I love Beck as well, he has one of the better op-ed columnist style shows on the air. He's also cleaning the competition's clocks in the ratings. Since leaving CNN for Fox the scope of Beck's success is astounding, he not only trounces the competition but he manages to command a prime time sized audience in his late afternoon time slot (5pm EST), it's insane.
Speaking of which, based on the ratings I've seen since I began working here at CNN big bad Fox seems to be benefitting enormously from the Democrats' control of Congress and the White House. Fox absolutely dominates the ratings now, it's a full fledged massacre from 4pm to 12am. It's as if their afternoon/prime-time lineup has morphed into the 1927 Yankees and the rest of cable news is like a bunch of also-rans from the bush leagues. The powers that be here at CNN are starting to panic, our ratings are tanking and the brain trust suits that were chest pounding and strutting about during the boom times leading up to the election are now crapping their pants.
