Why Glenn Beck Passed Sean Hannity and is Now Ranked #2 On FoxNews

Have you ever met someone that you didn't particularly care for, but agreed with their points of view about 95% of the time? That's how I feel about Sean Hannity; it's not that I don't disagree with him most of the time, I do agree with him, but he comes across as a whining Republican hack that has thin skin.

I am a Constitutionalist, which means that I believe that it's a legal document that binds the federal government to the states and limits its role. It's not a "living" document as many liberals and progressives would have you believe.

The chief complaint I have about Sean Hannity, or Sean Vannity as I like to call him, is that he doesn't go after some Republican politicians like Mark Levin (he refers to some of them as Repubicans), Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Really, Lars Larsen and Glenn Beck does. He tends to gloss over some of them, like Lindsey Graham and John McCain to name just two.

And there seems to be some issues with Glenn Beck at FoxNews. A rumor is going around that there are some "journalists" that are a bit concerned that Beck is fast becoming the center piece of the news giant, though where this is coming from are anonymous sources and we know how that goes.

Mediaite posted an article that appears to narrow down the list of "concerned journalists" to just one. And who do you think they concluded was the "concerned journalist"? Why, none other than Sean Hannity.

And it makes sense. When Alan Combs left, Hannity was number two on FoxNews. Glenn Beck has been there for a little over a year now and has surpassed Hannity and is quickly catching up to Bill O'Reilly.

Why is Glenn Beck so popular? He is the only commentator on cable news that combines history with opinion and he tells it like it is, not caring if there is an R or a D next to name. He rightly points out that progressivism is the cancer and points out who they are in government, political affiliation be damned. By contrast, Hannity glosses over it if the politician turns out to be a Republican, no matter how progressive they are. If he were to go after these progressives masquerading as Republicans with the gusto he does with democrats, I'd probably have more respect for him.

Recently, Debbie Schlussel posted a hit piece claiming that Hannity's Freedom Concerts are nothing more than scams and lumps Oliver North in it as well. As much as I dislike Hannity's approach to politics, I personally don't believe it for a second, as Hannity has proven to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is a patriot and supports the troops.

Until more information is gleaned from these accusations, I'll refrain from responding. If it turns out to be true, then Sean Hannity and Oliver North have a lot to answer for.
