Glenn Beck moving to Faux News
Update: Fox News has announced that Glenn Beck will host the 5PM hour, beginning next spring. Beck signed a multi-year agreement to host a weekday program at 5PM as well as a weekend show on the network. Press release below.

Original Post: Glenn Beck is close to a deal to host the 5PM hour on Fox News Channel, sources tell the Huffington Post.

Beck currently hosts a show on CNN's Headline News as well as a radio show, for which he signed a $50 million, five-year deal last year. Beck also signed a $3 million book deal in May.

The 5PM hour on Fox News Channel is currently occupied with "America's Election HQ," a replacement for John Gibson's "The Big Story".

2. It's hard to believe that radical nazi
gets paid millions to spew poison all over the airwaves. It's a shame and a disgrace.

3. I was waiting for this
If this were baseball, CNN could expect Chris Wallace, but Fox would get a player to be named later. Lou Dobbs will go to Fox after January 20 to complete the deal.

5. Replacing Britt Hume?
I hope ClusterFox news is wasting millions on this bag of pus.

Maybe they'll give Mann Coulter his own situation comedy. I wonder what they would call it?

6. He wasn't on Fox already?
Whenever I saw his puffy mug flash by, I always assumed it was Faux.

23. Yep. When we condemn Beck for his hate speech and general asshattery...
...it's good to remember how much it was worth to CNN. They paid a lot to keep his message in front of us.

Fuck CNN. They have a lot of apologies to make.

24. Same for me.
I haven't watched one minute since that turd got a show. As I have Faux child protected, I'll be even less likely to see his hideous mug.

20. Well that's good
I still don't know what the hell that ass is doing on "Headline News." (Nancy Grace either, for that matter...) Why would a channel, supposedly meant of focus on up-to-the-minute news, give some bloviator a talk show to hog up a whole hour- especially some ultra-right-wing jerk like Beck? Hopefully CNN doesn't replace him with Michael Savage or something; gotta keep things fair and balanced, y' know...?
