Glen Beck - Fox's Bad Boy

Like him or not, Glenn Beck is going nowhere. The newest Bad Boy on Fox News tells it just like he thinks it is and it does not seem to matter who doesn't like it. Glen Beck has cost Fox News channel plenty in lost advertisement revenue. But they have also picked up many new viewers, even if only out of curiosity. Deliverer of his own opinion and reviews of top political issues, Glen Beck holds your attention like a house on fire. Like him or not, you have to admit that he delivers his opinion in a very unconventional manner, one that captures your attention and makes you wonder what he will say next.

Glen Beck is no stranger to struggles; loosing his mother at a young age and fighting his own battles with alcohol and substance abuse have strengthened his resolve. He doesn't appear to be one to back down even when the odds are stacked against him.

Born in Mt Vernon, Washington, on February 10th 1964, Glen Lee Beck is not new to the political scene. Calling himself a libertarian with conservative views, he claims to be fighting for the rights of each and every one of us. Glen Beck got his first broadcasting gig at the age of 13. He was fired more than once and he bounced from city to city, station to station trying to find the one spot that fit. Glen Beck has been fighting his way to the top and it looks like that fight has paid off.

Hosting the Glen Beck Show on Fox is not his only job. Glen Beck hosts his own nationally syndicated radio talk show, The Glen Beck Program.He has also authored a new book, "Arguing With Idiots".

Beck appears to support private charity, limited government and the responsibility each of us has to home, health and country. He also supports the right to own a firearm and supports the right to life. Glen Beck has made many critical and personal statements about the Obama administration that have brought a great deal of attention to himself as well as Fox News. Not backing away from Beck, Fox News supports Beck and has not cancelled his show as many hoped would happen.

Who would have guessed ten years ago, this guy would be where he is today? I am sure he didn't. So how do you know when you have really arrived? How do you know you have made an impact, or perhaps stepped on some toes? Well, you find yourself the subject of the latest satire on SNL. Glen Beck has been there; in a very short skit that showed Barack Obama giving interviews to all station representatives, all except Glen Beck. Beck was played by Jason Sudeikis. The skit was based on Glen Beck's over-the-top personality and Obama's refusal to give time to Fox News.
