Show Me The Money
How much does it pay to be Glenn Beck? $32 million, according to Forbes. Beck pulled in the money through a revenue stream that includes books, radio, TV, digital media, and speaking fees. But, according to Forbes, Beck earned the least amount of money through his Fox News contract. Beck earned $12 million from book sales, $10 million from his 5-year contract with Premiere Radio Networks, ads from his website earned him $4 million, speaking fees and events like his "Bold Fresh Tour" with Bill O'Reilly earned him $3 million, and his Fox News contract brought in $2 million. Add in a final $1 million from his Fusion magazine, and Beck had a $32 million year. [Huff Post]

Beckicide?
Just when you thought crazy Glenn Beck couldn't get any wackier, now he says, implicitely, that the Obama Administration is out for blood, literally. Beck just wants the Administration to know that killing him would be breaking one of the ten commandments -- in case they didn't know. [Media Matters]

"Glenn Beck is a f*****g a**hole. I've met him. He called me the anti-Christ and not about 'Avatar.' He hadn't even seen 'Avatar' yet...I couldn't believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then, of course, he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess."--Director James Cameron on none other than Glenn Beck. [Popeater]

Friday Morning Funnies
If you only watch one thing today, make it Jon Stewart's parody of Glenn Beck. The Comedy Central host opened his show last night with a 15-minute mockery of Beck, taking aim at Beck’s "conspiratorial rantings about progressivism." Watch it here. [TP]

Born in… some terrorist country?
You don't mess with The Boss. Looks like Glen Beck didn't get the memo.
A song that's been played over speakers at hundreds of campaign rallies, vibrated in the space between drinks at everyone's favorite bar and set millions of heads nodding from radio stations coast to coast -- a piece of music that is literally stitched into the fabric of American blue-collar culture, Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" -- is, according to right-wing pundit Glenn Beck, "anti-American" and "propaganda" that people must "wake up" from.

Glenn Beck Doesn’t Like Your Church
Glenn Beck is trash talking your church. The right-wing megamouth is telling his listeners that Christian churches they must quit any churches that talk about "social justice" (aka: poverty or human rights) because that's "code" for socialism. "I'm begging you, your right to religion and freedom to exercise religion and read all of the passages of the Bible as you want to read them and as your church wants to preach them . . . are going to come under the ropes in the next year. If it lasts that long it will be the next year. I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!" [Belief Net]

NO ADVERTISEMENTS FOR YOU
Last week, the British broadcast of Fox News' Glenn Beck show was forced to run without any paid advertisers after the last of the program's corporate sponsors bailed. Fox News Channel was forced to fill commercial breaks with news headlines and local weather updates from its U.K.-based sister network, Sky News. Beck has been suffering from advertising woes since he claimed that President Barack Obama was a "racist." Nestle, Allstate, Best Western International and Anheuser-Busch are a few of the companies who have stopped running advertisements on the Fox program. Go cry us a river, Beck. [Raw Story]
