Glenn Beck's departure from Fox News, Part 1:
On rare occasions, a unique figure bursts onto the national stage and has a dramatic impact on politics, culture, or both. Glenn Beck is one of those figures. He is surely the biggest, fastest, most controversial star in the political commentary business in my lifetime.
Beck is a real-life version of Howard Beale, the fictional television commentator in the 1976 film classic 'Network.' Beale whipped his cultish TV audience into a frenzy, exhorting them to stick their heads out the window and chant, 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'"
