August 16, 200917 yr I can't stand to listen to Beck myself, I share the veiw of many others on here that think he's an idiot. But for those of you that really hate him, this if for you. Is it implying that Fox News Anchors don't have legs?
August 16, 200917 yr Is it implying that Fox News Anchors don't have legs?Without advertisers, do any Anchors of any channel?
August 16, 200917 yr Without advertisers, do any Anchors of any channel? Not sure. All I know is the man in that cartoon has no legs. :idunno:
August 16, 200917 yr Not sure. All I know is the man in that cartoon has no legs. :idunno: Since anchors generally sit behind desks, I would assume that's where his legs are. Otherwise, he would be the tallest anchor in TV history -- or for that matter, the tallest man in the world.
August 16, 200917 yr No, I think the cartoonist is using the Democrat symbol in speaking of the left, not the government. I think many cartoonists do this in political cartoons regardless if the point be about the right or the left. Media Matters, MSNBC, Stephen Colbert, Color of Change and their ilk are pushing the "boycott". Geico, owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway; Procter & Gamble; Sargento Cheese; and Progressive Insurance are among the advertisers to pull spots from his show. OK. That is perfectly reasonable response to Beck and is not a free speech issue.
August 16, 200917 yr He was funny, before he started to take himself seriously. And the Daily Show was funny when he had Colbert and Carell propping the show up. I still think he is hilarious.

Shouldn't companies be able to choose which media outlets that they want to back by advertising? I think that Beck is sinking fast and that businesses that no longer want to support his rants should have that freedom. They aren't pulling their support of other conservative talk show hosts, are they?

On the other hand, I see Beck no worse than Bill Mayer as both are idiots. I just don't see an outcry for support to be pulled from his show since he's far left. Seems those on the left aren't held to the same standard as those on the right. Just my opinion.

Bill Mayer is funny sometimes...but I can see why some people hate him. Glenn Beck is not funny...ever. Well not on purpose anyways.
August 16, 200917 yr Bill Mayer is funny sometimes...but I can see why some people hate him. Glenn Beck is not funny...ever. Well not on purpose anyways.I agree that Beck isn't funny, although I don't think he really tries to be. Mayer is a jerk, but no more of one than Beck IMO. As to Mayer being funny, comedy is like beauty, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder one can also say that comedy is in the ear of the beholder. To each our own, that's what makes life fun.
August 16, 200917 yr Ummm ... who is Bill Mayer? Pretty sure you know we meant Bill Maher. :ohbrother:
August 16, 200917 yr Pretty sure you know we meant Bill Maher. :ohbrother: Not necessarily. There's also Bill Moyers, who's a lightning rod for criticism from rightys, and I've seen his name butchered almost as often as Bill Maher's on here.

HBO now has commercials??
