Fox Fires Glen Beck

His TV show contract will not be renewed in December, and the definitive word on this comes from the Grauniad,* "Glenn Beck will be missed after he leaves Fox News – by satirists."

I guess cratering ratings, and fleeing sponsors mean something, even to Roger Ailes' Fox News.

*According to the Wiki, The Guardian, formerly the Manchester Guardian in the UK. It's nicknamed the Grauniad because of its penchant for typographical errors, "The nickname The Grauniad for the paper originated with the satirical magazine Private Eye. It came about because of its reputation for frequent and sometimes unintentionally amusing typographical errors, hence the popular myth that the paper once misspelled its own name on the page one masthead as The Gaurdian, though many recall the more inventive The Grauniad."
