Dumb Enough to Be Number One?
ByAlex Massie may think he’s the stupidest man on television, but the LA Times reports that Glenn Beck now has the third most-watched show on cable news. O’Reilly and Hannity are numbers one and two, but Beck is chasing. His two-month-old show has doubled Fox’s ratings in his time slot, recently attracting 2.2 million viewers–more than CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined. Beck’s take on all this: “I look at the ratings every day shocked.” Glenn, you are not alone.

I can’t begin to imagine what kind of person, what breed of stupidity, what political standpoint, what kind of anything would relate to this? It is just surreal. Perhaps people like the way he bobs his head around?
I should mention, we ditched cable TV a couple of years ago, so seeing anything out of the blue like this is especially jarring and ugly. I’m sure if I watched MSNBC for a few days, this wouldn’t seem quite so repulsive.
