile but I think he has boosted theirs. I have hope when I watch his show. And as for being true or not I believe him because I have not heard anyone explain away what he says. I would prefer when he is away that he uses someone instead of Judge Napalitano to do his show. How can anyone say they dont get hopeful from his show.?And another thing,I read a book a few years before ever hearing about Beck and it was all about The new World order. He tells it like it is.And he is not the only one who makes mistakes on the air. Look at Biden and obama and pelosi.
McNamara31 | Mar 10, 2011, 11:33 AM EST
Some people love to hate and opportunists like Beck and Limbaugh have been making millions on them for years. Eventually the haters look for someone else when the likes of Beck fails to give them their "hate high" for the day.
warrenpoint00 | Mar 09, 2011, 06:19 PM EST
Cheerio,cheerio, cheeri-o-ho you fat racist man.You belong in hell with Adolph.
seanomelbourne | Mar 09, 2011, 06:02 PM EST
What a bunch of bigoted/racist morons Beck preaches to.Sapphic Caliphate.Deut17:15 a load of crap perpetuated by bunch of morons.
Advocate | Mar 09, 2011, 05:40 PM EST
At least Glenn asks serious questions of Insane Hussein and his fellow Socialist PoliticalScumBags, (and others), and begs that they render an answer. which they REFUSE to do - Why??? Deut. 17:15 and 28:43 will explain the 'chains we have been instructed to believe in!'
ballinrobe | Mar 09, 2011, 04:28 PM EST
I love Glenn Beck. He tells it as it is.
AMERICAPHILE | Mar 09, 2011, 03:07 PM EST
LIBS HATE GLENN BECK BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE MEDIA WHO EXPOSES THE COMING WORLD SAPPHIC CALIPHATE!!!!
Mickk333 | Mar 09, 2011, 02:49 PM EST
ah now 2bornot2b, you'd know more about that than I (or it seems anyone else) because I don't watch SAUDI OWNED FOX NEWS (a quick Google search is all you need to verify that).
kevinhayes | Mar 09, 2011, 01:35 PM EST
Only people who listen exclusively to right wing talk radio and Faux News could believe that Beck's shows are fact based or that he speaks the truth. He is an increasingly less entertaining con-man entertainer, laughing all the way to the bank. He probably believes the crap he serves up to his sheeple - he has no choice if he wants to make it believable. It is disappointing to see Irish Americans buy Beck's nonsense. In an earlier life he would have been a basher of the emigrant Irish.
peterson | Mar 09, 2011, 12:49 PM EST
FOX NEWS is where you hear the TRUTH you liberal nuts !!
Kells46 | Mar 09, 2011, 11:23 AM EST
I cannot believe the ignorance of some of these posts. Beck is a nut job, pure and simple and should be treated as such. Fox News is full of nuts, just like a lot of people who post on Irish Central. Get a grip people!!
pflynn70 | Mar 09, 2011, 10:55 AM EST
My god, do you expect anyone to believe the New York Slimes ( Times)? Really, they have lost all their creditibility years ago and it's in the same level as their stock. Worthless!Garbage, Drek! Beck is a great researcher of FACTS something the liberal left hates to hear or see. They can't handle it and Beck just iritates the hell of of them. Weather you like Beck or not, one thing for sure, he has the FACTS and FACTS don't lie.
srdools | Mar 09, 2011, 10:27 AM EST
susanna is high on obama farts
colkelley | Mar 09, 2011, 10:12 AM EST
Attacking George Soros should be the focus of an entire network. If anyone was ever truly evil with the means to carry out evil plans it is that scumbag. Hey ThomasE - if written English isn't a second or third language for you, you should invest in some night classes on how to write English. Karahawk - when was the last time you actually researched the facts behind so-called Liberal "news?" Oh, I forgot...facts to a Lib are like Holy Water to a vampire.
srdools | Mar 09, 2011, 09:55 AM EST
He's a little emotional at times but he tells it like it is for the most part and most of the jerks here just vomit the liberal line out of habit or reflex.If you were honest with yourself you would have to admit that he's correct on most views.
ThomasE | Mar 09, 2011, 09:48 AM EST
I think he racist arrogant and thinks he is better than every one else. And he is not
maloney | Mar 09, 2011, 09:46 AM EST
Beck will be at Fox as long as he wants and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it but b*tch!!!LOL
karahawk | Mar 09, 2011, 07:23 AM EST
"You can't fool all the people all of the time." Glenn Beck's outrageous comments are not unlike the rest of the Fox so-called news...let's call a spade a spade. What Fox offers is calumny: vicious attacks on the middle class; most recently our Teachers
EDDIE2K10 | Mar 09, 2011, 05:05 AM EST
GLEN BECK has one of the SHARPEST POLICTICAL MINDS on Television ,today. He has his finger on the PULSE of what's happening. He knows OBAMA and LEFTIST demogargaree,better,than they know THEMSELVES. Unlike those USELESS GASBAGS, Keith Oberman & Chris Matthews. GLEN BECK REIGNS SUPREME!
seanomelbourne | Mar 08, 2011, 07:38 PM EST
Beck for president Maloney for hype.
McNabb1966 | Mar 08, 2011, 07:32 PM EST
This just in: Molly Muldoon PUNKED by NY Times. The line about the "300 advertisers" pulling their ads is particularly clueless. It should be noted that the only ATTRIBUTED quote from a FOX source had nothing to say about lost advertisers or "doubts" about the value of Beck's show. An executive having a conversation with an on-air personality about the show? Shocka! lol Given the recent comments from the NYT's Bill Keller, it's not surprising that the source for this fake news story is the NYT. But...if this kind of nonsense is what it takes to keep the Lunatic Left somewhat pacified then have at it. It's not unexpected and it certainly isn't something that's new.
maloney | Mar 08, 2011, 07:20 PM EST
From Fox to President. Not bad for an old drunken drug addict. My mistake, obama was & is the drug addict.
seanomelbourne | Mar 08, 2011, 06:48 PM EST
Beck the bungler slan leath you feeble minded creature of hate and spite.
wizardofoz | Mar 08, 2011, 05:20 PM EST
“Reform Judaism being equal to radicalized Islam” Well, that’s the end of Beck’s career, for sure! Any bad press on terrorist Jews and your as good as dead in the occupied territory that is the US of A. Jews run the place. A Washington insider informed me late last year, that in the Foreign office, on Capital Hill, all notices and posters on the walls are in Hebrew. Is it any wonder Americans are fighting and dying for Israel in the mid east? Wise up you guys!
EphraimKibbey | Mar 08, 2011, 04:37 PM EST
Crazy? I don't think so. Lets see, his main sponsor is GOLD. When do people buy gold? When the world is going to h__l in a handbasket. What does Beck make it seem like the world is doing? Just that, for a new reason de jour each episode. His "SHOW" should be identified for the info-mercial for gold that it really is. On Meet the Press, last year, Roger Als was asked about some of the strange people on Fox that seemed to be touting as factual news, stories that blatantly were "Alien Baby" tabloid stuff and he explained that Fox was in the business of "ENTERTAINMENT" and that "NEWS" on it should be viewed with that in mind. This explains alot - just because Fox and Beck have big audiences doesn't mean everyone watching accepts their rantings as gospel - some of us just watch so that we can roll on the floor with laughter. What worries me is that there are a few people out there that take them seriously. Oh well, someone must be buying the gold - I sold ours and made a great profit. Soon it will be time to sell all the silver I foolishly bought when the Hunts were cornering that market - I might actually come out ahead on that miscalculation after 30 years of waiting. Never sell at a loss is my motto. Thanks, Glenn.
michealseamus | Mar 08, 2011, 04:16 PM EST
Beck - May you be rich in misfortune, poor in blessings, quick to make enemies, slow to make friends. But rich or poor, quick or slow, May your ratings decrease from this day forward.
MalcomAC | Mar 08, 2011, 04:10 PM EST
He's a hate monger whose audience's parents listened to Father Coughlin. For what it's worth, I'm glad to see Keith Obermann off the air, also.
allentown | Mar 08, 2011, 12:26 PM EST
Apparantly according to the article, Beck's ratings have fallen by a third. What are Beck's ratings now? Only 2,000,000 viewers a night, down from 2,600,000. How does Roger Als get a show at 5 P.M. that has 2,000,000 viewers? All voters.
cillowen | Mar 08, 2011, 11:27 AM EST
Ruined - the terror of terrorists friends among us is godly inspired. That said I can't stand the beck ahole ..
olovely | Mar 08, 2011, 11:21 AM EST
Martians. The Martian invasion. It's the only story line he has left.
EvelynDavey | Mar 08, 2011, 11:08 AM EST
Sorry, I like Beck, and I really like his history lessons. I have learned a lot watching him, and me thinks the critics are jealous.
joma5004 | Mar 08, 2011, 10:49 AM EST
Me thinks that Beck spending so may years inside a booze bottle has left him with a few corks misssing.
susanna | Mar 08, 2011, 10:23 AM EST
Amazing how people think there is a problem with Charlie Sheen and Glenn Beck has been a major nut case on mainstream television in the U.S. for a few years now and FAUX (FOX) news air him as if he were NORMAL!! He is so representative of the implosion of the U.S. and how FAUX news is leading cause of it.
