GBTV: will you join?
 

Glen Beck is jump-starting his new GBTV campaign. For now its a paid "TV" subscription site.

Do you plan to join? I am undecided as of yet.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

NO

Naw...

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Nope

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

You're missing the ":spit" option. :lol

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I am not a huge GB fan. He says some things I agree with but I did not jump on his bandwagon though my daughter and her husband did. I am not paying anybody I can think of ten bucks a month to watch or listen to them!!!!!

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I totally agree!

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Just finished watching GBTV introduction video. (Didn't cost me anything! to watch it!) And I would like to make a challenge. Before we begin our "Apostolic..Pentecostal" criticizing of GBTV why don't we check it out. In doing so I would love to hear someone, (who has watched the intro), honestly and truthfully discuss what Glenn Beck is promoting and talking about.

What part of the presentation, concerning what he is doing by 9-12-11, is wrong!

Why don't we give him a chance? You may not like him but he has had the 3rd highest rated show on TV for nearly 2 years now. Somebody listens to him.

Again I would like to know what you dislike about him. He has had an awesome number of things that he said on his TV show, that no one else agreed with, come true.

Awe, but it is so easy to be critical! I ain't doing nothing and I'm disgusted with someone who is! Isn't that the way it is too often?

Just some of my thoughts tonight...

Been Thinkin

And yes, after listen to his intro I'm probably going to join him! At least he's doing something!

I like GB. I enjoy his witty presentation. I turned off Rush and Nose Pickin' "Mick" a long time ago.

That being said, I'm not going to pay for info.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I am a GB fan most of the time even though he gets abit intense. And I agree with much on his program.
But I doubt I would pay to see GB.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I'm actually a Rush 24/7 subscriber and while I agree with most of what GB says, I just can't see myself paying anything. I would put up with some ads on a podcast but not pay any monthly premium.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I would not watch for free

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

There wasn't the "I would like too" option.....anyways , so much to say, so little time. Will have to gather my thoughts to post here.

One thing I will say, Glenn needs our prayers. He is a true warrior and example of Christ in this world...a true shinning light.

Who here can say that only Apotolics have the red carpet into heaven? Let them cast the first stone....

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I'm conservative, but don't care for Glenn Beck. I tried to watch his show multiple times on FOX and just couldn't do it.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I couldn't vote. I'm conservative but I don't like Glenn Beck. I didn't watch him when he was free, and I definitely won't be watching him for a fee.

No dude ... he's a Mormon

*gasp*

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Glenn Beck is not my kind of conservative.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I'm a conservative, but not a GB fan.

Glad he left FoxNews with his soul... [tic] :ohplease

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I like him more than not, but I understand why some wouldn't.

And yes, I see it as somewhat troubling that he is Mormon.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

The last option is good for you. Not conservative OR don't ever want to watch.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I do not care for his radio program, which is where I heard him for the first time. I am not a fan, and will not follow his tv programing. I would be of this opinion even if did not have or want to watch tv. I prefer to listen to Rush over any of the others.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Oh, sorry. :) I read it as "and."

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

well...I've gathered my thoughts...and... I have none.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Well, well, well!

No one?

I sure figured some of you die hard conservatives would have shelled out a few bucks and signed up!

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I didn't watch Glenn Beck when he was "free" (on pay cable). I did try and give him a chance a few times, but I just couldn't follow him for more than a minute or two. He should have listened to whatever Roger Ailes was trying to tell him and developed a decent show on Fox. That's one opportunity that a lot of people might literally kill to have - and all Beck did was to whittle down his audience and his own influence.

Oh well... another one bites the dust. I'm glad that he was able to "leave with his soul..." I'm just a little concerned about some of the contents of that little ole soul.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Beck's message doesn't seem to really resonate with too many "die hard conservatives;" hence his failing show on Fox.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I think that could be debated. He still out paced most of his contemporaries in the business - easily.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Well I guess my vote didn't count. And, besides that, it's good to be ignored. I have yet to see any detailed explanation of what GB is doing wrong, in your opinion. Nothing wrong with disliking him...but, why?

Did he ever say anything that was poo pooed by the media and yet it came to pass or was proven to be true?

And as far as his relationship with FOX... it seemed to me that he left in pretty good favor. How many others that have left shows before, were allowed to take their last program and promote their new program, their new endeavor? Come on give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Just wondering!

Been Thinkin

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

His show is the only one in the Fox line up that doesn't win in it's time slot. Headline News beat him pretty regularly - and continuously since the first of the year.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

GB would not be in the news category.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I saw it. Like him. And, considered joining for a fee. I think I'll wait to see what his new TV show plays out.

I enjoy Rush, Hannity and Beck all in different ways, and get tired of them all in different ways. I tend to enjoy O'reilly the most when it comes to TV.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Glenn was by far my favorite on Fox. His teaching on the rise of Socialism and exposing the players was the most powerful thing I have seen in media. He literally forced Van Jones out of office.

How else would we have known about the connection of Obama with all the socialists he appointed. How would we have known the President was a disciple of Saul Alinsky? Thumbs up to Glenn as a news commentator and patriot.

Thumbs down on his false teaching concerning Jesus Christ and Christianity. No I wont be paying to watch.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I agree. None of these shows (with the exception of Bret Baier's) are truly "news" programs - they're Opinion and Commentary or "news analysis." Sometimes they just descend into celebrity gossip and other fluff. Still, the common vernacular that is used (and, as you've pointed out, used somewhat confusingly) is to refer to all of the programs on the "Cable News" channels as "news."

I suppose one could glean the contents of the day's news stories from even a Glenn Beck Show - but you'd have to distill it from a great deal of commentary. That's why I'm such a fan of Bret Baier (and Brit Hume before him). They just present the news. They do have some "talking heads" come on for some opinion and analysis - but that part is clearly delineated from the news presentation.

Saying that, I don't think it's "wrong" to do the opinion and "analysis" stuff. That's obviously what the television consumer is demanding, to a large degree. And, the guy who practically invented this whole format - Bill O'Reilly - has also been the most successful in terms of ratings, for a very long time. He dedicates a portion of each show specifically to the celebrity gossip and "fluff" types of "news." That's where he made his bones with Inside Hollywood (or whichever "Hollywood" show it was that he created back in the 80's). So, there's obviously a market and a perceived "need" for that stuff - just not for me.

Earlier, I was thinking along the lines of what Beck's show was doing last winter. See, for example: http://www.businessinsider.com/for-t...ox-news-2011-2

He was tanking and losing out to, of all things, Headline New's "Special Report." For Roger Ailes that must have stood out like a sore thumb. Everyone of his programs was always first in it's time slot - except Glenn Beck. And, people were obviously tuning Beck out. I imagine that there were some behind the scenes discussions as Ailes and others sought to help Beck out - but Beck seems to have considered it all as being "a part of his soul." Whatever, Beck. It's a highly competitive environment and there are literally a million people waiting to take your job.

I simply have to agree with the numbers. Whatever it was within the soul of Mr. Beck that was so important to him that he was willing to tank his own show simply wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention for more than a couple of minutes. Turn the channel.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

The Van Johnson expose was perhaps Beck's finest hour. Of course, Johnson helped immensely by being such an outspoken commie. (And literally too folks - the guy was a self described communist, I'm not just calling names here).

As to Saul Alinsky - just about everyone on the Left is a "disciple" of Saul Alinsky. His "Rules for Radicals" has been the Democratic National Committee's playbook since at least the 1970's. For some, it really goes back as far as the Roosevelt administration.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

I can't find any closed captioning available on GBTV, so I can't really speak to the quality or contents of Mr. Beck's newest offering - just to his show on the Fox News Channel.

Concerning his "9/12" project, he covered that on his show and I did catch some elements of it. LOL. I actually had a very similar idea back a number of years ago when I found myself depressed with the way America (under the Bush admin) was responding to the attacks.

Everything seemed to fixate on "9/11." And, that's inevitable given the "shock and awe" of those terrorist attacks. But, we needed leaders who would lead us out of the smoke and dust of Lower Manhattan and into the next chapter of our lives. Instead, all we were getting was bigger government and more spending. Not a good plan, imho.

You're correct about the "I ain't doing nothing and I'm disgusted with someone who is..." mentality. That's just human nature. However, the reason a lot of people tend to sit things out is because the voices they hear of those who are "doing something" seem to be askew at some important and critical points. I agree with where Beck wants to go, generally agree. I just don't think he'll get us there with all of the baggage he wants us to carry.

I had a pastor who used to frequently say, "Let's do something! Even if it's wrong!" And by "wrong" he didn't mean sin, just "nutty." His publicity stunts and various antics usually made the local news and even national and international news as well. He said that he was doing all of this "to get the message (Acts 2:38 and all) out there..."

However, "the message" was never a part of the news stories. Nor was anyone ever won over to "the message" by any of these publicity stunts. Instead, he created a church full of people who usually held their heads down when in public and were too ashamed to even say what church it was that they attended. It was often humiliating and it made it hard to actually "win" anyone who had ever heard of the church. We spent most of our time waiting for the effects latest stunt to blow over so that we could begin to have church again.

I think a lot of people are afraid to find themselves mixed up in anything like that. Public humiliation isn't something most people really seek, so there will always be a great hesitation to get on board with anyone who has even the ring of "nuttiness" to their message.

John Stossel did great Friday on Fox...js :thumbsup

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Not sure why you felt the need to tell us that you don't have a tv.

Re: GBTV: will you join?
 

Who is Glenn beck?
I do not have cable.
I have found that people who have their own net work are often self seeking. not always but many are.
