But I am not defending him for what he says

You're not?

But you say you think his intention is to have a unifying message. Are you saying that what he says is not unifying, yet you believe he wants to be unifying anyway?

I thought you said you couldn't read between the lines.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Where did you learn this? Glenn Beck himself, perhaps?

He announced it on his first anniversary. Considering the level of production from Dallas and New York I believe it is true.

Where do you get your info about him

You have to get it somewhere because if you did actually listen to him at all, you would know what you just posted is batshit crazy

We all know Beck was sufficiently batshit crazy that even FoxNews made him leave. Isn't that enough evidence?

According to a recent Forbes article, Beck has 300,000 subscribers. A recent article in the NY Daily News said the average viewership for CNN was 446,000 during prime time.

I think maybe Mr. Beck exaggerated his claim a little.

There you go again with those esoteric facts that only factinistas on the nerd patrol care about. What matters is that it FEELS like Beck has more viewers.

Yep, good point......BTW how long has Beck be around and how long has CNN? Who is gaining more and who is losing?

I've never watch one show of Beck.. so I don't give a shit but if Beck has only had this show for a year .....

Assuming what?

Saying that you think Glenn Beck is trying to be unifying is defending him. Saying that you're not defending what he says, and that he's actually not unifying means that you have an opinion of Glenn Beck that is independant of the stuff he actually says.

(And in case you've forgotten already, you were the guy assuming stuff earlier in the thread. I know you were, because you said you were.)

see, now that's an entirely different metric than the original claim of just net numbers

perhaps if you charted the rate at which Beck's membership has grown over the last 5? 10? years and fit and asymptotic estimate to the limit indicated on the chart (simple math fits can be found on the internet, or "intrawebs" as it is called). Then compared that limit to the constant CNN number - one could estimate the date at which the original claim is true.

or fit asymtotes to both trends and see if they ever cross

I'd also suggest aligning that with key dates from the Aztec calendar - just a hunch......

seems any nerd patrol member would be happy to do that also

Beck's been around for many years. He had his own show on Fox for a number of years. His BlazeTV internet show has only been around for one year.

CNN is certainly losing TV viewers, but to compare to Beck's internet site, you should add all the CNN TV viewers to the unique hits to their site. I'd be willing to bet CNN has the edge.

The Forbes article does not cite a source for the 300,000 figure. Therefore, no way to tell how currently accurate it is.

A jump of 146,000 subscribers could occur rather quickly. Folks are catching on to the reality of his predictions for the Middle East. He has been right on target since his FOX network days, over one year ago.

Tonight he is analyzing the WH cover up of the Libyan assassination. CIA not State Department personnel; SEALS not Marines; safe house not an American Embassy. One of the SEALS sent a coded message for extraction prior to the release of the questionable youtube video.

What is MSM covering tonight?

And how does he know all this?

And when you say Glenn Beck is trying to unify people, who exactly do you mean?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Glenn Beck loves himself a good conspiracy. Some others:

- The US government will seize everyone's land and then invite the Chinese army into the US to put down any protest.

- Obama will arm the mailmen and authorize them to secretly spy on Americans.

- A Wisconsin college professor that Beck calls "the Wizard" controls Obama and will use him to make Al Gore rich through cap and trade, via a group called "Emerald Cities Collaborative."

- The Marxists and the Arabs will take over the world in a "Muslim caliphate." The secret players here include Barack Obama, George Soros, Google, and children named Mohammed.

John, do not expect anyone outside of academia to understand the byzantine title structure within it. You can explain it until you're blue in the face, but unless they are actively involved, they will think a person is either a professor or student, they can't wrap their heads around anything else. This would hold especially true to those who never had contact with either.

There's no shortage of professors who get indignant if a non tenured associate is called "professor." It feels a bit far fetched that a non tenure tract lecturer would be promoted to a position (senior lecturer) purported to have equal stature in but 4 years.

It's true that outsiders tend to squash the title structure down to professor, lecturer, staff, but UofC would have us believe the same, it appears.

My school has academic ranks along the usual lines, but all teachers get called "professor" informally. My wife held Senior Lecturer rank but was always called "professor" and was part of the full time faculty.

I have no reason to suppose U of C is any different. If they say they offered him a tenure track position I have no reason to doubt that.

U of C Law is the 5th ranked in the USA. I find it hard to believe they would repeatedly hire an incompetent to teach their classes, year after year.

Who said a lecturer, senior or not, is incompetent? Just not a full bird professor.

I don't think anyone believes he is incompetent. He is a Marxist/socialist. I don't think U of C would hold that against him. Corruption flourishes well in that environment. Corruption is Chicago's primary industry.

I would to, but if CNN keeps shedding viewers and Beck keeps adding...well you do the math.

Don nothing I could say would change you attitude about Beck, hell like I said I don't watch the man, never have but in the end there is a reason that Beck has a show, that Fox has an fairly large viewership.

It's easy to just say anyone that watched Fox is dumb (or Beck I guess) the real question is why? The "other side" isn't just full of dumb people - right or left.
