Glenn Beck's Faux Noise show is ending.

Good riddance, and it's about time. (EDIT: link replaced because the old link no longer works.)

That's a fine first step. He still has his radio show though, which is arguably even worse. And the "Ailes emphasized that Fox and Beck will continue to work together." line is a bit troubling. Not sure what that's about, but it can't be anything good. Oh well, his Faux Noise show ending is still a good start, though.

He is going to be producing more shows for Fox News, according to CNN (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/06/beck-leaves-daily-show/) yesterday.

Well, given how badly he was hemorrhaging advertisers at the end due to the boycott against him, hopefully all of that will carry over to anything else he may try to do there as well (and, ideally, to his radio show as well).

To go off on a tangent, I'm seeing some morons spreading the idiocy that this boycott against Glenn Beck is somehow infringing on his first amendment rights. Here's my take on that: Do I want to see Glenn Beck's right of free speech taken away? No, I do not, which is good because that is not what is being done here. However, do I want to see the outlets available for Glenn Beck to use in the process of spreading his fear/hate-mongering eventually be limited merely to him standing on a street corner somewhere with a sandwich board, because no one else is willing to give him any more air-time/book deals/speaking engagements/use of their venues to hold rallies/whatever? Why yes. Yes indeed I do.
