Glenny Tells Us To Revolt Against Scary Socialist Black Man --
Oh, And Buy Lots Of Bullion -- Through Goldline...
Little Glenn Beck, one of America's Taliban, went on the air today in his ClearChannel-syndicated raido program to say he wants people to know "the good news" that "a blaze is coming [that will] burn everything down" (Want to listen to this drivel? Go here).
Beck also said he believed we were about to enter into a time like Steven King's novel, "The Stand" -- in which an influenza virus, created as a bioweapon, escapes from its containment lab to destroy 99% of humanity; and puts the survivors in two camps: On the side of God and a 100-plus-year-old woman as His spokesperson; or with the devil, acting through a grinning psychopath named Randall Flagg.
At the same time, Beck is losing viewers on his Little Rupert Network program: Huffington Post reports "Beck's Fox News program saw its worst ratings of 2010 on May 14th, averaging just 1.776 million total viewers."
This is more than his competition pulls in on MSNBC, CNN, and HLN combined, but represents a continuation of a deterioration in Beck's marketshare that began in April. Beck's May 14th number of viewers was "50% off [his] peak audience of 3.4 million" total viewers, said Politicususa's Jason Easley.
That decline in viewers coincides, strangely enough, with Beck's shift in April toward more religion and more religious references in his broadcasts, and a statement that he is delivering a message inspired directly from god about current events.
And, god's message just seems to tie in with the political agenda of the American Far Right -- and with Goldline, a business which sells bullion and gold stocks, and for whom Beck is a spokesman. In today's broadcast, Beck said flatly that "Goldline is the escape" from the coming economic collapse he predicts.
Sigh.
